ADDITIONAL SAFETY RULES

1. Avoid cutting nails. Inspect for and remove all

nails from the workpiece before operation.

2. Do not cut hollow pipe.

3. Do not cut oversize workpiece.

4. Check for the proper clearance beneath the

workpiece before cutting so that the blade will

not strike the floor, workbench, etc.

5. Hold the machine firmly.

6. Make sure the blade is not contacting the

workpiece before the switch is turned on.

7. Keep hands away from moving parts.

8. When cutting through walls, floors or wher-

ever ‘‘live’’ electrical wires may be encoun-

tered, DO NOT TOUCH ANY METAL PARTS OF

THE MACHINE! Hold the machine only by the

insulated grasping surfaces to prevent electric

shock if you cut through a ‘‘live’’ wire.

9. Do not leave the machine running. Operate the

machine only when hand-held.

10. Always switch off and wait for the blade to

come to a complete stop before removing the

blade from the workpiece.

11. Do not touch the blade or the workpiece imme-

diately after operation; they may be extremely

hot and could burn your skin.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Installing or removing saw blade (Fig.1&2)

CAUTION:

•

Always be sure that the machine is switched off and

unplugged before installing or removing the blade.

•

Always clean out all chips or foreign matter adher-

ing to the blade and/or blade holder. Failure to do so

may cause insufficient tightening of the blade,

resulting in a serious injury.

To install the blade, loosen the bolt on the blade

holder with the hex wrench. With the blade teeth

facing forward, insert the blade into the blade holder

as far as it will go. Make sure that the back edge of the

blade fits into the roller. Then tighten the bolt to secure

the blade.

To remove the blade, follow the installation proce-

dures in reverse.

NOTE:

Occasionally lubricate the roller.

Hex wrench storage (Fig. 3)

When not in use, the hex wrench can be conveniently

stored as shown in Fig. 3.

Dust cover (Fig. 4)

CAUTION:

Always wear safety goggles even when operating the

machine with the dust cover lowered.

Lower the dust cover to prevent chips from flying.

However, when making bevel cuts, raise it all the way.

Switch action (Fig. 5)

CAUTION:

Before plugging in the machine, always check to see

that the switch trigger actuates properly and returns to

the ‘‘OFF’’ position when released.

To start the machine, simply pull the trigger. Release

the trigger to stop. For continuous operation, pull the

trigger and then push in the lock button. To stop the

machine from the locked position, pull the trigger fully,

then release it.

Can I store power tools in a shed or garage? Verified

In general, you can store power tools in a shed or garage, even if it sometimes freezes there. However, it is better for the lifespan of the power tool to store it in a dry place without major temperature fluctuations. In a shed or garage, differences in temperature can cause condensation to form, which can cause rust. In addition, tools that run on batteries last shorter and do not charge as well at very low temperatures. To be sure how your power tool needs to be stored, always thoroughly read the user manual.
