Each.one.of.the.blade.types.listed.above.is.available.with.different.cutting.length.
To select the appropriate blade consider the material to be cut (metal, wood, etc.) and the necessary
length.
Choose the blade length, so that the blade projects out of the material 35 mm at least. Observing this
rule will reduce to minimum the possibility for injury during operation (Fig. 1)
To achieve maximum efficiency and precise cut, to preserve blade sharpness and increase blade life,
always use blades with proper length and suitable for the specific job and the processed material.
.WArNING:.The blade heats to high temperature during operation. Do not touch the blade im-
mediately.after.ceasing.operation.to.avoid.a.possible.burning..We.recommend.to.lay.the.saw.down.
for.a.while.until.the.blade.has.cooled.and.to.use.protective.gloves.when.replacing.a.blade..

Installing.the.blade

1. Ensure that the plug is pulled out of the supply socket.
2. Take the hex wrench (8) out of its holder (9).
3. Lay the machine down on a solid flat surface as shown on Fig. 2Never place the machine on the
cord protector (7) while installing or replacing the blade (13) - this may result in cord damage and
risk of electric shock.
4. Loosen the screw (10) until its head will touch the cover wall.
5. Take out the old blade (13) carefully.
ref.
6. Position the new blade (13) in such a way, that the centring pin(14) will engage in the centring open-
ing of the blade shank.
7. Fasten the screw (10) carefully, until the strap (11) will reach the blade (13).

8. Ensure that the blade (13) is properly positioned in its strap (11).
9. Tighten the screw (10) firmly.
10. Place the hex wrench (8) back in its holder (9).
046004*
The careful and exact execution of the above mentioned procedures guarantee the stable and reliable
fixing of the blade to the machine.
046005*
The blade is fixed by the forces acting between the blade, the piston and the strap, as well as by the
precise profile groove in the strap, copying the blade shank. The centring pin is used to orientate ini-
tially.the.blade.and.it.is.not.intended.to.endure.force.loading.during.operation.
046006*
In.case.the.blade.has.been.mounted.in.a.wrong.way.the.centring.pin.will.endure.force.loading.and.
may.warp.or.shear.off,.and.the.machine.has.to.be.presented.to.the.service.centre.for.replacement.of.
the.centring.pin.
046009**
Never.operate.the.machine.with.a.warped.or.missing.centring.pin!
If the screw can not tighten the blade attaching mechanism securely because the screw socket, the
screw.thread.or.the.hex.wrench.are.worn,.the.centring.pin.will.warp.or.shear.off..For.this.reason.re-
place.the.screw.or.the.hex.wrench.well.before.wear.becomes.excessive.

Switching.on.-.switching.off

046011*
.WArNING:.Before connecting the power tool to a power source ensure that the voltage sup-
046012* ply is the same as the one specified on the nameplate of the machine.
Switching.on: Hold the saw firmly. Make sure the blade does not touch any object. Push forward the
lock-on button(5), and then press the ON/OFF switch (6).
The machine is equipped with soft-start electronics – the machine starts at low speed to reach after
3–4 seconds the rated speed.
Switching.off: To stop operation release the ON/OF switch (6).

Holding.the.power.tool

Always hold the power tool as shown on Fig.3, to prevent electric shock. The gear housing, the sup-
port.and.the.blade.can.become.live.if.during.operation.the.saw.comes.into.contact.with.a.live.wire..
Hold the machine for the rear handle(4) and the rubber housing (2), to decrease the possibility for
electric shock to the minimum.
Square.cutting.with.support
Mount the bracket (20) for square cutting onto the machine, so that the bracket shaft (19) inserts the
joint opening (15) on the machine and the limiting pin (17) inserts the profiled groove (16).
Ensure that the prism of the bracket (20) for square cutting is clean from chips and dirt as this might
result in improper positioning of the work piece and lack of perpendicularity.
Position the machine with the bracket (20) onto the pipe in such a way, so that the clamping screw is
perpendicular.to.the.pipe.
