Use and Care Manual

Wood cutting
1. Before cutting any type of wood, be sure the work piece
is firmly anchored or clamped to prevent slipping.
2. Place blade and shoe lightly against work to be cut.
3. Switch on saw motor before applying pressure.
Metal cutting
1. In thin gauge sheet metals it is best to clamp wood to the
underside of the sheet. This will ensure a clean cut
without excess vibration or tearing of metal.
2. Avoid forcing cutting blade as this reduces blade life and
causes costly blade breakage.
Pocket cutting
1. Measure the surface area to be cut and mark clearly with
a pencil, chalk or scriber.
2. Insert blade in blade clamp and tighten blade clamp
securely.
3. Tip the saw backward until the bottom edge of the shoe is
resting on the work surface.
4. Switch motor on, permitting blade to attain maximum
speed.
5. Grip handle steadily and begin a slow, deliberate upward
swing with the handle of the saw.
6. The blade will begin to feed into material. Always be sure
blade is completely through material before continuing
with pocket cut.
WARNING
Always hold saw firmly with both hands while cutting.
Whenever possible, the shoe must be held firmly against the
material being cut. This will prevent the saw from jumping
or vibrating and minimize blade breakage..
8 MAINTENANCE
CAUTION
Do not let brake fluids, gasoline, petroleum-based materials
touch the plastic parts. Chemicals can cause damage to the
plastic, and make the plastic unserviceable.
CAUTION
Do not use strong solvents or detergents on the plastic
housing or components.
WARNING
Remove the battery pack from the machine before
maintenance.
8.1 CLEAN THE MACHINE
CAUTION
The machine must be dry. Humidity can cause risks of
electrical shocks.
Clear the unwanted material out of the air vent with a
vacuum cleaner.
Do not spray the air vent or put the air vent in solvents.
Clean the housing and the plastic components with a
moist and soft cloth.
