Personal safety  
Safety instructions  
Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common  
sense when operating a power tool. Do not use a  
power tool while you are tired or under the influence  
of drugs, alcohol, or medication. A moment of  
inattention while operating power tools may result  
in serious personal injury.  
WARNING. Read and understand all instructions. Failure  
to follow all instructions listed below may result in electric  
shock, fire and/or serious injury. The term “power tool”  
in all of the warnings below refers to your mains-operated  
(corded) power tool or battery-operated (cordless)  
power tool.  
Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection.  
Safety equipment such as a dust mask, non-skid  
safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for  
appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.  
Avoid accidental starting. Ensure the switch is in the  
off-position before plugging in. Carrying power tools  
with your finger on the switch or plugging in power  
tools that have the switch on invites accidents.  
Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning  
the tool on. A wrench or a key that is left attached  
to a rotating part of the power tool may result in  
personal injury.  
Save these instructions  
Work area  
Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered and dark  
areas invite accidents.  
Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres,  
such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases, or  
dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the  
dust or fumes.  
Keep children and bystanders away while operating a  
power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.  
Electrical safety  
Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify  
the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs with  
earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodified plugs and  
matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.  
Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces  
such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There  
is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is  
earthed or grounded.  
Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at  
all times. This enables better control of the power tool  
in unexpected situations.  
Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery.  
Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from moving  
parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be  
caught in moving parts.  
If devices are provided for the connection of dust  
extraction and collection facilities ensure that these are  
connected and properly used. Use of these devices can  
reduce dust-related hazards.  
Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions.  
Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of  
electric shock.  
Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying,  
pulling or unplugging the power tool. Keep cord away  
from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged  
or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.  
When operating a power tool outdoors, use an  
outdoor extension cord suitable for outdoor use.  
Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the  
risk of electric shock.  
Power tool use and care  
Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power  
tool for your application. The correct power tool will do  
the job better and safer at the rate for which it was  
designed.  
Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn  
it on and off. Any power tool that cannot be controlled  
with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.

Disconnect the plug from the power source before  
making any adjustments, changing accessories, or  
storing power tools. Such preventive safety measures  
reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.  
Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and  
do not allow persons unfamiliar with the power tool  
or these instructions to operate the power tool. Power  
tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.  
Additional safety rules for saws  
Ensure that the lighting is adequate.  
Keep the area free of tripping hazards.  
Do not let anyone under 18 years operate this saw.  
Always stand to one side when operating the saw.  
Never use a cracked or distorted saw blade. Only use  
sharp blades.  
Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or  
binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any  
other condition that may affect the power tool’s  
operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired  
before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly  
maintained power tools.  
Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained  
cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to  
bind and are easier to control.  
Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc.,  
in accordance with these instructions and in the  
manner intended for the particular type of power  
tool, taking into account the working conditions and  
the work to be performed. Use of the power tool for  
operations different from intended could result in a  
hazardous situation.  
When cutting round wood, use clamps that prevent the  
work piece from turning on both sides of the blade.  
Never use your hands to remove sawdust, chips or waste  
close by the saw blade.  
Use only blades as recommended.  
Rags, cloths, cord, string and the like should never be  
left around the work area.  
Avoid cutting nails. Inspect the work piece and remove  
all nails and other foreign objects before beginning  
sawing.  
Support the work properly.  
Never reach over the blade to remove waste or off cuts.  
Do not attempt to free a jammed blade before first  
switching off themachine.  
Let the blade come to rest naturally.  
If you are interrupted when operating the saw, complete  
the process and switch off before looking up.  
Periodically check that all fixings are properly tightened.  
Always hold the saw on parts that are insulated. If you  
accidentally cut into hidden wiring or the saw’s own  
cable, the metal parts of the saw will become live.  
Service  
Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair  
personnel using only identical replacement parts.  
This will ensure that the safety of the power tool  
is maintained.  
Wear goggles  
Wear earmuffs  
Wear a breathing mask

