pin into the correct position.
OPERATING YOUR SCORPION SAW
Variable speed trigger switch
Your Scorpion Saw is equipped with a variable speed
trigger switch that allows you greater control over
start of cut, rate of cut and breakthrough of cut.
To switch your Scorpion
Saw on, push lock-off
button (2) and squeeze
the on/off variable
speed trigger switch (1).
To switch off, release
the trigger, the unit will
automatically lock-off.
Standard Mode To obtain the best results
from your Scorpion Saw,
use the same backward
and forward movement
you would employ with
a traditional hand saw.
This will enable a quicker cleaner cut.
Operating in Jigsaw Mode Disconnect unit from
power supply. Remove
blade, rotate shoe
through 270˚and secure
in position. Fit curve
cutting blade.
Remove tooth protector
and your Scorpion Saw
is now ready for use.
Cutting Metal
Your Scorpion Saw can be used for cutting light
gauge ferrous and non-ferrous metals such as
copper, brass, aluminium, etc. See recommended
materials.
It is advisable when cutting thin sheet to clamp a
backing sheet of soft wood or plywood to the work
as this will enable you to obtain a cleaner cut. Both
metal and wood backing are sawn together. Do not
force the cutting blade into the metal as this will
reduce the life of the blade and possibly damage the
motor. Cutting thin metal will take longer than cutting
even a relatively thick piece of wood, so do not be
tempted to speed up the operation by forcing the
saw. Spread a thin film of oil along the proposed
cutting line before cutting.
Only use the metal cutting blade for this purpose.

CLEANING
Disconnect your Scorpion Saw from the power

turpentine, lacquer or paint thinners or similar
products. Never let any liquid get inside the tool and
never immerse any part of your Scorpion Saw into
liquid.
