8. Dress properly.  
16. Remove adjusting keys and wrenches.  
Form the habit of checking to see that keys  
and adjusting wrenches are removed from  
the tool before turning it on.  
Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery, they  
can be caught in moving parts. Rubber  
gloves and non-skid footwear are recom-  
mended when working outdoors. Wear pro-  
tecting hair covering to contain long hair.  
9. Use safety glasses and hearing protec-  
tion.  
17. Avoid unintentional starting.  
Do not carry a plugged-in tool with a finger on  
the switch. Ensure switch is off when plug-  
ging in.  
Also use face or dust mask if the cutting  
operation is dusty.  
18. Use outdoor extension leads.  
When tool is used outdoors, use only exten-  
sion cords intended for outdoor use.  
19. Stay alert.  
10. Connect dust extraction equipment.  
If devices are provided for the connection of  
dust extraction and collection facilities ensure  
these are connected and properly used.  
11. Do not abuse the cord.  
Watch what you are doing. Use common  
sense. Do not operate tool when you are  
tired.  
Never carry the tool by the cord or yank it to  
disconnect it from the socket. Keep the cord  
away from heat, oil and sharp edges.  
12. Secure work.  
20. Check damaged parts.  
Before further use of the tool, a guard or  
other part that is damaged should be care-  
fully checked to determine that it will operate  
properly and perform its intended function.  
Check for alignment of moving parts, free  
running of moving parts, breakage of parts,  
mounting and any other conditions that may  
affect its operation. A guard or other part that  
is damaged should be properly repaired or  
replaced by an authorized service center  
unless otherwise indicated in this instruction  
manual. Have defective switches replaced by  
an authorized service facility. Do not use the  
tool if the switch does not turn it on and off.  
21. Warning.  
Use clamps or a vice to hold the work. It is  
safer than using your hand and it frees both  
hands to operate the tool.  
13. Do not overreach.  
Keep proper footing and balance at all times.  
14. Maintain tools with care.  
Keep cutting tools sharp and clean for better  
and safer performance. Follow instructions  
for lubrication and changing accessories.  
Inspect tool cord periodically and if damaged  
have it repaired by an authorized service  
facility. Inspect extension cords periodically  
and replace, if damaged. Keep handles dry,  
clean and free from oil and grease.  
15. Disconnect tools.  
The use of any accessory or attachment,  
other than those recommended in this  
instruction manual or the catalog, may  
present a risk of personal injury.  
When not in use, before servicing and when  
changing accessories such as blades, bits  
and cutters.  
22. Have your tool repaired by a qualified per-  
son.  
This electric tool is in accordance with the rel-  
evant safety requirements. Repairs should  
only be carried out by qualified persons using  
original spare parts, otherwise this may result  
in considerable danger to the user.

1. Wear hearing protection.  
shall be rested on the larger portion and  
the smaller piece cut off.  
2. Keep Guards In Place and In Working  
Order.  
Never wedge or tie lower guard open.  
Check operation of lower guard before  
each use.  
Don’t use if lower guard does not close  
briskly over saw blade.  
CAUTION: If saw is dropped, lower guard  
may be bent, restricting full return.  
Fig. 1  
To avoid kickback, do support board or panel  
near the cut.  
3. Do not use blades which are deformed or  
cracked.  
4. Do not use blades made of high speed  
steel.  
5. Do not stop the blades by lateral pressure  
on the saw blade.  
6. Keep Blades Clean and Sharp.  
Sharp blades minimize stalling and kick-  
back.  
7. DANGER:  
Fig. 2  
Keep Hands Away From Cutting Area.  
Keep hands away from blades. Don’t  
reach underneath work while blade is  
rotating. Don’t attempt to remove cut  
material when blade is moving.  
Do not support board or panel away from the cut.  
9. Use Rip Fence.  
Always use a fence or straight edge guide  
when ripping.  
CAUTION: Blades coast after turn off.  
10. Guard Against Kickback. (Fig. 1 & 3)  
Kickback occurs when the saw stalls rap-  
idly and is driven back towards the opera-  
tor. Release switch immediately if blade  
binds or saw stalls. Keep blades sharp.  
Support large panels as shown in Fig. 1.  
Use fence or straight edge guide when  
ripping.  
8. Support Large Panels (Fig. 1 & 2).  
Large panels must be supported as  
shown in Fig. 1 to minimize the risk of  
blade pinching and kickback.  
When cutting operation requires the rest-  
ing of the saw on the workpiece, the saw  
Don’t force tool. Stay alert-exercise con-  
trol. Don’t remove saw from work during a  
cut while the blade is moving.  
NEVER place your hand or fingers behind  
the saw. If kickback occurs, the saw could

