GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING! Read all safety warnings and
all instructions. Failure to follow the
warnings and instructions may result in
electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for future
reference. The term “power tool” in the warnings
refers to your mainsoperated (corded) power tool or
battery-operated (cordless) power tool.
1) WORK AREA SAFETY
a. Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered
or dark areas invite accidents.
b. 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.
c. Keep children and bystanders away while
operating a power tool. Distractions can
cause you to lose control.
2) ELECTRICAL SAFETY
a. 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.
b. 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.
c. Do not expose power tools to rain or wet
conditions. Water entering a power tool will
increase the risk of electric shock.
d. 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.
e. When operating a power tool outdoors, use
an extension cord suitable for outdoor use.
Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces
the risk of electric shock.
f. If operating a power tool in a damp
location is unavoidable, use an earth
leakage circuit breaker. Use of an earth
leakage circuit breaker reduces the risk of
electric shock.
3) PERSONAL SAFETY
a. a) 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.
b. b) Use personal protective equipment.
Always wear eye protection. Protective
equipment such as dust mask, non-skid safety
shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for
appropriate conditions will reduce personal
injuries.
c. Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the
switch is in the off-position before
connecting to power source and/or battery
pack, picking up or carrying the tool.
Carrying power tools with your finger on the
switch or energising power tools that have the
switch on invites accidents.
d. Remove any adjusting key or wrench
before turning the power tool on. A wrench
or a key left attached to a rotating part of the
power tool may result in personal injury.
e. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and
balance at all times. This enables better
control of the power tool in unexpected
situations.
f. Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing
or jewelry. Keep your hair, clothing and
gloves away from moving parts. Loose
clothes, jewelry or long hair can be caught in
moving parts.
g. If devices are provided for the connection
of dust extraction and collection facilities,

4
ensure these are connected and properly used.
Use of dust collection can reduce dust-related
hazards.
4) POWER TOOL USE AND CARE
a. 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.
b. 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.
c. Disconnect the plug from the power source
and/or the battery pack from the power
tool before making any adjustments,
changing accessories, or storing power
tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce
the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.
d. 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.
e. 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.
f. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly
maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting
edges are less likely to bind and are easier to
control.
g. Use the power tool, accessories and tool
bits etc., in accordance with these
instructions, taking into account the
working conditions and the work to be
performed. Use of the power tool for
operations different from those intended
could result in a hazardous situation.
5) SERVICE
Have your power tool serviced by a qualified
repair person using only identical replacement
parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power
tool is maintained.

SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES
1. Keep hands away from cutting area and
blade at all times! Keep your second hand
on an auxiliary handle. If both hands are
holding the saw, they cannot be cut by the
blade.
2. Do not reach underneath the work.
3. Hold tool by insulated gripping surfaces
when performing an operation where the
cutting tools may contact hidden wiring or
its own cord. Contact with a “live” wire will
make exposed metal parts of the tool “live”
and shock the operator.
4. Always use blades with correct size and
shape arbor holes. Blades that do not match
the mounting hardware of the saw will run
eccentrically, causing loss of control.
5. Never use damaged or incorrect arbor
flanges or bolts. The arbor flanges and bolt
were specially designed for your saw, for best
performance and safety of operation.
6. Maintain a firm grip on the saw and
position your body and arm in a way that
allows you to resist KICKBACK forces.
KICKBACK forces can be controlled by the
operator, if proper precautions are taken.
7. Do not use a dull or damaged blade.
8. Use only recommended blades, rated at the
machine’s maximum rated RPM or higher
with correct arbor hole.
9. Tighten blade retaining bolt and all clamps
before operating.
10. Check the inside surfaces of the arbor
flanges as well as the sides of the blade for
freedom from any foreign matter.
11. Check the blade for cracks or other damage
before operation. Replace cracked or
damaged blade immediately. Carry out a test
run without load for at least 30 seconds
before use.
12. Never start the tool with the workpiece
against the blade.
13. Allow the motor to achieve full speed
before cutting.
14. Important: After completing the cut,
release power switch and wait for coasting
blade to stop completely before putting the
saw down
15. Never operate the tool in an area with
flammable solids, liquids, or gases. Sparks
from the commutator/carbon brushes could
cause a fire or explosion.
16. There are certain applications for which
this tool was designed. The manufacturer
strongly recommends that this tool NOT be
modified and/or used for any application
other than for which it was designed. If you
have any questions relative to its application
DO NOT use the tool until you have written
the manufacturer and have been advised.
17. Only use the machine for cutting in stone,
concrete or masonry.
18. Use the auxiliary handles supplied with
the tool. Loss of control can cause personal
injury.
19. Use a residual current device (PRCD) (not
included) to protect from current surges.
20. Keep power supply cord clear from the
working range of the machine. Always lead
the cable away behind you.
21. Immediately switch off the machine if
unusual vibrations or if other malfunctions
occur. Check the machine in order to find out
the cause.
22. Only use and store diamond blades
according to the Manufacturer’s
instructions.
23. Pay attention to the dimensions of the
blades. The diameter of the center bore must
engage the arbor without play. If not use any
necessary reduction pieces or adapters
(supplied with the blade) to ensure a proper
fit.
24. Take care to avoid hidden electric lines,
gas and water pipes. Check your working
area, e.g. with a metal detector before
commencing work.

