CIRCLE CUTTING
Do not use the pendulum action when cutting tight circles or angles
PLUNGE SAWING
Plunge cutting may be used only on soft materials such as wood, aerated concrete, gypsum
plaster boards, etc.
Use only short saw blades.
Place the front edge of the base plate on the workpiece and switch on. Press the machine firmly
against the workpiece and plunge the saw blade slowly into the workpiece.
As soon as the complete surface of the base plate rests on the work piece, continue to saw
along the cutting line. (See Fig. K, L)
METAL CUTTING
Use a finer tooth blade for ferrous metals and a coarse tooth blade for non-ferrous metals. When
cutting thin sheet metals always clamp wood on both sides of the sheet to reduce vibration or
tearing of the sheet metal. Both wood and sheet metal must be cut. Do not force the cutting
blade when cutting thin metal or sheet steel as they are harder materials and will take longer to
cut. Excessive blade force may reduce the life of the blade or damage the motor. To reduce heat
during metal cutting, add a little lubricant along the cutting line.
MAINTENANCE
Remove the plug from the socket before carrying out any adjustment, servicing or
maintenance.
Your power tool requires no additional lubrication or maintenance. There are no user serviceable
parts in your power tool. Never use water or chemical cleaners to clean your power tool. Wipe
clean with a dry cloth. Always store your power tool in a dry place. Keep the motor ventilation
slots clean. Keep all working controls free of dust. Occasionally you may see sparks through the
ventilation slots. This is normal and will not damage your power tool.
If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent or
similarly qualified persons in order to avoid a hazard.
ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION
Waste electrical products should not be disposed of with household waste. Please
recycle where facilities exist. Check with your local authorities or retailer for recycling
advice.
