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
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
WARNING: Always disconnect this tool from the power supply before attaching or removing
accessories, or making any adjustments.
Attaching the guard
The Guard (6) needs to be attached to the Adjustable Angle Guide (5) prior to use:
1. For easier assembly, set the adjustable guide into the 90° position
2. Slide the guard onto the guide with the plastic locating arms positioned over the top, and the
plastic face being located underneath
Note: The face has two locating tabs which align the guard into the correct position.
Dust extraction
• For best possible dust extraction, this tool should be connected to a vacuum cleaner or a workshop
dust extraction system via its Dust Extraction Port (9)
• If both are unavailable, the supplied Dust Bag (10) needs to be fitted, by pushing it on to the Dust
Extraction Port
Note: If using the dust bag, remove and clean out on a regular basis. Ideally, empty the dust bag
when it is half full.
Adjusting the cutting depth
• Rotate the Depth Selector (14), to set the required cutting depth
WARNING: Failure to correctly adjust the plunging depth could cause damage to the workpiece.
Note: Although the Depth Selector (14) can be used to judge changes in depth setting, always make a
trial cut on scrap material to confirm the settings.
Fine adjustment of cutting depth
• Fine adjustment of the plunge depth can be made using the Depth Adjustment Knob (15)
1. Loosen the retaining nut with a suitable spanner
2. Turn the Depth Adjustment Knob to adjust as required
Note: One full rotation clockwise will result in a 1mm change of cutting depth.
3. Refasten the retaining nut once the adjustments are made
