Air supply connection
• This tool should be connected to a clean, dry air supply with inline oiler
and water separator
• Do not allow supply pressure to exceed the maximum stated (see
“Specifications”)
• Ensure that water is drained from air system daily
• Ensure that all parts of the system (hoses, couplers, etc.) are correctly
rated for the air pressure to be used
Setting tool power
• The maximum tool speed/power can be adjusted by reducing/increasing
the air supply pressure within the range specified in ‘Specifications’
• The Pressure Limiter (2) can be adjusted with a screwdriver to limit the
maximum reciprocating speed when the Speed Control Trigger (10) is
fully depressed
• Whilst working with the tool, speed adjustments can be made via the
speed control trigger
Operation
WARNING: This tool will be dangerous if there is insufficient air pressure
and the reciprocating action unexpectedly slows or stops while operating.
WARNING: This tool will create sharp edges and swarf material during use
and the operating temperature of the blade and workpiece may be too hot
to touch.
WARNING: Do not operate this tool if the Safety Catch (9) is not operating
correctly.
1. Hold the tool by its Handle (3) so that the teeth of the Blade (6) are
facing away from you
2. The Speed Control Trigger (10) should sit under your fingers
3. Your thumb should wrap around the body/handle and your fingers
should sit on the speed control with the Safety Catch (9) between
middle and index finger
4. WITHOUT applying any pressure to the speed control slide the safety
catch towards the blade
5. You will feel the speed control trigger move in towards the body/
handle slightly as the safety catch releases
6. GENTLY squeeze the speed control in towards the handle
7. The blade will reciprocate. Squeeze the speed control further to
increase the speed; release to decrease the speed
8. Before starting to cut, make sure the Blade Guide (5) is firmly held
against the workpiece
9. When you have finished cutting, release the speed control and allow
the safety catch to engage
Note: DO NOT allow the saw to run in ‘idle rotation’ for an extended period
of time. This will shorten its life.
WARNING: Be aware that air tools may hold residual pressure after use.
Always bleed air pressure from the tool after shutting off air supply.
Accessories
• Accessories, including spare blades (product code 633549 - pack of 5),
for this tool are available from your Silverline stockist. Spare parts can be
obtained from your Silverline dealer or www.toolsparesonline.com
Maintenance
WARNING: Always disconnect from the air supply and depressurise before
cleaning or carrying out any maintenance.
Cleaning
• Keep your tool clean at all times. Dirt and dust will cause internal parts
to wear quickly, and shorten the machine’s service life. Clean the body of
your machine with a soft brush, or dry cloth
IMPORTANT: There is very little that can go wrong with your air tool and it
should be noted that when an air tool fails to work it is generally because
the internal workings have corroded due to dirty, wet air and failure to
follow the instructions given below.
Daily maintenance procedure: Disconnect from the air supply, pour the
equivalent of a tablespoon of oil into the air intake. Operate the machine at
low speed to thoroughly lubricate all internal workings.
• If the machine is in constant use or used for long periods at a time, a
combined filter/lubricator must be fitted. There must be an air filter fitted
at all times
• Use air tool oil. DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES USE NORMAL
ENGINE OIL
• Failure to comply with the operating and maintenance instructions may
invalidate the guarantee
Storage
• Store this tool carefully in a secure, dry place out of the reach of children
Disposal
• As with other power tools, air tools should not be disposed of with
household waste
• Air tools may contain traces of tool oil and other lubricants and so must
be recycled accordingly
• Contact your local waste disposal authority for information on the correct
way to dispose of power tools
