1.

  Screw the Handle into threaded hole at the vertical 

or parallel position for easier operation.

2.

  Ensure that the Switch is at “O” position.

CAUTION:

 

As a safety function of this tool, 

the Motor cannot be energised when the battery is 

inserted with the Switch at “l” position. For fur-

ther safety, please note that the battery should be 

inserted with the Switch at “O” position.

3.

 

Insert the battery into the tool.

4.

  Slide the Switch to “l” position. The motor is on. 

Then push down on the forward end of the Switch to 

lock it for operating continuously.

WARNING:

 

Do not touch the rotating parts as 

they can cause serious injury.

5.

  Position the Guide in the opening against the 

rebar.

Then push the tool forward slowly to start to cut 

the rebar.

CAUTION:

 

When cutting, both at the begin-

ning and near the end, slow down the tool’s for-

ward (cutting) movement. A fast cutting action, at 

these times, will damage the Tipped Saw blades 

and can cause injury from flying debris.

CAUTION:

 

Hold the tool firmly so that it does 

not shake when cutting. Cutting with the tool 

shaking will shorten the life of the Tipped Saw and 

damage the blades.

CAUTION:

 

Position the tool so it is at 90 

degrees to rebar to be cut. If the tool is not at 90 

degrees to the rebar, it can cause shaking and 

overload the tool.

CAUTION:

 

Do not start cutting immediately 

after the motor is switched on. Allow the Tipped 

Saw to reach full speed before beginning to cut.

CAUTION:

 

Do not remove the battery when 

the motor is switched on. Doing so can cause 

damage to the motor’s electronics.

6.

  After finishing the cut, push down on the rear end 

of the Switch which will cause the Switch to move to the 

“O” position and turn off the motor.

CAUTION:

 

This tool is designed to cut rebar. 

Please contact the manufacturer or your local 

dealer if you want to cut other materials. Cutting 

other materials will damage the Tipped Saw 

blades.

Caution when cutting

1.

  Ensure that the Tipped Saw blade is well away 

from the material to be cut before switching on.

2.

  Slow down the forward (cutting) movement of the 

tool when approaching the end of the cut. This is espe-

cially important when the piece to be cut is less than 50 

mm in length. The piece cut off can strike the Tipped 

Saw blades, damaging them and cause serious injury.

3.

  When the Tipped Saw blades become blunt or 

chipped. replace the blade. Continuing to use it in this 

condition will overload the tool.

4.

 

If the material moves or shakes, when being cut, 

stop the operation and properly secure the material.

5.

 

Do not hold by hand the material to be cut. Doing 

so may result in personal injury.

6.

  Do not cut rebar that in size or hardness exceeds 

the cutting capacity of the tool.

Replace the Tipped Saw when any 

of the below occurs

1.

 

Warning Lamp (red) blinks frequently even though 

the battery is fully charged.

2.

  The Tipped Saw blades are chipped or worn.

3.

 

The cutting speed is very slow.

4.

 

The surface of the cut piece is discolored by heat. 

NOTE:

 Tipped Saw blades cannot be resharpened.

How to fit the Dust Bag

1

Fig.8

► 

Fig.8:

    

1.

 Dust Bag

1.

 

Place the open end of the Dust Bag over the Dust 

Bag Holder and secure in place with the draw strings.

2.

  Give the bag a sharp tug to ensure it is properly 

secured.

CAUTION:

 

The Dust Bag is made from non-

flammable material but very hot debris, such as 

that produced when cutting with a worn Tipped 

Saw blade, can melt the material. Be aware of this 

possibility when using the Dust Bag.
