After having followed the instructions given in the previous
Preliminary operations paragraph, proceed as follows in
order to perform the cut.
Warning: do not touch any moving parts of your
hand saw, in particular the blade, when operating.
turn your hand saw on and move closer to the
material to be cut. When the blade touches the
surface, push the hand saw toward the material and
let the blade going inside the material till you reach
the desired cutting depth. Than move the hand saw
parallel to the surface in order to perform the cut;
your hand saw is intended to perform straight cuts
only;
avoid friction between the blade-side and the work
piece: move the hand saw just forward avoiding
side movement of the blade. The friction can
overload the motor;
Warning: When working, make sure you stand
safely. Always hold your machine with both
hands. The blade can jam, so be always ready
to face this event: the electronic of your
machine allows you to move the machine out,
to free the blade and to continue cutting.
use the handles and hold your hand saw firmly with
both hands (see figure 3 and 4) and be ready to
resist to possible saw's movements;
cutting materials containing wood, cork, rubber,
foam polystyrene can result in problems moving
forward the machine. If you have this kind of
problems, stop cutting and remove all materials
listed before and proceed with cutting operations. If
you cannot remove these materials, stop cutting
and cut in another position;
in case the electric power goes off, position the
switch in the off position to prevent the machine
from accidentally self starting;
when you complete the cut, switch off your hand
saw and wait till the blade comes to a complete
stop. Then pull the hand saw out of the cut and
close the water valve (C). Watch out! The blade
and the cutting area can be very hot and cause
severe burns.
Electronic devices
Your hand saw is equipped with a CARDI multifunction
electronic device that includes a soft-start and an electronic
clutch:
the soft-start allows the motor to start gradually,
reducing peak current that occurs when you switch
the motor on, helps you when you begin cutting,
allowing gradual blade rotation and avoiding jerks
at the operator's arm. It allows you to use your
hand saw connected to household electrical outlet.
the electronic clutch cuts off power to the motor in
case of excessive overload, increasing the operator
safety and preventing damage to the motor. When
the overload is over, the device gives back power to
the motor that begins working again;
if the electronic clutch operates frequently means
that the hand saw is not used properly. Possible
causes can be a not suitable forward speed, an
excessive friction between the blade-side and the
material, excessive cutting depth. In these cases,
stop cutting and let the machine turn with no load
for some seconds, helping the motor cool down.

Periodic maintenance
at the end of the work, after having removed the
blade, blow compressed air inside the rotating
motor in order to remove dust and powder. Do this
operation wearing protective goggles;
before starting any other cleaning, maintenance or
lubrication operation make sure that the hand saw
is unplugged;
keep your hand saw clean and dry, in particular its
handles and its moving parts;
never use solvents or other harsh chemicals for
cleaning your hand saw;
after use put your hand saw in a dry, safe place
inaccessible to children place;
gears are lubricated by lubricating oil and grease
which are suited for any external temperature. You
don't have to check the oil level or to fill it up.
always unplug the hand saw during check or blade
replacement;
never unplug the hand saw by pulling the cord;
inspect often the power cable and extension cords,
making sure that they don't have any damage like
cuts, abrasions or exposed wires. If you find a
damage, ask to a CARDI authorized service centre
for replacement;
do
not
use
the

service centres;
your machine's serial number is stamped on the
machine or printed on the data plate as shown in
figure 7;
use original CARDI spare parts only.
