FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
CAUTION:
Always be sure that the tool is switched off and

unplugged before adjusting or checking function
on the tool.
Adjusting the shoe
Fig.1
Fig.2
When the blade loses its cutting efficiency in one place
along its cutting edge, reposition the shoe to utilize a
sharp, unused portion of its cutting edge. This will help
to lengthen the life of the blade. To reposition the shoe,
push the shoe button in the "A" direction with a click and
reposition as shown in the figure which allows you to
make five-way adjustment. To secure the shoe, push
the shoe button in the "B" direction with a click.

Installing or removing the saw blade
CAUTION:
Always clean out all chips or foreign matter
•
adhering to the blade, blade clamp and/or slider.
Failure to do so may cause insufficient tightening
of the blade, resulting in a serious injury.
To install the saw blade, always make sure that the
blade clamp lever is in released position
insulation cover before inserting the saw blade. If the
blade clamp lever is in fixed position, rotate the blade
clamp lever in the direction of the arrow so that it can be
locked at the released positon .

Insert the saw blade into the blade clamp as far as it will
go. The blade clamp lever rotates and the saw blade is
fixed. Make sure that the saw blade cannot be extracted
even though you try to pull it out.
Fig.5
NOTE:
If you do not insert the saw blade deep enough,
•
the saw blade may be ejected unexpectedly during
operation. This can be extremely dangerous.
If the lever is positioned inside the tool, switch on the
tool just a second to let the blade out as shown in the
figure.
Switch off and unplug the tool from the mains.
To remove the saw blade, rotate the blade clamp lever
in the direction of the arrow fully. The saw blade is
removed and the blade clamp lever is fixed at the
released position .
Fig.6
NOTE:
Keep hands and fingers away from the lever
•
during the switching operation. Failure to do so
may cause personal injuries.
If you remove the saw blade without rotating the
•
blade clamp lever fully, the lever may not be
locked in the released position . In this case,
rotate the blade clamp lever fully again, then make
sure that the blade clamp lever locked at the
released position .
OPERATION
Fig.7
CAUTION:
Always
•
workpiece during operation. If the shoe is removed
or held away from the workpiece during operation,
strong vibration and/or twisting will be produced,
causing the blade to snap dangerously.
Always wear gloves to protect your hands from hot
•
flying chips when cutting metal.
Be sure to always wear suitable eye protection
•
which conforms with current national standards.
Always use a suitable coolant (cutting oil) when
•
cutting metal. Failure to do so will cause
premature blade wear.
Press the shoe firmly against the workpiece. Do not
allow the tool to bounce. Bring the blade into light
contact with the workpiece. First, make a pilot groove
using a slower speed. Then use a faster speed to
continue cutting.
