as those dust masks that are specially designed to filter
out microscopic particles.
Wear protective clothing and wash exposed areas
•
with soap and water. Allowing dust to get into your
mouth, eyes, or lay on the skin may promote absorption of
harmful chemicals. Direct particles away from face and body.
Use the appropriate dust extractor vacuum to remove
•
the vast majority of static and airborne dust. Failure
to remove static and airborne dust could contaminate the
working environment or pose an increased health risk to
the operator and those in close proximity.
Use clamps or other practical ways 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 and injury.
Air vents often cover moving parts and should be
•
avoided. Loose clothes, jewelry or long hair can be caught
in moving parts.
An extension cord must have adequate wire size
•
(AWG or American Wire Gauge) for safety. The smaller
the gauge number of the wire, the greater the capacity
of the cable, that is, 16 gauge has more capacity than
18 gauge. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line
voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating. When
using more than one extension to make up the total length,
be sure each individual extension contains at least the
minimum wire size. The following table shows the correct
size to use depending on cord length and nameplate
ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. The
lower the gauge number, the heavier the cord.

Be sure your power supply agrees with the nameplate
marking. Voltage decrease of more than 10% will cause loss
of power and overheating. These tools are factory tested; if
this tool does not operate, check power supply.

ASSEMBLY AND ADJUSTMENTS


WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal
injury, turn unit off and disconnect it from
power source before making any adjustments or
removing/installing attachments or accessories.
An accidental start‑up can cause injury.
Blade Installation and Removal
Blade Clamp Release Lever (Fig. B)
To install Blade into saw
1. Pull blade clamp release lever
2. Insert blade shank from the front.
3. Push blade clamp release lever down.
To Remove Blade from saw

CAUTION: Burn hazard. Do not touch the blade
immediately after use. Contact with the blade may
result in personal injury.
1. Open up blade clamp release lever.
2. Remove blade.
OPERATION

WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal
injury, turn unit off and disconnect it from

WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal
injury, ALWAYS hold securely in anticipation of a
sudden reaction.
Proper hand position requires one hand on the hand grip
with the other hand on the main handle
Variable Speed Trigger Switch (Fig. A)
The variable speed trigger switch
versatility. The further the trigger is depressed the higher the
speed of the saw.

CAUTION: Use of very slow speed is recommended
only for beginning a cut. Prolonged use at very slow
speed may damage your saw.
