OPERATION TIPS

WARNING

Be careful not to twist or bend the saw blade.

■

Do not force the product.

■

Use cutting oil when cutting soft metals and steel.

Cutting oil also keeps the blades cool, increases cutting

action, and prolongs blade life.

■

Clamp the workpiece firmly and cut close to the

clamping point to eliminate any vibration of the work.

When cutting conduit pipe or angle iron, secure the

workpiece with a vise, if possible, and cut close to the

vise. To cut a thin-sheet material, place the material

between two hardboards or plywood and clamp the

layers to eliminate vibration and material tearing.

■

Always keep a firm forward pressure on the tool to keep

the shoe in contact with the workpiece.

■

Do not use cracked or distorted saw blades. Do not use

saw blades that are damaged or deformed.

WARNING

Dust from certain paints, coatings, and materials may

cause irritation or allergic reactions. Dust from wood

such as oak, beech, MDF, and others are carcinogenic.

Materials containing asbestos should only be worked on

or processed by qualiﬁ ed specialist operators.

WARNING

Always wear safety goggles or safety glasses with

side shields when operating the product. Failure to do

so could result in objects being thrown into your eyes

resulting in possible serious injury.

MAINTENANCE

WARNING

The product should never be connected to a power

supply when assembling parts, making adjustments,

cleaning, performing maintenance, or when the product

is not in use. Disconnecting the product will prevent

accidental starting that could cause serious injury.

■

When servicing, use only identical replacement parts.

Use of any other parts may create a hazard or cause

product damage.

■

Avoid using solvents when cleaning plastic parts. Most

plastics are susceptible to various types of commercial

solvents and may be damaged by their use. Use clean

cloths to remove dirt and carbon dust.

■

Do not, at any time, let brake fluids, gasoline, petroleum-

based products, penetrating oils, etc., come in contact

with plastic parts. They contain chemicals that can

damage, weaken, or destroy plastic.

■

Always wear safety goggles or safety glasses with side

shields during power tool operation or when blowing

dust. If operation is dusty, also wear a dust mask.

■

For greater safety and reliability, all repairs should be

performed by an authorised service centre.

GENERAL

Avoid using solvents when cleaning plastic parts. Most

plastics are susceptible to various types of commercial

solvents and may be damaged by their use. Use clean

cloths to remove dirt, carbon dust, etc.

Electrical tools used on ﬁ berglass material, wallboard,

spackling compounds, or plaster are subject to accelerated

wear and possible premature failure because the ﬁ berglass

chips and grindings are highly abrasive to bearings,

brushes, and commutators. We do not recommend using

the product for extended periods of time on these types

of materials.

WARNING

Do not use compressed air to blow dust from the product.

This practice is dangerous and can cause dirt and grit to

be blasted into someone's eyes, causing injury.

LUBRICATION

All of the bearings in the product are lubricated with a

sufﬁ cient amount of high grade lubricant for the life span of

the product under normal operating conditions. Therefore,

no further lubrication is required.
