1. Rotate the Blade Release (4) anticlockwise (Fig. III (a)), then insert
the Blade shank as far as it will go into the Blade Holder (3) (Fig.
III (b))
2. Release the Blade Release
3. Pull the Blade to ensure it is secure. If it is not locked firmly in
place repeat the above procedure
4. To remove a Blade from the Blade Holder, rotate the Blade
Release anticlockwise, and pull the Blade out of the Blade Holder
Adjusting the shoe
The Shoe (2) pivots to allow adjustment to the angle of the tool in relation
to the workpiece. The Shoe is held in place by tension on the pivot point. To
adjust the angle of the shoe:
1. Apply pressure to the top of the shoe in a forward or
backward direction (Fig. IV)
Operation
WARNING: Always use adequate protective equipment, including eye
protection, respiratory and hearing protection, as well as suitable gloves,
when working with this tool.
WARNING: NEVER attempt to cut with a saw blade fitted that is not
suitable for the material. Be aware that the material may contain foreign
objects such as nails or screws.
WARNING: NEVER use blunt or otherwise damaged saw blades.
WARNING: ALWAYS ensure the workpiece is secure before cutting.
Switching ON & OFF
1. Hold the tool securely with both hands by the Main Handle
(9) and Secondary Handle (5)
2. Ensure the tool is not in contact with the workpiece before
switching ON
3. Press and hold the Trigger Lock Button (7)
4. Squeeze the ON/OFF Trigger Switch (8) to start the tool
Note: the speed of the blade can be regulated by adjusting
the pressure applied to the ON/OFF Trigger Switch (variable
speed trigger)
5. Release the Trigger Lock Button
6. Release the ON/OFF Trigger Switch to stop the tool
WARNING: ALWAYS remove the saw blade from the cut before
switching the tool OFF.
WARNING: Always wait until the saw blade has stopped moving
completely before putting the tool down.
WARNING: Remove the Battery (11) and Blade (1) when not in use
Making general cuts
WARNING: Use ONLY enough pressure to keep the saw cutting.
NEVER force the saw Blade; allow the Blade and the saw to do the work.
Use of excessive pressure that causes bending or twisting of the Blade may
cause the Blade to break.
WARNING: When cutting pipe or large workpieces, ensure the Blade
capacity is greater than the size of the workpiece. Failure to do so will result
in kickback causing possible injury and damage to the tool (Fig. V).
1. Carry out the necessary checks and procedures described in
the 'Before Use' section of the manual
2. Mark out the cutting line
3. Ensure that the material to be cut is secure. Small
workpieces should be held in a vice or clamped to the
workbench
4. Hold the tool securely with both hands by the Main Handle
(9) and Secondary Handle (5), ensuring you always have full
control
5. Ensure the Blade (1) is clear of any obstruction
6. Switch the tool ON and allow to reach full speed
7. Place the Shoe (2) of the tool on the workpiece and guide
the Blade along the cutting line
Making plunge cuts
WARNING: Plunge cutting is an advanced technique with higher risk.
Only attempt plunge cuts when you are competent and experienced with
this technique. These instructions are given as a guide only.
WARNING: ONLY attempt the plunge cutting procedure in soft
materials such as wood, plasterboard and similar materials. DO NOT
attempt plunge cuts in metal or hard materials. ONLY use blades specifically
designed for plunge cutting. If in doubt, refer to the blade manufacturer's
instructions.
WARNING: Inspect both sides of the surface you are planning on
plunge cutting into. Ensure there are no foreign objects on the underneath,
or objects that could be damaged. Be aware of hidden pipework and cables
when plunge cutting into drywalls, ceilings or floorboards. If pipes or cables
may be present, switch OFF all electrical circuit breakers and shut off water
and gas supplies at the relevant mains valves.
WARNING: Blindly plunge cutting into walls, floors and ceilings may
lead to serious injury and substantial property damage.
1. Mark out the cutting line
2. Position the saw on the workpiece (Fig. VI)
3. Place the tip of the Blade over the cutting line
4. Hold the tool securely with both hands by the Main Handle
(9) and Secondary Handle (5), ensuring you always have full
control
5. Switch the tool ON
6. For the initial cut, run the blade at a slow speed by
adjusting the pressure applied to the ON/OFF Trigger Switch
(8)
7. Pivot the saw on the Shoe (2) until the Blade contacts the
workpiece (Fig. VII)
8. Once a grove is established the tool can be run at full speed
9. Continue to pivot slowly, until the Blade has fully
penetrated the thickness of the workpiece
10. Once the face of the Shoe is flat against the workpiece
proceed with general cutting operations (Fig. VIII)
Metal cutting tips
Note: This saw is capable of cutting metals, such as sheet steel, pipe, steel
rods, aluminium, brass and copper.
• ALWAYS use a Blade specified for cutting metal
• Be careful not to bend or twist the Blade and do not force
the cutting action
• ALWAYS use a suitable cutting fluid when sawing soft
metals and steel. This keeps the Blade cooler, prolongs
Blade life and makes cutting more efficient
• Clamp the workpiece firmly and cut close to the clamping
point to minimise vibration
• When cutting conduit pipe or angle iron, clamp the
workpiece in a vice if possible and cut close to the vice