You have purchased a 18V heavy duty saw capable of  
taking the effort out of many sawing tasks in both wood  
and metal. It is robust and extremely versatile.  
4. After normal use, 3 hours of charging time is required for  
the battery pack to be fully charged. However, 4–5 hours  
charging will ensure a longer run time of your tool.  
By changing between the three saw blades provided, it is  
possible to use the saw on a wide variety of materials and  
in many tasks around the home or workshop.  
5. Do not charge batteries for “top up. Batteries should  
be placed on charge only when the battery is noticeably  
running down or the tool no longer performs a task it  
previously performed.  
6. Unplug the adaptor charger and charging slide when not  
in use and store them in a dry, secure place.  
7. Do not charge your battery pack in temperatures below  
0°C or above 40°C.

and slide the battery backward  
out of the tool.  
To install the battery pack,  
9. Battery charging should only be carried out indoors.  
Warning. Never leave a battery on charge once it starts to  
warm up.  
align rails, on the tool with the  
tabs on the battery pack and  
slide the battery pack on to the saw. Ensure the battery  
pack is sitting straight on the foot and correctly entering  
the runners. The battery should slide fully on to the saw  
until the battery pack “clicks” into position.  
Do not charge the battery for more than 8 hours, as this  
will damage the battery cells.  
If two batteries are to be charged in succession, unplug  
the adaptor charger and let it cool down for about 15  
minutes before using it for the second battery.  
Warning. Consult your local waste authority for  
information regarding available recycling and/or disposal  
options of a damaged or worn out battery pack.  
Battery charging  
The battery pack for this tool has been shipped in a low  
charge condition. You should charge the battery pack fully  
before use.

1. Connect the adaptor charger (9) lead to the battery  
charger (7).  
2. Insert the battery charger (7) into the battery pack (6) and  
connect the adaptor charger (9) to a suitable power socket.  
3. The battery charge time is  
approx. 3–5 hours, after  
which the battery pack  
should be removed. A good  
indication for a fully charged  
battery is the temperature of  
the battery, which becomes  
fairly warm as the battery  
becomes fully charged.  
To obtain the best life for the battery  
Never allow the tool to come to a complete stand still  
before recharging. The battery should be placed on charge  
whenever the battery is noticeably running down or the

saw.  
Fitting a blade  
3.Position the hole in the blade over the retaining pin.  
4.Tighten the allen key by inserting the allen key and  
turning it clockwise to clamp the blade in position.  
5.Remove the blade protector.  
Note. Use only enough pressure to keep the saw cutting.  
Do not force the cutting; allow the blade and the saw to  
do the work.  
Warning. Use of excessive pressure that causes bending or  
twisting of the blade may cause the blade to break.  
Operation  
Switching on and off and controlling the speed.  
Warning. Make sure that the blade does not touch the  
work piece until the blade has reached maximum speed  
since this could cause loss of control and serious injury.  
1.The multisaw has a variable speed trigger switch, the  
harder it is squeezed the  
faster the saw will operate.  
2. This gives the operator  
better control when  
starting a cut and at break  
through, and enables the  
speed of cutting to be  
varied according to the  
circumstances.  
Metal cutting  
(200 mm blade)  
Metals such as sheet steel,  
pipe, aluminium, brass and  
copper can be cut with your  
saw. Be careful not to bend  
or twist the blade and do not  
force the cutting action.

We recommend that you use cutting oil to lubricate the cut  
when sawing soft metals and steel. It keeps the blade  
cooler and prolongs blade life.  
Caution. Clamp the work firmly and cut close to the  
clamping point to minimise vibration. When cutting  
conduit pipe or angle iron, clamp the work in a vice if  
possible and cut close to the vice. To cut thin sheet metal,  
sandwich the sheet between hardboard or plywood and  
clamp the layers to prevent vibration and the tearing of  
the metal.  
Maintenance  
Cleaning  
1. Keep the tool’s air vents unclogged and clean at  
all times.  
2. Remove dust and dirt regularly. Cleaning is best done  
with compressed air or a rag.  
3. Re-lubricate all moving parts at regular intervals.  
4. Never use caustic agents to clean plastic parts.  
Caution. Do not use cleaning agents to clean the plastic  
parts of the saw. A mild detergent on a damp cloth is  
recommended. Water must never come into contact with  
the saw.  
General inspection  
Regularly check that all the fixing screws are tight. They  
may vibrate loose over time.
