Power supply
The tool should be connected only to a power supply of
the same voltage as indicated on the nameplate, and can
only be operated on single-phase AC supply. They are
double-insulated in accordance with European Standard
and can, therefore, also be used from sockets without
earth wire.

For your own safety, please refer to the enclosed safety
instructions.
ADDITIONAL SAFETY RULES
1. Avoid cutting nails. Inspect for and remove all
nails from the workpiece before operation.
2. Do not cut hollow pipe.
3. Do not cut oversize workpiece.
4. Check for the proper clearance beneath the
workpiece before cutting so that the blade will
not strike the floor, workbench, etc.
5. Hold the tool firmly.
6. Make sure the blade is not contacting the work-
piece before the switch is turned on.
7. Keep hands away from moving parts.
8. When cutting through walls, floors or wherever
"live" electrical wires may be encountered, DO
NOT TOUCH ANY METAL PARTS OF THE TOOL!
Hold the tool only by the insulated grasping sur-
faces to prevent electric shock if you cut through
a "live" wire.
9. Do not leave the tool running. Operate the tool
only when hand-held.
10. Always switch off and wait for the blade to come
to a complete stop before removing the blade
from the workpiece.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Installing or removing saw blade (Fig. 1 & 2)
CAUTION:
• Always be sure that the tool is switched off and
unplugged before installing or removing the blade.
• Always clean out all chips or foreign matter adhering to
the blade and/or blade holder. Failure to do so may
cause insufficient tightening of the blade, resulting in a
serious injury.
To install the blade, loosen the bolt on the blade holder
with the hex wrench. With the blade teeth facing forward,
insert the blade into the blade holder as far as it will go.
Make sure that the back edge of the blade fits into the
roller. Then tighten the bolt to secure the blade.
To remove the blade, follow the installation procedures in
reverse.
NOTE:
Occasionally lubricate the roller.
Hex wrench storage (Fig. 3)
When not in use, the hex wrench can be conveniently
stored as shown in Fig. 3.
Dust cover (Fig. 4)
CAUTION:
Always wear safety goggles even when operating the tool
with the dust cover lowered.
Lower the dust cover to prevent chips from flying. How-
ever, when making bevel cuts, raise it all the way.
Switch action (Fig. 5)
CAUTION:
Before plugging in the tooltool, always check to see that
the switch trigger actuates properly and returns to the
"OFF" position when released.
To start the tool, simply pull the trigger. Release the trig-
ger to stop. For continuous operation, pull the trigger and
then push in the lock button. To stop the tool from the