dust protection mask and remove deposited
dust with a vacuum cleaner.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
The network voltage must conform to the voltage
indicated on the tool name plate. Under no
circumstances should the tool be used when the
power supply cable is damaged. A damaged cable
must be replaced immediately by an authorized
Customer Service Center. Do not try to repair the
damaged cable yourself. The use of damaged
power cables can lead to an electric shock.
INTENDED USE
This saw is designed exclusively for wet or dry
cutting of stone, concrete and masonry. This
machine should not be used for cutting other
materials. The machine should not be converted or
modified, e.g. for any other form of use, other than
as specified in these operating instructions. The
user shall be liable for damages and accidents due

OPERATION
1. Adjust the depth of cut.
2. Draw a cutting line before beginning cutting so
it is easy to make straight cuts.
3. Place the machine in position on the workpiece.
4. While the blades are not yet in contact with the
workpiece, press the lock button squeeze the
trigger and allow the machine to reach full
speed.
5. Holding firmly with both hands, slowly advance
the machine until it makes contact with the
workpiece. Begin moving forward along the
line of cut Take care that the base remains firmly
on the workpiece.
CAUTION: Take care not to cut in a curved
line. This will likely shatter the diamond
blades causing a severe hazard.
6. When the cut is finished, allow the coasting
blade to come to a full stop before setting
down. NOTE: Only operate the machine
forwards relative to itself and never
backwards. If you cut backwards there is the
danger that the machine might be
accelerated out of the cutting groove (recoil)
and cause serious injury.
CAUTION: Keep the cord away from cutting area
to prevent it from becoming entangled in the
workpiece.
Do not force the cut. Let the saw do the cutting at
the rate of speed permitted by the type of cut and
workpiece.
SHARPENING DULL DIAMOND
BLADES
If a lot of sparks are seen while cutting, this is a sign
that the blade is becoming dull. To create better
diamond exposure (sharpen), make several cuts in
a special sharpening stone for diamond blades or
alternately use calcareous sandstone.
MAINTENANCE
Every 50 hours of operation blow compressed
air through the motor while running at no load
to clean out accumulated dust. (If operating in
especially dusty conditions, perform this operation
more often.)
KEEP TOOL CLEAN
Periodically blow out all air passages with dry
compressed air. All plastic parts should be cleaned
with a soft damp cloth. NEVER use solvents to
clean plastic parts. They could possibly dissolve or
otherwise damage the material. Wear safety
glasses while using compressed air.
THE CARBON BRUSHES
The carbon brushes are a normal wearing part and
must be replaced when they reach their wear limit.
Fig.9

11
See fig.9. To replace: simply remove the brush caps
(47) and withdraw the old brushes (46). Replace
with new brushes (always replace as a pair)
ensuring that they align properly and slide freely.
Then replace the brush caps.
See fig.10.
If the replacement of the power supply
cord is necessary, this has to be done by the
manufacturer or their agent in order to avoid a
safety hazard.
WARNING: All repairs must be entrusted to an
authorized service center. Incorrectly performed
repairs could lead to injury or death.
