OPERATION
Fig.11
CAUTION:
•
Always press the shoe firmly against the workpiece
during operation. If the shoe is removed or held
away from the workpiece during operation, strong
vibration and/or twisting will be produced, causing
the blade to snap dangerously.
•
Always wear gloves to protect your hands from hot
flying chips when cutting metal.
•
Be sure to always wear suitable eye protection
which conforms with current national standards.
•
Always use a suitable coolant (cutting oil) when
cutting metal. Failure to do so will cause premature
blade wear.
Press the shoe firmly against the workpiece. Do not
allow the tool to bounce. Bring the blade into light
contact with the workpiece. First, make a pilot groove
using a slower speed. Then use a faster speed to
continue cutting.
MAINTENANCE
CAUTION:
•
Always be sure that the tool is switched off and the
battery cartridge is removed before attempting to
perform inspection or maintenance.
•
Never use gasoline, benzine, thinner, alcohol or
the like. Discoloration, deformation or cracks may
result.
Replacing carbon brushes
Fig.12
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.
