maximum and run no Load for 2-3 minutes to
cool the motor. Avoid prolonged usage at very
low speeds.
GENERAL
Always use a blade suited to the material and
material thickness to be cut. Always ensure
the work–piece is firmly held or clamped to
prevent movement. For easier control, use low
speed to start cutting, then increase to correct
speed.
Any movement of the material may affect
the quality of the cut. The blade cuts on the
upward stroke and may chip the uppermost.
Ensure your uppermost surface is a non-
visible surface when your work is finished.
CUTTING LAMINATES
Use a fine tooth blade when cutting most
laminates and thin wood materials. To reduce
edge chipping, clamp pieces of waste wood at
both ends on both sides and cut through the
wood during cutting.
CIRCLE CUTTING
12
Do not use the pendulum action when cutting
tight circles or angles.
PLUNGE SAWING (See Fig. I,J)
Plunge cutting may be used only on soft
materials such as wood, aerated concrete,
gypsum plaster boards, etc.!
Use only short saw blades.
Place the front edge of the base plate on the
workpiece and switch on. Press the machine
firmly against the workpiece and plunge the
saw blade slowly into the workpiece.
As soon as the complete surface of the base
plate rests on the work piece, continue to saw
along the cutting line.
METAL CUTTING
Use a finer tooth blade for ferrous metals and
a coarse tooth blade for non-ferrous metals.
When cutting thin sheet metals, always clamp
wood on both sides of the sheet to reduce
vibration or tearing of the sheet metal. Both
wood and sheet metal must be cut. Do not
force the cutting blade when cutting thin metal
or sheet steel, as they are harder materials

and will take longer to cut. Excessive blade
force may reduce the life of the blade or
damage the motor. To reduce heat during
metal cutting, add a little lubricant along the
cutting line.
MAINTENANCE
Remove the plug from the socket before
carrying out any adjustment, servicing or
maintenance.
Your power tool requires no additional
lubrication or maintenance. There are no
user serviceable parts in your power tool.
Never use water or chemical cleaners to
clean your power tool. Wipe clean with a dry
cloth. Always store your power tool in a dry
place. Keep the motor ventilation slots clean.
Keep all working controls free of dust. If you
see some sparks flashing in the ventilation
slots, this is normal and will not damage your
power tool.
If the supply cord is damaged, it must be
replaced by the manufacturer, its service
agent or similarly qualified persons in order to
avoid a hazard.
ENVIRONMENTAL
PROTECTION
Waste electrical products should not
be disposed of with household waste.
Please recycle where facilities exist.
Check with your local authorities or retailer for
