To Make a Cut
WARNING: ALWAYS use safety glasses. Everyday
eyeglasses are NOT safety glasses. Also use face or
dust mask if cutting operation is dusty. ALWAYS WEAR
CERTIFIED SAFETY EQUIPMENT.
WARNING: CUT HAZARD. Before cutting any type of
material, be sure it is firmly anchored or clamped to
prevent slipping.
WARNING: CUT HAZARD. Let the tool work at its own
pace. Do not overload, blade breakage may occur.
1. Clearly mark the desired cutting area.
2. Switch the tool on before applying pressure and
slowly feed the blade into the workpiece at the
marked location.
WARNING: CUT HAZARD. Ensure the blade is not in
contact with cutting surface before starting saw.
3. Advance the blade along the cutting line until cut is
completed. Don't force the tool; let the blade cut at its
own speed.
4. Switch the tool off.
nOTE: Always use the appropriate type of saw blade for
the workpiece material and type of cut. Cut only with sharp
blades; they cut cleaner, faster and put less strain on the motor
while cutting.
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.
