Plunge Cutting


WARNING: Hold saw firmly with both hands for all
cutting operations.

WARNING: Inspect work area for hidden electrical
wiring, gas pipes or water pipes before making blind
or plunge cuts. Failure to do so may result in electrical
shock, fire, explosion, or property damage.
Sanding

WARNING: Fire hazard. When working on metal
surfaces, do not use a vacuum cleaner because sparks
are generated. Wear safety glasses and a dust mask.
Due to the danger of fire, do not use your sander to
sand magnesium surfaces. Do not use for wet sanding.
nOTE: Do not rest fingers on platen during use. Move it in
long sweeping strokes across the surface, letting it do the
work. Light pressure is all that is required for sanding.

Helpful Hints

Always ensure the workpiece is firmly held or clamped to
prevent movement. Any movement of the material may
affect the quality of the cutting or sanding finish.
Do not start sanding without having the sandpaper
attached to sanding platen.
Use coarse grit paper to sand rough surfaces,
medium grit for smooth surfaces and fine grit for the
finishing surfaces. If necessary, first make a test run on
scrap material.
Excessive force will reduce the working efficiency and
cause motor overload. Replacing the accessory regularly
will maintain optimum working efficiency.
Do not allow the sandpaper to wear away, it will damage
the sanding pad.
If the tool overheats, especially when used at low speed,
set the speed to maximum and run it with no load for
2–3 minutes to cool the motor. Avoid prolonged usage
at very low speeds. Always keep the blade sharp.

injury, turn unit off and remove the battery pack
