3. PreParation
3.1
air supply
recommended hook-up procedure is shown in fig.1.
3.1.1 ensure Air saw trigger is in "off" position before connecting to the air supply.
3.1.2 You will require an air pressure of 90psi, and an air flow according to specification.
warninG! ensure the air supply is clean and does not exceed 90psi while operating the tool. too high
an air pressure and unclean air will shorten the product life due to excessive wear, and may be dangerous
causing damage and/or personal injury.
3.1.3 drain the air tank daily. Water in the air line will damage the tool.
3.1.4 clean air inlet filter weekly.
3.1.5 line pressure should be increased to compensate for unusually long air hoses (over 8 metres).
the minimum hose diameter should be 1/4" i.d. and fittings must have the same inside dimensions.
3.1.6 Keep hose away from heat, oil and sharp edges. check hose for wear, and make certain that all connections
are secure.
3.2
couplings
Vibration may cause failure if a quick change coupling is connected directly to the tool.
to overcome this, connect a leader hose to the tool. A quick change coupling may then be used to connect
the leader hose to the air line recoil hose (fig.2).

4. oPeration
warninG! ensure that you read, understand and apply the safety instructions in section 1.
warninG! Disconnect from air supply before changing the blades or files.
4.1
using the saw
4.1.1 loosen the blade set screws, slide the saw blade into place and tighten the blade set screws.
4.1.2 ensure that the workpiece is properly secured and, if necessary, marked out.
4.1.3 Adjust the depth of cut by sliding the saw blade guide to the required position and secure by tightening the
blade guide set screw.
4.1.4 start the saw by pushing the safety catch forward, then pushing the trigger down and bring the moving
blade onto the workpiece. Do not attempt to start the saw with the stationary blade in contact with the
workpiece.
4.1.5 if the cut starts within the bounds of the material, cut a starter slot by handsaw.
4.1.6 if the cut ends within the material, allow the blade to come to a stop before removing the saw from
the workpiece.
4.1.7 do not allow the air tool to run free, whilst not being applied to the material, for any length of time, as this
will damage the bearings.
4.2
using the file
4.2.1 select a file attachment appropriate for the job, loosen the blade set screws, slide the file into place and
tighten the blade set screws.
4.2.2 ensure that the workpiece is properly secured and, if necessary, marked out.
4.2.3 start the saw by pushing the safety catch forward, then pushing the trigger down and bring the file to the
the work surface evenly and slowly.
Do not attempt to start the air tool with the stationary file in contact with the workpiece.
4.2.4 move the file back and forth in overlapping areas.
4.2.5 remove the file from the work surface before stopping the air tool.
4.2.6 do not allow the air tool to run free, whilst not being applied to the material, for any length of time, as this
will damage the bearings.
4.2.7 regularly check the file attachments for wear, always change them if cracked or damaged.