personal injury. Fig. 4 illustrates typical  
hand support of the saw.

A typical illustration of proper hand support,  
workpiece support, and supply cord routing.  
11. Lower guard should be retracted manu-  
ally only for special cuts such as “Com-  
pound Cuts”. Raise lower guard by  
Retracting Lever. As soon as blade enters  
the material, lower guard must be  
released. For all other sawing, the lower  
guard should operate automatically.  
16. Place the wider portion of the saw base on  
that part of the workpiece which is solidly  
supported, not on the section that will fall  
off when the cut is made.  
As example, Fig. 5 illustrates the RIGHT  
way to cut off the end of a board, and Fig.  
6 the WRONG way. If the workpiece is  
short or small, clamp it down. DON’T TRY  
TO HOLD SHORT PIECES BY HAND! (Fig.  
6)  
12. Adjustments.  
Before cutting be sure depth and bevel  
adjustments are tight.  
13. Use Only Correct Blades In Mounting.  
Don’t use blades with incorrect size holes.  
Never use defective or incorrect blade  
washers or bolts.  
14. Avoid Cutting Nails.  
Inspect for and remove all nails from lum-  
ber before cutting.  
15. When operating the saw, keep the cord  
away from the cutting area and position it  
so that it will not be caught on the work-  
piece during the cutting operation. Oper-  
ate with proper hand support, proper  
workpiece support, and supply cord rout-  
ing away from the work area.

blade are suitable for the tool.  
Ensure that the saw blade is suitable  
for the spindle speed of the tool.

FUNCTIONAL  
DESCRIPTION  
CAUTION:  
Always be sure that the tool is switched off and  
unplugged before adjusting or checking function on the  
tool.  
Adjusting depth of cut  
CAUTION:  
After adjusting the depth of cut, always tighten the  
clamping screws securely.  
004027  
Loosen the clamping screw on the depth guide and move the  
base up or down. At the desired depth of cut, secure the  
base by tightening the clamping screw.  
For cleaner, safer cuts, set cut depth so that no more than  
one blade tooth projects below workpiece. Using proper cut  
depth helps to reduce potential for dangerous KICKBACKS  
which can cause personal injury.

The inner flange has a 20 mm diameter on one side and  
a 19 mm diameter on the other. The side with 19 mm  
diameter is marked by 19. Use the correct side for the  
hole diameter of the blade you intend to use. Mounting

OPERATION  
CAUTION:  
Be sure to move the tool forward in a straight line gently.  
Forcing or twisting the tool will result in overheating the  
motor and dangerous kickback, possibly causing severe  
injury.  
004036  
Hold the tool firmly. Set the base plate on the workpiece to  
be cut without the blade making any contact. Then turn the  
tool on and wait until the blade attains full speed. Now simply  
move the tool forward over the workpiece surface, keeping it  
flat and advancing slowly until the sawing is completed. To  
get clear cuts, keep your sawing line straight and your speed  
of advancing uniform.  
004037  
Rip fence (Guide rule)  
The handy rip fence allows you to do extra-accurate straight  
cuts. Simply slide the rip fence up snugly against the side of  
the workpiece and secure it in position with the screw on the  
front of the base. It also makes repeated cuts of uniform  
width possible.
