OPERATION
TIPS BEFORE YOU START TO WORK
• The pivoting guide shoe (item#2) is pivoted so that the saw can be raised gradually to position perpendicularly to the work while the saw moving.
• Be sure the material to be cut is rigid. Securely clamp small work pieces in bench vise or with clamps to the work table.
• Place slight pressure on the saw to cut freely, forcing the saw will not make it cut faster.
STARTING AND STOPPING SAW
•
Before use, make sure that power circuit voltage is the same as shown on the label on the saw. (110-120 VAC – 50-60 Hz)
•
Hold the saw firmly. Squeeze or release trigger switch to start or stop motor respectively.
VARIABLE SPEED
•
Use the variable speed control to acquire different speed of the saw blade.
•
The lower speeds are recommended for most metal cutting, while the higher speeds are recommended for wood.
CHANGING THE BLADE
• Be sure the tool is unplugged.
• Loosen the blade lock screw with the 4mm hexagon key.
• When changing the saw blade, make sure that the blade holder is free of material residue (e.g. wood or metal shavings)
• Insert the saw blade between the stroke rod and the clamping plate.
• Take care that the securing pin of the stroke rod engages in the hole of the saw blade. (Saw blade cannot be pulled out).
• Retighten the blade lock screw.
• Before plugging the saw into the wall outlet, double check to be sure the saw blade is secure.
MAINTENANCE AND INSPECTION
• Blow out all passages periodically with dry compressed air to maintain the tool. Use soft damp cloth to clean. Never use solvents to clean plastic
parts. Solvents could possibly dissolve and damage the material
• Regularly inspect all mountings and screws and ensure they are properly tightened. Should any of the screws be loose, tighten them immediately.
Failure to do so may result in serious damage, injury or even death.
CHANGING THE CARBON BRUSHES
There are 2 brush caps (item# 44) on top of the unit near the handle, and under the unit near the handle. Simply unscrew the brush caps,
carefully pull the old carbon brush, complete with spring, out of the unit and slide the new carbon brush into the unit, being sure to replace the
brush caps when you are done. Brushes MUST be changed in pairs. Do not overtighten the brush caps.
