Vibration Hazards
This information shall draw attention to vibration hazards that have not been
eliminated by design and construction and remain as residual vibration
risks. It shall enable employers to identify the circumstances in which the
operator is likely to be at risk from vibration exposure If the vibration-
emission value obtained using ISO 28927-3 does not adequately represent
the vibration emission in the intended uses (and foreseeable misuses) of the
machine, additional information and/or warnings shall be supplied to enable
the risks arising from vibration to be assessed and managed.
• Exposure to vibration can cause disabling damage to the nerves and
blood supply of the hands and arms
• Wear warm clothing when working in cold conditions and keep your
hands warm and dry
• If you experience numbness, tingling, pain or whitening of the skin in
your fingers or hands, stop using the sander or polisher, inform your
employer and consult a physician
• Operate and maintain the machine as recommended in the instruction
handbook, to prevent an unnecessary increase in vibration levels
• Hold the tool with a light but safe grip, taking account of the required
hand reaction forces, because the risk from vibration is generally greater
when the grip force is higher
Additional Safety Instructions
for Pneumatic Power Tools
Air under pressure can cause severe injury:
• Always shut off air supply, drain hose of air pressure and disconnect tool
from air supply when not in use, before changing accessories or when
making repairs
• Never direct air at yourself or anyone else
• Whipping hoses can cause severe injury. Always check for damaged or
loose hoses and fittings
• Whenever universal twist couplings (claw couplings) are used, lock
pins should be installed and whipcheck safety cables should be used
to safeguard against possible hose-to-tool or hose-to-hose connection
failure
• Do not exceed the maximum air pressure stated on the tool
• Never carry an air tool by the hose

Unpacking Your Tool

• Carefully unpack and inspect your tool. Fully familiarise yourself with all
its features and functions
• Ensure that all parts of the tool are present and in good condition. If
any parts are missing or damaged, have such parts replaced before
attempting to use this tool

Intended Use

Reciprocal saw, powered by compressed air from a compressor, for sawing
thin sheet metal commonly used in vehicles.

Before Use

Fitting the quick connector
Note: This tool is supplied with two different male airline quick connectors:
EQ-4 – commonly used in Europe
EN-6 – mainly used in the UK
EQ-4
Europe
• Please choose the connector that is compatible with the airline system
you are using, and install as outlined below:
1. Apply some PTFE tape (not included) to the screw threads of the Quick
Connector (1). This will help to maintain an air-tight seal
Note: Apply PTFE tape tightly and in a clockwise direction, so it does not
come off when the thread is screwed into the tool.
2. Remove the protective plug from the air inlet
3. Using a spanner (not included) screw the quick connector into the air
inlet located at the base of the handle
4. Connect to airline, pressurise carefully and carry out a leak check (e.g.
by spraying small amounts of soapy water on to the outside of the
connectors)
• Air lines fitted with matching female quick connectors will now be a push
fit to the tool
Fitting a blade
WARNING: Disconnect your tool from the air supply before carrying out any
blade replacement, adjustment or maintenance.
1. Use the Hex Keys (11) provided to unscrew the Blade Clamp Cover
Screw (8) to access the blade clamp
2. Unscrew the Blade Clamp Screws (7) by about half a turn each
3. Insert the Blade (6) into the clamp, making sure it passes the blade
clamp screws fully
4. Check that the teeth of the blade are facing towards the blade clamp
cover
5. Check that the blade is secure by pulling on it firmly
6. Tighten the blade clamp screws , close the cover and tighten the
cover screw
Adjusting the guide
1. Loosen the Blade Guide Screws (4)
2. Slide the Blade Guide (5) in or out as required
