Instruction manual

6.2 Operation

Before attempting to operate the tool, please ensure that the safety section of this manual has been consulted.

• Apply protective gear for hearing, breathing, eyes and body as appropriate.

• With the blades secured and verifying that the tool switch is OFF, plug the tool into the power socket.

• Hold the tool by both the top handle and the motor housing, in a way which is most comfortable to do the

work. (Fig.5 & 6)

• To start the cut, hold the tool firmly in your hands and apply the middle of the blade cutting edge to the work,

keeping in mind that the direction of cut is towards the rear of the blades.

• While cutting, move the tool and blade in a slow "sawing" motion, which improves the cut rate, reduces

concentrated heat build-up and evens the wear on the blades. (See fig.8 & 9)

CAUTION: DO NOT OVERLOAD THE MOTOR.

CAUTION: Do not block the cooling intake vents or ingest

dust or debris at the rear of the motor as this may cause the

motor to overheat. If working in dusty conditions, it is

recommended that the vents be regularly cleaned with an

air blast. (See fig.7)
