4. When the blade is at its maximum speed (approxi-
mately 2 seconds), place the saw on the work-piece.
5. Switch on the laser generator from the laser ap-
erture using the laser generator switch 4.
6. Align the beam with the mark on the work-piece
and slowly push the saw forward using both
hands, keeping the red light beam on the mark.
7. Switch off the laser beam when completion of
the cut.
OPERATION
General cutting
1. When starting, always hold the saw handle with one
hand and the auxiliary handle 6 with the other hand.
Never force the saw but maintain a light and contin-
uous pressure after completing the cut allow the
saw to come to a complete stop. When cutting is in-
terrupted, resume cutting by allowing the blade to
reach full speed and then reentering the cut slowly.
2. When cutting across the grain, the fibers of the
wood have a tendency to lift and tear, moving the
saw slowly minimizes this effect.
Pocket cutting
1. Disconnect the plug from the power supply before
making any adjustments. Set the depth adjustment
based on the thickness of the line drawing for the
cut. Raise the lower guard by using the lift lever.
2. With the blade barely above the material to be cut,
start the saw and allow the blade to come to full
speed. Gradually lower the blade unto the mate-
rial to be cut using the front end of the shoe as a
pivot point. When the blade starts cutting, release
the lower guard. When the shoe is resting flat on
the surface being cut, proceed cutting in a forward
direction to the end of the cut. Allow the blade to
come to a full stop before removing it from the cut.
Never pull the saw backward since the blade will
climb out of the cut and kickback will occur. Turn
the saw around and finish the cut in a normal man-
ner, sawing forward. Use a jigsaw or a hand saw to
finish the cut in the corners, if required.
Cutting Large Sheets
1. Large sheet or boards require support to prevent
bends or sags. If you attempt to cut without lev-
eling and properly supporting the work piece, the
blade will tend to bind, causing kickback.
2. Support the panel or board close to the cut. Be
sure to set the blade adjustment so that you can
cut through the material without cutting into the
table or workbench. Suggestion: use two by fours
to support the board or panel to be cut. If the piece
is too large for the workbench, use the floor with
the two-by fours supporting the wood.
MAINTENANCE
1. To prevent accidents, always unplug the saw from
the power source before cleaning or performing
any maintenance the saw may be cleaned most ef-
fectively using compressed air. Always wear safety
goggles when using compressed air. If compressed
air is not available, use a brush to remove dust and
chips from the saw.
2. Motor ventilation vents and switch levers must be
kept clean and free of foreign matter. Do not at-
tempt to clean by inserting pointed objects through
openings.
3. Never use any caustic agents to clean plastic parts.
Such as: gasoline, carbon tetrachloride, chlorinat-
ed cleaning solvents, ammonia and household
cleaners containing ammonia. Do not use any of
these to clean the saw.
4. Have an authorized service center examine and/
or replace the worn carbon brushes in the event
of excessive parking.
5. Blades become dull even when cutting regular lum-
ber, a sure sign of a dull blade is the need to force the
saw forward instead of guiding it while making a cut.
Take the blade to a service center for sharpening.
6. Keep the machine clean all the time.
7. If you discover any damage, consult the explod-
ed drawing and parts list to determine exactly
which replacement part you need to order from
our customer service department.
8. Clean the housing only with a damp cloth. Do not
use any solvents! Dry thoroughly afterwards. In or-
der to maintain battery capacity, we recommend
the battery to be completely discharged every one
month and fully recharged again. Only store with a
fully charged battery and top-up the charge from
time to time if stored for a long time. Store in a
dry and frost-free place, the ambient temperature
should not exceed 40°C.
9. If the supply cord of this power tool is damaged,
it must be replaced by a similar cord available
through the service organization or a qualified au-
thoritative technician.
10. For safety reasons, the machine automatically
switches off if the carbon brushes are so worn out
that they no longer have contact with the motor.
In that case, the carbon brushes must be replaced
by a pair similar carbon brush available through the
after-sales service organization or qualified profes-
sional person.
CAUTION: The brushes must always be replaced in
pairs.
CAUTION: Always disconnect the machine from
the power supply before removing any electrical
covers.
