HOW TO USE THE TOOL
Effective control of this powerful saw requires
two- handed operation for maximum protection.
Support the work properly and to hold the saw
firmly WITH BOTH HANDS to
prevent loss of control which could cause personal
injury. Always hold the side handle with the left
hand and the rear handle with the right hand for
proper hand support of the saw. Protect your eyes
from injury with safety glasses or goggles.
Do not use cutting fluids or lubricants on the blade.

CLAMP THE WORK PIECE
Secure the work piece properly. The work piece
should be straight and firmly clamped to avoid
possible
movement and pinching as the cut nears
completion. Provide adequate support for long or
wide work pieces. Confirm that the blade has come
to a complete stop before removing or securing the
work piece, or changing the work piece angle. Press
the safety, then the trigger switch. Move the saw
forward to contact the work piece. Clamp the work
piece on a rigid support, such as a bench or saw
horses. Mark the line of cut on the work piece. Be
sure that the cutoff line is far enough on the work
piece to allow proper operation of the telescoping
guard. Place the front edge of the saw squarely on
work piece before starting the motor. Sight the
cutting line with the sighting notch indicator or
use the rip fence. Be certain that the blade is not
contacting the work piece. Press the safety, then the
trigger switch, allow the motor to come up to full
speed and move the saw forward to begin the cut.
CAUTION: Keep the cord away from cutting area to
prevent it from becoming entangled in the work
piece.
Do not force the cut. Let the saw do the cutting at
the rate of speed permitted by the type of cut and
work piece. Increase feed pressure as the blade
cuts through the thicker cross-sections (to maintain
minimum "sparking"). Decrease the feed pressure as
the blade cuts through the thinner cross sections
(to maintain motor speed and avoid overloading
the machine). After completing the cut, release the
power switch and wait for the coasting blade to
stop completely before putting the saw down.

13. MAINTENANCE
13.1. KEEP TOOL CLEAN
Periodically blow out all air passages with dry
compressed air. All plastic parts should be cleaned
with a soft damp cloth. NEVER use solvents to
clean plastic parts. They could possibly dissolve or
otherwise damage the material. Wear safety glasses
while using compressed air.
13.2. THE CARBON BRUSHES
The carbon brushes are a normal wearing part and
must be replaced when they reach their wear limit.
See fig. 10.
To replace: simply remove the brush caps and
withdraw the old brushes. Replace with new
brushes (always replace as a pair) ensuring that
they align properly and slide freely. Then replace the
brush caps. See fig. 11.
13.3. WARNING
Make sure that the tool is turned off and not
connected to a power source before you perform
maintenance and/or examine the tool. For safety
reasons and in order to ensure proper functioning
of the device, repairs, maintenance and adjustment
of the tool must be performed by a certified service
center. Use only original spare parts.
If the replacement of the power supply cord is
necessary, this has to be done by the manufacturer
or their agent in order to avoid a safety hazard.
