USER MANUAL FatMax FMC650M2 STANLEY

ENGLISH (Original instructions) Intended use Your Stanley Fat Max jigsaw has been designed for sawing wood, plastics and sheet metal. This tool is intended for professional and private, non professional users. Safety instructions General power tool safety warnings

Warning! Read all safety warnings and all instructions. Failure to follow the warnings and instructions listed below may result in electric shock, re and/or serious injury. Save all warnings and instructions for future reference. The term "power tool" in all of the warnings listed below refers to your mains operated (corded) power tool or battery oper- ated (cordless) power tool.

a. Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents. b. Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of ammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes. c. Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.

2. Electrical safety

a. Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodied plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock. b. Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed or grounded. c. Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock. d. Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock. e. When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock. f. If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a residual current device (RCD) protected supply. Use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.

a. Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a power tool. Do not use a power tool while you are tired or under the inuence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury. b. Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection. Protective equipment such as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries. c. Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the off-position before connecting to power source and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool. Carrying power tools with your nger on the switch or energising power tools that have the switch on invites accidents. d. Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool on. A wrench or a key left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in personal injury. e. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations. f. Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught in moving parts. g. If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure these are connected and properly used. Use of dust collection can reduce dust-related hazards.

4. Power tool use and care

a. Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your application. The correct power tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed. b. Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on and off. Any power tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired. c. Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or the battery pack from the power tool before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally. d. Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the power tool or these instructions to operate the power tool. Power tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.5 ENGLISH (Original instructions) e. Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other condition that may affect the power tools operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools. f. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control. g. Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc. in accordance with these instructions, taking into account the working conditions and the work to be performed. Use of the power tool for operations different from those intended could result in a hazardous situation.

5. Battery tool use and care

a. Recharge only with the charger specied by the manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for one type of battery pack may create a risk of re when used with another battery pack. b. Use power tools only with specically designated battery packs. Use of any other battery packs may create a risk of injury and re. c. When battery pack is not in use, keep it away from other metal objects, like paper clips, coins, keys, nails, screws, or other small metal objects, that can make a connection from one terminal to another. Shorting the battery terminals together may cause burns or a re. d. Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from the battery; avoid contact. If contact accidentally occurs, ush with water. If liquid contacts eyes, additionally seek medical help. Liquid ejected from the battery may cause irritation or burns.

a. Have your power tool serviced by a qualied repair person using only identical replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained. Additional power tool safety warnings

Warning! Additional safety warnings for jigsaws and reciprocating saws u Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces, when performing an operation where the cutting accessory may contact hidden wiring. Cutting accessory contacting a "live" wire may make exposed metal parts of the power tool "live" and could give the operator an electric shock. u Use clamps or another practical way to secure and support the workpiece to a stable platform. Holding the work by hand or against your body leaves it unstable and may lead to loss of control. u Keep hands away from cutting area. Never reach underneath the work piece any reason. Do not insert ngers or thumb into the vicinity of the reciprocating blade and blade clamp. Do not stabilize the saw by gripping the shoe. u Keep blades sharp. Dull or damaged blades may cause the saw to swerve or stall under pressure. Always use the appropriate type of saw blade for the workpiece material and type of cut. u When cutting pipe or conduit, make sure that they are free from water, electrical wiring, etc. u Do not touch the workpiece or the blade immediately after operating the tool. They can become very hot. u Be aware of hidden hazards, before cutting into walls, oors or ceilings, check for the location of wiring and pipes. u The blade will continue to move after releasing the switch. Always switch the tool off and wait for the saw blade to come to a complete standstill before putting the tool down. Warning! Contact with, or inhalation of dusts arising from cut- ting applications may endanger the health of the operator and possible bystanders. Wear a dust mask specically designed for protection against dust and fumes and ensure that persons within or entering the work area are also protected. u The intended use is described in this instruction manual. The use of any accessory or attachment or performance of any operation with this tool other than those recom- mended in this instruction manual may present a risk of personal injury and/or damage to property. Safety of others u This tool is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capa- bilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety. u Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance. Residual risks. Additional residual risks may arise when using the tool which may not be included in the enclosed safety warnings. These risks can arise from misuse, prolonged use etc. Even with the application of the relevant safety regulations and the implementation of safety devices, certain residual risks can not be avoided.

