180˚ ROTATING HANDLE
The handle of the machine can be rotated through 180˚ and has
3 positions to achieve maximum control during cutting.
To rotate the handle:
• Slide and hold the handle rotation button backwards.
(Fig. 8)
• Twist the handle through 90˚ into the desired position.
• Release the rotation button.
• Check the handle is secure and the button is fully engaged.
WARNING: Handle adjustments must only be made when the
motor is off. Adjusting the handle while the tool is in use can
lead to serious injury.

GENERAL CUTTING

WARNING: Never start the machine with the blade in contact
with the workpiece.
• Select a low stroke rate.
• Hold the machine with both hands.
• Ensure that the workpiece contact plate is firmly in contact
with the workpiece but that the blade is not. (Fig. 9).
• Switch on the machine.
• Very gradually, and holding the machine firmly, introduce the
blade into the workpiece until it is cutting successfully.
• Operate the stroke rate control dial until optimum cutting
performance is achieved.
• Never 'force' the blade. Allow the blade to cut through the
workpiece without applying undue pressure. Forcing the
blade will reduce blade life, increase the likelihood of blade
breakage, and put strain on the machines motor.
WARNING: If the saw blade should jam, switch off the machine
immediately and disconnect from the mains supply.
JAMMED BLADES
WARNING: Jammed blades may be very hot and/or
contaminated with debris. The operator should exercise great
caution when attempting to remove a 'jammed' blade,
and employ all necessary PPE.
To remove a jammed blade the kerf (the saw cut made by the
blade) will have to be widened.
• Remove the machine from the blade by operating the blade
clamping dial, and carefully easing the machine from the
jammed blade.
• Widen the kerf with a suitable tool until the blade can be
pulled from the workpiece.
