2. SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Explanation of the symbols

Denotes risk of personal injury, loss of life or damage to the tool in case of non-observance of the instructions in this manual.

Indicates electrical shock hazard.

Wear a dust mask. Working with wood, metals and other materials may produce dust that is harmful to health. Do not work with material containing asbestos!

The number of revolution of the machine can be electronically set.

Safety instructions

The machine must not be damp and must not be operated in a wet environment. Wear protective gloves and sturdy footwear.

Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces, when performing an operation where the cutting accessory may contact hidden wiring or its own cord.

Cutting accessory contacting a “live” wire may make exposed metal parts of the power tool “live” and could give the operator an electric shock.

Do not saw materials containing asbestos!!!

• Wear protective goggles when working with materials which produce large amounts of chips.
• Wear a protective mask when sawing other fibrous materials.
• Remove adjusting keys and wrenches before turning the tool on.
• Secure your workpiece with clamps.
• Move machine towards the workpiece only when switched on.
• Always hold machine with both hands and ensure that you have a safe footing while working.
• The machine may be operated only with the foot plate mounted. When sawing, the foot plate must always rest on the workpiece.
• Incorrect handling may damage the machine. Therefore always comply with the following instructions.

• Use only sharp saw blades in perfect condition; replace cracked, distorted or blunt saw blades immediately.

• Machine should only be switched on with blade installed

• Do not attempt to stop the saw blade with lateral pressure after switching off.
• Only use genuine accessories.

3. MOUNTING ACCESSORIES

Fitting a saw blade

Fig. B

The machine is equipped with a quick fit system.

• Turn the clamping ring (2) of the saw blade holder as far to the left as possible and hold it there.
• Place the saw blade in the blade holder.
• Let go of the clamping ring.
• Make sure when changing the saw blade that the blade holder is free of material debris (such as splinters of wood or metal).
• Before use, always check that the saw blade is securely fixed.

Removing the saw blade

• Turn the clamping ring of the saw blade holder as far to the left as possible and hold it there.
• Remove the saw blade from its holder.
• Let go of the clamping ring.

Adjustment of the guide shoe

Fig. A

When the blade loses its sharpness at some sections of it's cutting edge, reposition the foot plate to use a sharp, unused portion of its cutting edge. Besides this, the foot plate can also be used for adjusting maximum saw depth, especially useful when sawing in hollow walls.

- The footplate can be extended by loosening the two footplate mounting screws (5) using the 4 mm hexagon key and then pulling the footplate out to the required length.

Ensure the footplate adjustment screws are secure before resuming work.

4. OPERATION

Always follow the safety notes and the relevant safety code.

Make sure that the saw blade does not rest on or touch any objects when the machine is switched on.

Switching on and off

Fig. A

• To switch on the machine, press the on/off switch (3).
• To switch the machine to continuous mode, keep the on/off switch (3) pressed and simultaneously press the lock-on button (4).
• To switch off the machine, release the on/off switch (3).

Sawing tips

• Adjust saw blade and stroke rate to suit the material to be processed. For right radius curves it is best to use a narrow saw blade. Apply coolant or lubricant to deal with the fluttering produced along the cut line when sawing metal.
• Check wood, chip boards, building materials etc, for foreign bodies (nails, screws etc.), before sawing and remove them, if necessary.
• Clamp material well. Do not support the workpiece with hand or foot. Do not touch objects or the floor with the saw running (danger of backlash).
• Put the footplate on the surface of the workpiece, and saw through it with constant contact pressure or feed. If the saw blade seizes switch the machine off immediately. Spread the gap with a suitable tool and pull out the saw blade.
• After finishing work, switch off the machine and only put down after it has come to a complete standstill.

Plunge cutting

Fig. C

• Plunge cutting may only be used on soft materials such as wood, aerated concrete, gypsum plaster boards, etc.
• However, this requires a certain practise and is only possible with short saw blades.

• Place the saw onto the workpiece and switch it on.

• Ensure that the bottom edge of the footplate rests on the workpiece surface as shown.

• Slowly saw into the workpiece at an angle, moving the saw to a vertical position and continue to saw along the cutting line.
• Switch the saw off and lift off the workpiece when the work is complete.

Flush sawing

• Elastic bi-metal saw blades allow you to saw protruding objects (e.g, water pipes, iron bars, etc,) nearby the wall.
• Apply the saw blade directly to the wall and bend slightly so that the footplate rests against the wall.
• Switch the machine on and saw off the workpiece keeping constant lateral pressure against the wall.

5. SERVICE & MAINTENANCE

Make sure that the machine is not live when carrying out maintenance work on the motor.

The machines have been designed to operate over a long period of time with a minimum of maintenance. Continuous satisfactory operation depends upon proper machine care and regular cleaning.

Cleaning

Keep the ventilation slots of the machine clean to prevent overheating of the engine. Regularly clean the machine housing with a soft cloth, preferably after each use. Keep the ventilation slots free from dust and dirt. If the dirt does not come off use a soft cloth moistened with soapy water. Never use solvents such as petrol, alcohol, ammonia water, etc. These solvents may damage the plastic parts.

Lubrication

The machine requires no additional lubrication.

Faults

Should a fault occur, e.g. after wear of a part, please contact the service address on the warranty card. In the back of this manual you find an exploded view showing the parts that can be ordered.

Checking and replacing the carbon brushes

Fig. A

The carbon brushes must be checked regularly. If the carbon brushes are worn, the machine will start to run unevenly.

Only use the correct type of carbon brushes.

• Remove the carbon brush holders (6) using a screwdriver.
• Clean the carbon brushes.
• In case of wear, replace both carbon brushes at the same time.
• Mount the carbon brush holders (6) using a screwdriver.
• After mounting the new carbon brushes, let the machine run at no load for 15 minutes.

ENVIRONMENT

To prevent damage during transport, the appliance is delivered in a solid packaging which consists largely of reusable material.

Therefore please make use of options for recycling the packaging.

Faulty and/or discarded electrical or electronic apparatus have to be collected at the appropriate recycling locations.

Only for EC countries

Do not dispose of power tools into domestic waste. According to the European Guideline 2012/19/EU for Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment and its implementation into national right, power tools that are no longer usable must be collected separately and disposed of in an environmentally friendly way.

WARRANTY

The warranty conditions can be found on the separately enclosed warranty card.