ENGLISH (Original instructions) Assembly Warning! Before assembly, remove the battery from the tool and make sure that the saw blade has stopped. Used saw blades may be hot. Fitting and removing the saw blade (g. B) u Hold the saw blade (10) with the teeth facing forward. u Lift the saw blade locking lever (3) upwards. u Insert the shank of the blade fully into the blade clamp (4) as far as it will go. u Release the lever. u To remove the saw blade (10), lift the saw blade locking lever (3) upwards and pull the blade out. Fitting and removing the battery (g. C) u To t the battery (7), line it up with the receptacle on the tool. Slide the battery into the receptacle and push until the battery snaps into place. u To remove the battery, push the release buttons (11) while at the same time pulling the battery out of the receptacle. Use Warning! Let the tool work at its own pace. Do not overload. Warning! Never use the tool when the saw shoe is loose or removed. Charging the battery (g. A) The battery needs to be charged before rst use and whenev- er it fails to produce sufcient power on jobs that were easily done before. The battery may become warm while charging; this is normal and does not indicate a problem. Warning! Do not charge the battery at ambient temperatures below 10 °C or above 40 °C. Recommended charging tem- perature: approx. 24 °C. Note: The charger will not charge a battery if the cell temperature is below approximately 10 °C or above 40 °C. The battery should be left in the charger and the charger will begin to charge automatically when the cell tempera- ture warms up or cools down. u To charge the battery (7), insert it into the charger (8). The battery will only t into the charger in one way. Do not force. Be sure that the battery is fully seated in the charger. u Plug in the charger and switch on at the mains. The charging indicator (9) will blink. The charge is complete when the charging indicator (9) switches to continuously on. The charger and the battery can be left connected indenitely. The LED will switch on as the charger occasionally tops up the battery charge. u Charge discharged batteries within 1 week. Battery life will be greatly diminished if stored in a discharged state. Leaving the battery in the charger The charger and battery pack can be left connected with the LED glowing indenitely. The charger will keep the battery pack fresh and fully charged. Charger diagnostics If the charger detects a weak or damaged battery, the charging indicator (9) will ash red at a fast rate. Proceed as follows: u Re-insert the battery (7). u If the charging indicators continues ashing red at a fast rate, use a different battery to determine if the charging process works properly. u If the replaced battery charges correctly, the original battery is defective and should be returned to a service centre for recycling. u If the new battery gives the same indication as the original battery, take the charger to be tested at an authorised services centre. Note: It may take as long as 30 minutes to determine that the battery is defective. If the battery is too hot or too cold, the LED will alternately blink red, fast and slow, one ash at each speed and repeat. Switching on and off (g. D & E) u To switch on, slide the lock off switch (2) to the left then pull and hold the variable speed trigger switch (1). u To switch off, release the trigger switch (1). Warning! Do not switch the tool on or off while under load. Warning! Always slide the lock off switch (2) to the right, the locked position when the tool is not in use. Variable speed control The variable speed on/off switch offers a choice of speeds for greatly improved cutting rates in various materials. u The speed is determined by the amount the trigger switch (1) is pulled. Bevel cutting (g. F, G & H) The shoe plate can be set to a left or right bevel angle of 45°. To set the bevel angle: u Loosen the shoe retaining bolt (12) with the hex key provided to unlock the shoe plate (5). u Slide the shoe plate (5) forward to release it from the 0° detent. u Rotate the shoe plate to the desired bevel angle (g. G). u Slide the shoe plate backwards to engage the left or right detent. u Tighten the shoe retaining bolt (12) with the hex key provided to lock the shoe plate (5) in the required position. Note: The shoe can be beveled to the left or to the right and has detents at 45°.8 ENGLISH (Original instructions) Cutting action (g. I) This jig saw is equipped with three cutting actions, two orbital and one straight. Orbital action has a more aggressive blade motion and is designed for cutting in soft materials like wood or plastic. Orbital action provides a faster cut, but with a less smooth cut across the material. In orbital action, the blade moves forward during the cutting stroke in addition to the up and down motion. Warning! Metal or hardwoods should never be cut in orbital action. u Slide the cutting action button (6) between the three cut- ting positions: 0, 1 and 2. u Position 0 is for straight cutting. u Positions 1 and 2 are for orbital cutting. u The aggressiveness of the cut increases as the lever is adjusted from one to two, with two being the most aggres- sive cut. Sawing u Always hold the tool with both hands. u Let the blade run freely for a few seconds before starting the cut. u Apply only a gentle pressure to the tool while performing the cut. u If possible, work with the shoe plate (5) pressed against the workpiece. This will improve tool control and reduce tool vibration, as well as prevent the blade from being damaged. Hints for optimum use General u Use a high speed for wood, a medium speed for alu- minium and PVC and a low speed for metals other than aluminium. Sawing laminates As the saw blade cuts on the upward stroke, splintering may occur on the surface closest to the shoe plate. u Use a ne-tooth saw blade. u Saw from the back surface of the workpiece. u To minimise splintering, clamp a piece of scrap wood or hardboard to both sides of the workpiece and saw through this sandwich. Sawing metal Be aware that sawing metal takes much more time than sawing wood. u Use a saw blade suitable for sawing metal. Use a ne- tooth saw blade for ferrous metals and a coarser saw blade for non-ferrous metals. u When cutting thin sheet metal, clamp a piece of scrap wood to the back surface of the workpiece and cut through this sandwich. u Spread a lm of oil along the intended line of cut.
