q) On completion of the work, disconnect the tool from the power source
r) Periodically check all nuts, bolts and other fixings and tighten where necessary
Cutting tool safety
WARNING. Before connecting a tool to a power source (mains switch power point receptacle,
outlet, etc.) be sure that the voltage supply is the same as that specified on the nameplate of
the tool. A power source with a voltage greater than that specified for the tool can result in
serious injury to the user, and damage to the tool. If in doubt, do not plug in the tool. Using a
power source with a voltage less than the nameplate rating is harmful to the motor.
Use the correct cutting tool
• Ensure the cutting tool is suitable for the job. Do not assume a tool is suitable without
checking the product literature before use
Protect your eyes
• Always wear appropriate eye protection when using cutting tools
• Spectacles are not designed to offer any protection when using this product; normal lenses
are not impact resistant and could shatter
Protect your hearing
• Always wear suitable hearing protection when tool noise exceeds 85dB
Protect your breathing
• Ensure that yourself, and others around you, wear suitable dust masks
Protect your hands
• Do not allow hands to get close to the cutting wheel or blades. Use a suitable push stick for
shorter workpieces with appropriate power tools
Be aware of others around you
• It is the responsibility of the user to ensure that other people in the vicinity of the work area
are not exposed to dangerous noise or dust and are also provided with suitable protective
equipment
Hidden objects
• Inspect the workpiece and remove all nails and other embedded objects before cutting
• Do not attempt to cut material that contains embedded objects unless you know that the
cutting tool fitted to your machine is suitable for the job
• Walls may conceal wiring and piping, car body panels may conceal fuel lines, and long
grass may conceal stones and glass. Always check the work area thoroughly before
proceeding
Beware of projected waste
• In some situations, waste material may be projected at speed from the cutting tool. It is the
user's responsibility to ensure that other people in the work area are protected from the
possibility of projected waste
Fitting cutting tools
• Ensure cutting tools are correctly and securely fitted and check that wrenches / adjusters
are removed prior to use
• Only use cutting tools recommended for your machine
• Do not attempt to modify cutting tools
Direction of feed
• Always feed work into the blade or cutter against the direction of movement of the blade or
cutter
Beware of heat
• Cutting tools and workpieces may become hot in use. Do not attempt to change tools until
they have been allowed to cool completely
Control dust / swarf
• Do not allow dust or swarf to build up. Sawdust is a fire hazard, and some metal swarf is
explosive
• Be especially careful when cutting wood and metal. Sparks from metal cutting are a
common cause of wood dust fires
• Where possible, use a dust extraction system to ensure a safer working environment

Before Use
Fitting drill bits
WARNING: The Drill Bits are very sharp; always wear gloves and handle with care.
1. Rotate one of the Drill Bit Holders (19) until you have access to the fastening screw (Image
A)
2. Loosen the screw using the supplied Hex Key (15)
3. Hold the bit so that the flat section of the shank will align with the fastening screw.
4. Insert the shank as far as it will go into the holder, and tighten the fastening screw to
secure in place
5. Check the bit is securely fastened
6. Repeat procedure with the other bit
Zeroing the depth gauge
After fitting the drill bits, it is necessary to re-set the Depth Gauge (8) and Zero Indicator (7) so
that the gauge reads correctly (Image B)
1. Loosen the Depth Gauge Locking Knob (6) enough so the Depth Gauge can move freely
2. Use a scrap piece of wood placed against the Front Face (12) and carefully push the Tool
Body (4) forwards until it stops, so that the cutting point of the drill bits is level with the
surface of the Front Face. Hold this in position
Note: Depending on the drill bits used, it may already be very close to level with the Front
Face and may only need minor or possibly no movement for the drill bits to be level with the
Front Face
3. Move the Depth Gauge (8) as far back as possible away from the Front Face and then
re-tighten the Depth Gauge Locking Knob while still holding the position in Step 2
4. Loosen and rotate the Zero Indicator (7) slightly so that the pointer is level with '0' on the
Depth Gauge then re-tighten.
5. Carry out a final check to ensure the drill bits are level with the Front Face while the Zero
