Element 14 Manual Original instructions Nov 2019
Let the blade reach full speed before cutting. Don't Force the Tool. It will do the job better and be safer at its
designed rate. Feed the saw into the workspace only fast enough to let the blade cut without bogging down or
binding.
Before freeing jammed material:
。Turn saw "OFF" by releasing trigger switch.
。Wait for all moving parts to stop.
。Unplug the Metal-Cutting saw.
After finishing a cut:
。Keep holding the power head down.
，Release the switch, and wait for all moving parts to stop before moving your hands.
Before Leaving the Saw:
Never Leave Tool Running Unattended. Turn power off Wait for all moving parts to stop.
Make Workshop Childproof. Lock the shop. Disconnect master switches. Store tool away from children and
other not qualified to use the tool.
Motor Safety Protection
Important: To avoid motor damage, this motor should be blown out or vacuumed frequently to keep dust from
interfering with normal motor ventilation.
1.Connect this tool to a power source with the appropriate voltage for your model and a 20-amp branch
circuit. Use with wrong size fuse can damage the motor.
2.If the motor won't start, release the trigger switch immediately. Unplug the Tool. Check the saw blade to
make sure it turns freely. If the blade is free, try to start. See the "Motor Trouble-Shooting Chart."
3.If the motor suddenly stalls while cutting, release the trigger switch, unplug the tool, and free the blade from
the work piece. The motor may now be restarted and the cut finished.
4.Fuses may "blow" or circuit breakers may trip frequently if:
a: Motor is Overloaded-Overloading can occur if you feed too rapidly or make too many start/stops in a short
time.
b: Line voltages should not be more than 10% above or below the nameplate voltage. For heavy loads,
however, the voltage at motor terminals must equal the voltage specified for your model.
c: Improper or dull saw blade are used.
5.Most motor troubles may be traced to loose or incorrect connections, overload, low voltage (such as small
size wire in the supply circuit) or to overly long supply circuit wire. Always check the connections, the load and
the supply circuit whenever motor doesn't work well. Check wire sizes and length with the Wire Size Chart
below.

7) OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

General Cutting Instructions
WARNING! Always securely fix the material to be cut by using the vise.
WARNING! Always wear safety glasses and protective gloves when operating the Metal-Cutting saw.
WARNING! Always disconnect the tool from power source before making any adjustment.
Familiarize yourself with the following functions of the Metal-Cutting saw before connecting it to a power
source and using it.
1. When starting this Metal-Cutting saw for the first time or after it has been idle for a while, always let the
machine run for one full minute with the blade completely recessed into the guard before making any cuts. If
there any unknown defects in the blade that could cause breakage, they usually would do so within the first
minute of operation. If the blade wobbles or vibrates, discard and replace immediately.
2. When beginning a cut with the saw, care should be exercised not to bump or slam the blade into the work;
once it has entered, continue the cut with an even smooth stroke. The faster a cut is made the less heat is
created in the work piece, preventing discoloring, and blade life is prolonged. Cut with maximum force without
overloading the motor
3. Use an outboard support when cutting long, heavy piece to prevent them from tipping the saw or falling
down after they are cut.
