• Due to our continuing programme of research and development, the specifications herein are subject to change without notice.

• Note: Specifications may differ from country to country.

Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.

Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord to carry the tools or pull the plug from an outlet.

Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Replace damaged cords immediately. Damaged cords increase the risk of electric shock.

When operating a power tool outside, use an outdoor extension cord marked “W-A” or “W”.

These cords are rated for outdoor use and reduce the risk of electric shock.

WARNING: Read and understand all instructions. Failure to follow all instructions listed below, may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious personal injury.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS Personal Safety

Keep your work area clean and well lit. Cluttered benches and dark areas invite accidents.

Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases, or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.

Keep bystanders, children, and visitors away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.

10. Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Contain long hair. Keep your hair, clothing, and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry, or long hair can be caught in moving parts.

11. Avoid accidental starting. Be sure switch is off before plugging in. Carrying tools with your finger on the switch or plugging in tools that have the switch on invites accidents.

Double insulated tools are equipped with a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other.) This plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician to install a polarized outlet.

Do not change the plug in any way. Double insula-

12. Remove adjusting keys or wrenches before turning the tool on. A wrench or a key that is left attached to a rotating part of the tool may result in personal injury.

tion eliminates the need for the three wire grounded power cord and grounded power supply system.

Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a power tool. Do not use tool while tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or medication. A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.

13. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. Proper footing and balance enables better control of the tool in unexpected situations.

Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is grounded.

14. Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection must be used for appropriate conditions. Ordinary eye or sun glasses are NOT eye protection.

have the tool serviced before using. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained tools.

15. Use clamps or other practical way to secure and support the workpiece to a stable platform. Holding the work by hand or against your body is unstable and may lead to loss of control.

22. Use only accessories that are recommended by the manufacturer for your model. Accessories that may be suitable for one tool, may become hazardous when used on another tool.

16. Do not force tool. Use the correct tool for your application. The correct tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it is designed.

23. Tool service must be performed only by qualified repair personnel. Service or maintenance performed by unqualified personnel could result in a risk of injury.

17. Do not use tool if switch does not turn it on or off. Any tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.

18. Disconnect the plug from the power source before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing the tool. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the tool accidentally.

24. When servicing a tool, use only identical replacement parts. Follow instructions in the

Maintenance section of this manual. Use of unauthorized parts or failure to follow Maintenance instructions may create a risk of electric shock or injury.

19. Store idle tools out of reach of children and other untrained persons. Tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.

USE PROPER EXTENSION CORD: Make sure your extension cord is in good condition. When using an extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to carry the current your product will draw. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating. Table 1 shows the correct size to use depending on cord length and nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gage. The smaller the gage number, the heavier the cord.

20. Maintain tools with care. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.

21. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, and any other condition that may affect the tools operation. If damaged,

Ventilate your work area adequately.

Check the bit carefully for cracks or damage before operation. Replace cracked or damaged bit immediately.

Check for the proper clearance beneath the workpiece before cutting so that the bit will not strike a hard surface such as the floor, workbench, etc.

Do not cut metal objects such as nails and screws. Inspect for and remove all nails, screws and other foreign material from the workpiece before operation.

Check that the bit is not contacting the workpiece before the switch is turned on. Always hold the tool with two hands while switching the tool on. The motor torque can cause the tool to turn.

Before using the tool on an actual workpiece, let it run for a while. Watch for vibration or wobbling that could indicate improperly installed bit.

Make sure that the shaft lock is released before the switch is turned on.

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION CAUTION:

Always be sure that the tool is switched off and unplugged before adjusting or checking function on the tool.

10. Always use with the shoe securely attached to the tool and positioned flat and firmly against the workpiece.

11. Hold the tool firmly.

12. Do not perform any operation using your hands to support or guide the workpiece.

13. Keep hands away from moving parts.

14. Do not use this tool for drilling. 15. Do not leave the tool running. Operate the tool only when hand-held.

16. Always switch off and wait for the bit to come to a complete stop before removing the bit from workpiece.

To adjust the shoe, turn the thumb screw to loosen. Slide the shoe to the desired position and tighten the thumb screw securely. Check for the proper clearance beneath the workpiece before cutting so that the bit will not strike a hard surface such as the floor, workbench, etc.

17. Do not touch the bit or the workpiece immediately after operation; they may be extremely hot and could burn your skin.

18. Always lead the power supply cord away from the tool towards the rear.

19. Some material contains chemicals which may be toxic. Take caution to prevent dust inhalation and skin contact. Follow material supplier safety data.

Installing or removing bit

Collet nut Shaft lock Wrench Loosen Tighten

Avoid forcing the bit to bend or twist. It may snap. Before turning the tool on, make sure the bit and collet nut are securely tightened. Hold the tool secure with the bit pointing in a safe direction not contacting any surface and slide the switch to the ’’ON’’ position. Wait until the tool attains full speed. When starting the multipurpose bit into the material, hold the tool at approximately a 45 degree angle with the edge of the shoe base contacting the material. Carefully bring the tool to a straight position so the shoe base is in full contact with the material.

Do not tighten the collet nut without inserting a bit, or the collet cone will break. • When using the bit with 6.35 mm (1/4”) shank diameter, first replace the collet cone 3.18 mm (1/8”) with the collet cone 6.35 mm (1/4”), then install the bit. To install the bit, insert the bit all the way into the collet cone. Press the shaft lock to keep the shaft stationary and use the wrench to tighten the collet nut securely. To remove the bit, follow the installation procedure in reverse. •

guide together. After completion of the adjustment, tighten the thumb screw securely.

When the cut is complete, turn the tool off and wait for the bit to stop rotating and then carefully remove it from the material.

Loosen the knob, and adjust its position in accordance with the size of the circle to be cut. (The hole dimensions to be cut are indicated on the side of the circular guide as a general guideline.) After completion of the adjustment, tighten the knob securely.

Insert the end of the knob into the center of the circle to be cut, and proceed to cut in a clockwise direction.

When using this tool, the rotating action causes the tool to pull. The less pressure applied to the tool causes less pull and provides a more accurate cut.

Excessive pressure or fast cutting can cause the bit to dull or break premature. When cutting drywall around outlet boxes, cut in a counterclockwise direction for ease of cut. The standard bit included with this tool is for cutting drywall only. When cutting materials other than drywall, do not use the standard drywall guide bit.
