Kickback
Kickback may occur when the nose or tip of the blade touches an object, or when the wood
closes in and pinches the saw blade in the cut.
Tip contact in some cases may cause a sudden reverse reaction, kicking the blade up and back
towards the operator.
Pinching the saw blade along the top of the guide bar may push the saw rapidly back towards
the operator.
Either of these reactions may cause you to lose control of the saw which could result in serious
personal injury. Do not rely
exclusively upon the safety devices built into your saw. As a pruner saw user, you should take
several steps to keep your cutting jobs free from accident or injury.
Kickback is the result of tool misuse and/or incorrect operating procedures or conditions and can
be avoided by taking proper precautions as given below:

This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical,
sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and
knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the
appliance by a person responsible for their safety. Young children should
be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
Keep all parts of the body away from the saw blade when the saw is operating. Before you
start the garden saw, make sure the saw blade is not contacting anything. A moment of
inattention while operating saws may cause entanglement of your clothing or body with the
saw blade.
Wear safety glasses and hearing protection. Further protective equipment for head, hands,
legs and feet is recommended. Adequate protective clothing will reduce personal injury by
fiying debris or accidental contact with the saw blade.
Do not operate a garden saw in a tree. Operation of a garden saw while up in a tree may
result in personal injury.
Always keep proper footing and operate the garden saw only when standing on fixed, secure
and level surface. Slippery or unstable surfaces such as ladders may cause a loss of
balance or control of the saw.
When cutting a limb that is under tension be alert for spring back. When the tension in the
wood fibres is released,the spring loaded limb may strike the operator and/or throw the
garden saw out of control.
Use extreme caution when cutting brush and saplings. The slender material may catch the
saw blade and be whipped toward you or pull you off balance.
Keep handles dry, clean, and free from oil and grease. Greasy, oily handles are slippery
causing loss of control.
Maintain a firm grip, with thumbs and fingers encircling the garden saw
handles, with both hands on the saw and position your body and arm to allow you to resist
kickback forces. Kickback forces can be controlled by the operator, if proper precautions are
taken. Do not let go of the garden saw.
Do not overreach and do not cut above shoulder height. This helps prevent unintended tip
contact and enables better control of the garden saw in unexpected situations.
Only use replacement blades specified by the manufacturer. Incorrect blades may cause
blade breakage and kickback.
following
operations
The clamping jaw allows branches to be gripped, providing cutting of unsupported branches
easier. When cutting wider branches or timber, the clamping jaw can be removed and the
garden saw can be used as a standard reciprocating saw.
Fitting the Clamping Jaw
The clamping jaw can not be fitted or removed with the blade fitted. If the blade is fitted, first
remove the blade and then follow the steps below.

Note: Ensure the clamp is secured by pulling the clamp away from the body.
Align the upper tab of the clamping jaw with the hole in the saw housing.
Press and hold the clamping jaw release into the unlock position.
Push the clamping jaw tab into the hole in the housing and release the clamping jaw release.

Cutting blades
Caution! Do not handle blades without gloves as they are sharp and can become hot after
use, potentially causing personal injury.
Fitting a cutting blade
The garden saw can be fitted with standard reciprocating saw blades, therefore can be used to
cut various timbers and plastics. If the clamping jaw is going to be used, ensure it is fitted before
installing the blade.
1.
Press and hold the clamping jaw release into the unlock position.
Pull the clamping jaw away from the saw body.
Rotate and hold the blade holder anticlockwise.
2.
3.
Removing the cutting blade
1.
Insert the cutting blade into the blade holder.
Release the blade holder and ensure the blade is secure by pulling on the blade.
Rotate and hold the blade holder anticlockwise.
Remove the cutting blade from the blade holder.
Place the battery into the seating of the charger.
Plug the charger into a power socket and the red charging light should illuminate.
3.
Note: It will take 4-5 charging cycles before the battery reaches optimum charge and run time.

Troubleshooting
LED lights do not illuminate on charger
●
●
The battery has a short run time
●
Variable speed trigger is locked
●
●
Saw has cut out during use
●
Sparking visible through the housing air vents
Position the shoe of the saw onto the material to be cut for stability and then perform the cut
holding the saw firmly.
When not in use, the tool should be stored in a dry, frost free location, keep out of children’s
reach.
Keep ventilation slots of the saw clean at all times and prevent anything from entering.
If the housing of the saw requires cleaning, do not use solvents. Use of a cloth only is recom-
mended.
Blow out the ventilation slots with compressed air periodically.
The blade can be sprayed with light oil to avoid rusting.
Check the charging adaptor is securely plugged into the wall outlet.
Check the battery is firmly connected to the charging cradle.
Ensure the battery is properly charged. It will take 4-5 charging cycles before the battery
reaches optimum charge and run time.
Ensure that the safety switch is pressed left or right to enable the trigger to be pressed.
The blade will not insert or remove from the blade holder
Ensure the blade holder is rotated completely clockwise before trying to insert or remove the
blade.
The battery may have run out of power and requires charging. If the battery is fully charged,
it is likely that the battery’s thermal voltage protection has been activated. This can happen
when the saw has been used for extended periods. Place the battery on the charger for an
hour. It will need this time to cool down
and for the protection circuits to be reset.
