WARNING: Do not attempt to operate this tool

until you have read thoroughly and understood completely safety rules, etc. contained in this manual. Failure to comply can result in accidents involving fire, electric shock or serious personal injury. Save owners manual and review frequently for continuing safe operation and instructing others who may use this tool.

The operation of any tool can result in foreign objects being thrown into your eyes, which can result in severe eye damage. Before beginning power tool operation, always wear safety goggles or safety glasses with side shields and a full face shield when needed. We recommend Wide Vision Safety Mask for use over eyeglasses or standard safety glasses with shields.

Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered 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 children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.

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 influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury. Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Safety equipment such as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat or hearing protection be used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries. Avoid accidental starting. Ensure the switch is in the off position before plugging in. Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or to plug in power tools that have the switch to ON position can cause accidents. 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. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations. 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. If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure these are connected and properly used. Use of these devices can reduce dust related hazards. 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. 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 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. 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.

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. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.

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 is designed. 22/01/06 EJS-500-600QEO_20 lgs

Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on and off. Any power tool that can not be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired. Disconnect the plug from the power source before making any adjustments, changing accessories or storing the power tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally. Store idle power tools out of 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. Maintain power tools. Check for mis-alignment 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. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.

English BLADE STORAGE (Fig. 3) (FOR EJS-600QEO ONLY) OPERATION A convenient feature on your saw is the blade storage. The blade storage area (11) is located on the back of dust port. It is convenient for storing extra blades when not in use. If you have the lock-on feature engaged during use and your saw becomes disconnected from power supply, disengage the lock-on feature immediately.

WARNING Before connecting your saw to power supply source, always check to be sure it is not in lockon position (depress and release switch trigger). Failure to do so could result in accidental starting of your saw resulting in possible serious injury. Also, do not lock the trigger on jobs where your saw may need to be stopped suddenly.

WARNING Do not insert saw blade (7) into air vents. They could come in contact with electrically live internal parts and cause electric shock, resulting in serious injury. VARIABLE SPEED (Fig. 2) Your saw has a variable speed control selector (2) designed to allow operator control and adjustment of speed and power limits. The speed and power of your saw can be increased (R) or decreased (L) by rotating the variable speed control selector in the direction of the arrows. WARNING Your saw should never be connected to power supply when you are assembling parts, making adjustments, installing or removing blades or when not in use. Disconnecting your saw will prevent accidental starting which could cause serious injury. Note: Hold your saw in normal operating position and turn the variable speed control selector counterclockwise to increase speed and power. Turn clockwise to decrease speed and power. If you wish to lock the switch on at a given speed, depress the switch trigger, push in and hold the lock-on button, and release the switch trigger. Next, adjust the variable speed control selector until the desired speed is reached.

Note: If you desire not to use the variable speed control selector, turn it in the full counterclockwise direction. This will allow the speed of your saw to be controlled by the amount of switch trigger depression.

Avoid running your saw at low speeds for extended periods of time. Running at low speeds under constant usage may cause your saw to become overheated. If this occurs, cool your saw by running it without a load and at full speed.

Pull quick release lever (16) upward. Insert saw blade as far as possible into slot in saw bar. Check to make sure the back of the saw blade is properly positioned in the groove of the roller guide (12). Release the quick release lever. WARNING To avoid possible serious injury, always wear safety goggles or safety glasses with side shields. Keep hands and fingers away, from the motor housing and blade clamp and do not reach underneath work while blade is cutting. The following guidelines may be used in determining correct speed for various applications:

Unplug your saw. WARNING Failure to unplug your saw could result in accidental starting causing possible serious injury. Note: If the variable speed control selector is fully turned in the clockwise direction (zero setting) your saw may not run.

To open: Pull the door down with your thumb or finger. Place blades in blade storage area. To close: Push the door up with your thumb or finger. LOW speed is ideal when minimum speed and power is required, for example starting cuts. MEDIUM speed is suitable for cutting hard metals, plastics and laminates. HIGH speed produces best results when maximum power is required, for example cutting wood. Soft metals such as aluminum, brass and copper also require high speeds. WARNING To avoid serious personal injury, do not use saw without safety guard properly in place.

English Adjusting the angle – EJS-600QEO only OPERATION

Rest the front of the saw base on the workpiece and align cutting edge of the blade with the line on your workpiece. Make sure the power cord is out of the way of saw blade and not in the line of cut. Start your saw and move it forward on the work surface. Apply downward pressure to keep the saw steady and only enough forward pressure to keep the blade cutting.

DO NOT FORCE YOUR SAW

Forcing your saw may overheat the motor and break saw blades. Adjusting the angle – EJS-500QEO only

The blade of your saw cuts in orbital motion. This feature is adjustable and provides faster and more efficient cutting. With orbital motion the blade cuts through your work in the upstroke but does not drag across your work in the downstroke.

