Operating instructions
WARNING
Make sure the saw blade does not touch the workpiece until
motor reaches full speed, since this can cause loss of control
resulting in serious injury.
General cutting
[F3]
1. Hold the device firmly and clearly away from your body.
2. Make sure saw blade is clear of any foreign material and that
power cord and extension cord are out of the path of the blade.
3. Be sure material to be cut is held firmly. Small workpieces
should be securely clamped in a vise or with clamps to the work
bench or table.
4. Mark the line of cut clearly.
5. Switch on the device.
6. Set the soleplate (3) against the workpiece, then guide the
tool along the cutting line.
ATTENTION
Do not force the tool. Use only enough pressure to keep the
device cutting. Let the saw blade do the work.
Metal cutting
[F4]
Metals such as sheet steel, pipe, steel rods, aluminum, brass and
copper may be cut with this device.
WARNING
Always wear gloves to protect your hands from hot flying
chips when cutting metal.
1. Clamp the workpiece firmly and cut close to the clamping
point to eliminate any vibration of the material being cut.
2. When cutting conduit pipe or angle iron, clamp work in a
vise if possible and cut close to the vise.
3. To cut thin sheet material, "sandwich" the material between
hardboard or plywood and clamp the layers to eliminate
vibration and material tearing.
It's recommend to use a suitable coolant (cutting oil) when
cutting most soft metals and steel. Cutting oil will also keep
blades cool, increasing cutting action, and prolonging blade
life.
Plunge cutting
[F5]
1. Mark the line of cut clearly.
2. Choose a convenient starting point inside the area to be cut
out and place the tip of the saw blade over that point.
3. Rest the front edge of soleplate (3) on workpiece and hold
firmly in position.
4. Switch on the device.
5. With saw blade running at full cutting speed, slowly tilt the
mini saw downward until the tip of the saw blade starts cutting
the workpiece.
6. After the saw blade has penetrated workpiece, raise the
handle of the tool slowly until the soleplate (3) rests firmly on
the workpiece.
7. Then guide the tool along the cutting line to acquire the
desired cut.
ATTENTION
Do not force the tool! Be careful not to twist or bend the saw
blade.
