MACHINE-SPECIFIC SAFETY WARNINGS SAFETY WARNINGS FOR JIGSAWS

a. 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.

b. Keep hands away from the sawing range. Do not

reach under the workpiece. Contact with the saw

blade can lead to injuries.

c. Apply the machine to the workpiece only when

switched on. Otherwise there is danger of kickback

when the cutting tool jams in the workpiece.

d. When the cut is completed, switch off the machine

and then pull the saw blade out of the cut only

after it has come to a standstill. In this manner you

can avoid kickback and can place down the machine

e. Use only sharp, awless saw blades. Bent or

unsharp saw blades can break or cause kickback.

f. Do not brake the saw blade to a stop by applying

side pressure after switching off. The saw blade

can be damaged, break or cause kickback.

g. Use suitable detectors to determine if utility lines

are hidden in the work area or call the local utility

company for assistance. Contact with electric lines

can lead to re and electric shock. Damaging a gas

line can lead to explosion. Penetrating a water line

causes property damage or may cause an electric

USE GETTING STARTED Thank you for purchasing the Dremel Moto-Saw. The

Moto-Saw is a compact and very easy to use 2-in-1 scroll

saw. It can be used either in stationary mode, when the

tool is docked in its base or in hand-held mode. This tool

is intended to perform precise straight and curved cuts

in different materials including soft wood, hard wood,

composite boards, laminate, PVC or soft sheet metal using

the applicable accessories recommended by Dremel.

Using the Moto-Saw in stationary mode gives you the

freedom to cut different materials with both hands holding

your work piece. In this mode you can complete different

hobby or wood working projects precise and easily.

Using the Moto-Saw in hand-held mode is advisory when

the work piece is too big or xed and therefore cannot be

put onto the base. Typical hand-held operation includes

coping work or cutting smaller pieces of materials. In

hand-held mode the Moto-Saw functions as a motorised

1. Make sure the base is securely attached to a at work

surface with the help of the clamps provided.

The base can be permanently secured to a work

bench with regular screws through the 2 holes located

on the top of the base. PICTURE 1

2. DO NOT sit or lean on the base. The base is meant to

support the materials being cut.

3. Once the base is secured, dock the Moto-Saw in it:

rst feed the cable through the base’s hole and then

simply click the unit into the base. The Moto-Saw is

securely docked, when the hand-held unit and the

stationary base are ush. PICTURE 2-4

4. Only use the Dremel Moto-Saw in the base. Other

electric power tools are not intended to be used with