Release the bevel lock lever (10) until the base can be moved. Slide base forward slightly to release the base from the tab on the motor housing. Align the mark on the base of the desired angle with the edge of the motor housing. Once the desired angle is reached, slide the base back until the tab on the motor housing aligns with the appropriate notch on the rear of the base. Push the bevel lock lever back to secure the base.

Higher settings (H) should be used when fast cutting in soft material. Lower (L) settings should be used when cutting materials with more resistance.

Loosen the base retaining screws with the wrench (supplied) until the base can be moved. Slide base forward slightly to release the base from the tab on the motor housing. Align the mark on the base of the desired angle with the edge of the motor housing. Once the desired angle is reached, slide the base back until the tab on the motor housing aligns with the appropriate notch on the rear of the base. Re-tighten the base retaining screws with the wrench (supplied) to secure the base. WARNING To avoid loss of control, broken blades, or damage to the material being cut, always use extreme caution when making plunge cuts. We do not recommend plunge cutting on materials other than wood. A straight cut can be made by clamping a piece of wood or straightedge to the workpiece and guiding the edge of your saw against it. Make the cut from one direction only, do not cut halfway to complete the cut from the opposite end. SCROLL CUTTING (Fig. 6) Scroll cuts can be made with your saw by guiding the direction of the cut with applied pressure on the handle.

WARNING Excessive side pressure to the blade could result in broken blades or damage to the material being cut.

ANGLE CUTTING (Bevel Cutting) (Fig. 7)

Bevel cutting angles may be adjusted from 0° to 45° right or left. Angles for cuts from 0° to 45° in 15° increments are marked on a scale on both the left and right side of the base.

The use of a protractor is recommended when accurate cuts are required.

Mark the line of cut clearly on the workpiece. Set the cutting angle at 0°. Tilt your saw forward so that it rests on the front edge of the base and blade will not come in contact with the workpiece when the saw is turned on. Make sure the blade is inside the area to be cut. Start your saw by using high speed and slowly lower the blade into the workpiece until the blade cuts through the wood. Continue lowering the blade into the workpiece until the base rests flat on the work surface, then move the saw forward to complete the cut. Use only the 7 teeth per inch blade for this type of cut. 22/01/06 EJS-500-600QEO_20 lgs

English WARNING Failure to unplug your saw could result in accidental starting causing possible serious injury. Many kinds of metals can be cut with your saw. Be careful not to twist or bend the blades. Do not force. If the blade chatters or vibrates excessively, use a finertooth blade or higher speed. If blade heats excessively, use lower speed. If blade teeth become filled or clogged when cutting soft metals, such as aluminum, use a coarser-tooth blade or lower speed. We recommend the use of oil when cutting metals to keep blades cool, increase cutting action, and prolong blade life. Clamp the work firmly and cut close to the clamping point to eliminate any vibration of the workpiece being cut. OPTIONAL EDGE GUIDE (Fig. 10) An edge guide is available for use with your saw. It can be used for making crosscuts and rip cuts. TO INSTALL:

MAINTENANCE GENERAL DUSTLESS FEATURE (Fig. 9) All other parts represent an important part of the class II insulation system and should be serviced only by a qualified service technician. For dustless operation, a dust port has been provided with your saw. It attaches to the saw base. Avoid using solvents when cleaning plastic parts. Most plastics are susceptible to damage from various types of commercial solvents. Use clean cloths to remove dirt, carbon dust, etc. This allows the air to flow out around the blade blowing sawdust and chips away from the operators view of the line of cut. TO INSTALL: WARNING Do not at any time let brake fluids, gasoline, petroleum-based products, penetrating oils, etc. come in contact with plastic parts. They contain chemicals that can damage, weaken or destroy plastic. Unplug your saw. WARNING Failure to unplug your saw could result in accidental starting causing possible serious injury.

Attach the dust port to the back of the base. You can hear a click sound when it is locked securely. Connect exhaust opening to dust collection system. It has been found that electric tools are subject to accelerated wear and possible premature failure when they are used on fiberglass boats, sports cars, wallboard or plaster. TO REMOVE:

Insert arm of the edge guide through the two slots in the base of your saw. Adjust edge guide (14) to the desired width and lock in place with the edge guide screw (15). WARNING When servicing, use only identical replacement parts. Use of any other part may create a hazard or cause product damage. IMPORTANT When cutting metal, keep exposed portion of saw bar clean and free of metal chips by wiping frequently with an oily cloth. Use extreme caution in disposing of oily cloth after completion of job to prevent potential fire hazard.

Unplug your saw. WARNING Failure to unplug your saw could result in accidental starting causing possible serious injury. When cutting conduit, pipe or angle iron, clamp work in a vise if possible and saw close to the vise. To cut thin sheet materials, "sandwich" the material between hardboard or plywood and clamp the layers to eliminate vibration and material tearing. By doing this, the material will be cut smoothly. Lay out your pattern or line of cut on top of the "sandwich".

Directly pull the dust port out. Unplug your saw.
