CUTTING ADVICE

WARNING: The operator should wear all
relevant PPE (Personal Protection Equipment)
necessary for the job at hand. This could include
safety glasses, dust masks, safety shoes, etc.
The operator should always be aware of the
position and routing of the power cable.
• Do not force the machine.
• Allow the saw blade do the work. Cutting
performance will not be improved by
applying excessive pressure to the machine,
and blade life will be reduced.
• When using the parallel edge guide, ensure
that it is parallel with the blade. The blade
and/or motor could become damaged if the
machine is used with an incorrectly adjusted
parallel edge guide.
• To set the guide, loosen the two retaining
screws, and adjust the guide to the required
position. Tighten the locking screws.
• Place front edge of base plate squarely on
the workpiece before starting the motor.
• When starting a cut, align the cutting line
with the line of cut guide, taking care to
introduce the blade to the material slowly,
so as not to damage its teeth.
• Use both hands to move the saw forward
through the workpiece.
• Apply smooth, constant pressure to move
the saw forward through the workpiece.
When a cut has been completed, release the
ON/OFF trigger switch and allow the blade to
come to a complete halt. Do not apply lateral
pressure to the blade in an attempt to slow it
down more quickly.

WARNING: If the motor should stop or stall
whilst a cut is being attempted, release the
trigger switch immediately and disconnect
the machine from the power supply. Remove
the machine from the workpiece before
investigating the cause and attempting to
restart the motor.
Note: This saw is fitted with an overload
protection device. This is designed to prevent
overloading and consequent damage to the
motor. If this feature 'trips' , the motor stops and
will not operate.
Allow the machine to cool down and then press
the 'reset switch' at the base of the main handle.

MAINTENANCE

WARNING: Any maintenance must be carried out
with the machine switched off and disconnected
from the mains/battery power supply.
Check that all safety features and guards are
operating correctly on a regular basis.
Only use this machine if all guards/safety
features are fully operational.
All motor bearings in this machine are lubricated
for life. No further lubrication is required.
Use a clean, slightly damp cloth to clean
the plastic parts of the machine. Do not use
solvents or similar products which could
damage the plastic parts.
WARNING: Do not attempt to clean by
inserting pointed objects through openings in
the machine's casings, etc.
The machine's air vents should be cleaned
using compressed dry air.
Excessive sparking may indicate the presence of
dirt in the motor or worn out carbon brushes.
