Assembly
CAUTION: Always be sure that the tool is switched off and unplugged before carrying out any work on the tool.
Removing or installing saw blade (Fig. 5 & 6)
CAUTION: Be sure the blade is installed with teeth pointing up at the front of the tool.
Use only the Bormann wrench to install or remove the blade.
To remove the blade, press the shaft lock so that the blade cannot revolve and use the hex wrench to loosen the hex bolt counter-clockwise. Then remove
the hex bolt, outer flange and blade.
For tool with the inner flange for a 15.88mm hole diameter saw blade (Fig. 7)
Mount the inner flange with its recessed side facing outward onto the mounting shaft and then place saw blade, outer flange and hex bolt.
BE SURE TO TIGHTEN THE HEX BOLT CLOCKWISE SECURELY.
For tool with the inner flange for a other than 15.88 mm hole-diameter saw blade (Fig. 8)
The inner flange has a certain diameter protrusion on one side of it and a different diameter protrusion on the other side. Choose a correct side on which
protrusion fits into the saw blade hole perfectly.
Next, mount the inner flange onto the mounting shaft so that the correct side of protrusion on the inner flange faces outward and then place saw blade and
outer flange.
BE SURE TO TIGHTEN THE HEX BOLT CLOCKWISE SECURELY.
CAUTION: Make sure that the protrusion "a" on the inner flange that is positioned outside fits into the saw blade hole "a" perfectly. Mounting the blade on
the wrong side can result in the dangerous vibration.
Hex wrench storage (Fig. 9)
When not in use, store the hex wrench as shown in the figure to keep it from being lost.
Operation (fig. 10)
CAUTION: Be sure to move the tool forward in a straight line gently. Forcing or twisting the tool will result in overheating the motor and dangerous kickback,
possibly causing severe injury.
Always use a front grip and rear handle and firmly hold the tool by both the front grip and rear handle during operations. The tool is provided with both a
front grip and rear handle. If both hands are holding saw, they cannot be cut by the blade. Set the base on the workpiece to be cut without the blade making
any contact. Then turn the tool on and wait until the blade attains full speed. Now simply move the tool forward over the workpiece surface, keeping it flat
and advancing smoothly until the sawing is completed.
To get clean cuts, keep your sawing line straight and your speed of advance uniform. If the cut fails to properly follow your intended cut line, do not attempt
to turn or force the tool back to the cut line. Doing so may bind the blade and lead to dangerous kickback and possible serious injury. Release switch, wait for
blade to stop and then withdraw tool. Realign tool on a new cut line, and start cut again. Attempt to avoid positioning which exposes operator to chips and
wood dust being ejected from saw.
Use eye protection to help avoid injury.
Rip fence (guide rule) (not included with all models) (Fig. 11)
The handy rip fence allows you to do extra-accurate straight cuts. Simply slide the rip fence up snugly against the side of the workpiece and secure it in posi-
tion with the screw on the front of the base. It also makes repeated cuts of uniform width possible.

Maintenance

CAUTION:
Always be sure that the tool is switched off and unplugged before attempting to perform inspection or maintenance.
Never use gasoline, benzine, thinner, alcohol or the like. Discolouration, deformation or cracks may result.
Replacing carbon brushes (Fig. 12 & 13)
Remove and check the carbon brushes regularly.
Replace when they wear down to the limit mark. Keep the carbon brushes clean and free to slip in the holders.
Both carbon brushes should be replaced at the same time. Use only identical carbon brushes.
Use a screwdriver to remove the brush holder caps. Take out the worn carbon brushes, insert the new ones and secure the brush holder caps.
