EXPLANATION FOR SYMBOLS
A Class II or double insulated electrical ap-
pliance is one which has been designed in
such a way that it does not require a safety
connection to electrical earth. The basic re-
quirement is that no single failure can result in
dangerous voltage becoming exposed so that
it might cause an electric shock and that this is
achieved without relying on an earthed metal
casing. This is usually achieved at least in part
by having two layers of insulating material
surrounding live parts or by using reinforced
insulation
Read instruction manual before operating or
attempting any maintenance work.
Switch off and remove the plug from the mains
before cleaning or maintenance.
DO NOT leave or use this appliance in the rain.
Wear hearing and eye protection
Keep Bystanders away
GENERAL SAFETY RULES
WARNING! Read all instructions carefully.
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 warn-
ings listed below refers to your mains-operated
(corded) power tool or battery-operated (cord-
less) power tool.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
1. Work area
a. Keep work area clean and well lit. Clut-
tered and 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 power
outlet. Never modify the plug in any
way. Do not use any adapter plugs with
earthed (grounded) power tools. Un-
modified plugs and matching outlets will
reduce risk of electric shock.
b. Avoid body contact with earthed or
grounded surfaces such as pipe radia-
tors, ranges and refrigerators. There is an
increased risk of electric shock.
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 increases
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 a residual
current device (RCD) protected sup-
ply. Use of an RCD reduces the risk of
electric shock.
3. Personal safety
a. Safety 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 influ-
ence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A
moment of inattention/distraction while
operating power tools may result in seri-
ous personal injury.
b. Use safety equipment. Always wear
eye protection. Safety equipment such
as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes,
hardhat, or hearing protection used
for appropriate conditions will reduce
personal injuries.
c. Avoid accidental starting. Ensure the
switch is in the off-position before plug-
ging in. Carrying power tools with your
finger on the switch or plugging on the
power tools that have the switch on invite
accidents.
d. Remove any adjusting key or wrench be-
fore 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 unex-
pected situations.
f. Dress properly. Do not wear loose cloth-
ing or jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing
and gloves away from moving parts.
Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can
be caught in moving parts.
g. If devices are provided for the connection
of dust extraction and collection facilities,
ensure these are connected and properly
used. Use of these devices can reduce
dust related hazards.
h. This appliance is not intended for use
by persons (including children) with
reduced physical, sensory or mental
capabilities, or lack of experience and
knowledge, unless they have been given
supervision or instruction concerning use
of the appliance by a person responsible
for their safety.
i. Children should be supervised to ensure
they do not play with the appliance.
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 changing ac-
cessories, or storing power tools. Such
preventive safety measure reduce the
risk of starting the power tool acciden-
tally.
d. Store idle power tools out of 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 misalign-
ment or binding of moving parts, break-
age of parts and any other conditions
that may affect the power tools operation.
If damaged, have the power 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 easier to control.
g. Use the power tool, accessories and tool
bits etc. in accordance with these instruc-
tions 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 power
tool for operations different from those
intended could result in a hazardous
situation.

3. SPECIFIC SAFETY INSTRUC-
TIONS
Always keep hands away from cutting area
and blade.
1. Always hold the Saw with firmly with both
hands before cutting.
2. Always keep your body positioned to either
side of the saw blade and not in line with
the saw blade.
3. Hold the saw firmly to prevent loss of
control.
4. Do not attempt to remove cut material when
blade is moving.
5. Always check that the Active Guard is clos-
ing correctly. Do not operate saw if Active
Guard does not move freely and closes in-
stantly. Never clamp or tie the Active Guard.
Raise the Active Guard with the Retracting
handle and make sure it moves freely and
does not touch the blade or any other part,
in all angles and depths of cut.
6. Check the operation and condition of active
guard spring, if the guard and the spring
are not operating properly, they must be
serviced before use. Active Guard may
operate sluggishly due to damaged parts
or gummy deposits or a build up of debris.
Unplug from power source. Remove the
blade, clean the upper Active Guards and

the hub area with a brush or blow it clean,
with an air compressor air.
7. The Active Guard should be retracted
manually only for making special cuts such
as pocket cuts and compound cuts. Always
raise Active Guard by Active Guard Handle
lever. As soon as blade touches the mate-
rial, release the handle of the Active Guard,
For all other sawing, the Active Guard
should operate automatically.
8. Always observe that the Active Guard is
covering the blade before placing saw
down on bench or floor after use. An unpro-
tected, coasting blade will cause the saw
to jump, cutting whatever is in its path. Be
aware of the time it takes for the blade to
stop after switch is released.
9. Never hold piece being cut in your hands
or across your leg. It is important to place
material being cut in a bench vice to mini-
mize the risk of hurting yourself.
10.Always hold the saw by the insulated grip-
ping surface when performing an operation
where the cutting tool may make contact
with wiring or its own cord.
11.When ripping always use a rip fence or
straight edge guide. This improves ac-
curacy of cut and reduces the chance for
blade bending.
12.Do not use any Carbide blades. These
blades are specially designed for this
machine.
13.Never use damaged or incurred blade
washers or bolts. The blade washers,
flanges and bolt were specially designed
for your saw, for optimum performance and
safety of operation.
14.Do not run the saw while carrying it in your
hand.
WARNING
• This Dual Blade Saw uses specially de-
signed blades and no other type of blades
should ever be used on it .Other types of
blade will not operate safely in this saw &
could result in serious injury,
• If the blades come in contact with the work-
place before they reach full speed, it could
cause the saw to kickback towards you
resulting in serious injury.
• Always make sure both blades enter into
the workplace at the same time. Entering
with only one blade will cause unexpected
kickback, risking serious injury.
PREVENTION OF KICKBACK
Kickback is the result of misuse and / or incor-
rect product operation or conditions and can
be avoided by taking proper precautions given
below:
• Maintain a firm grip with both hands on the
saw and position your body and arm to al-
low you to resist, kickback forces which can
be controlled by the operator.
• Support large panels to minimize the risk of
blade pinching and kickback. Large panels
tend to sag under their own weight. Sup-
ports must be placed under the panel on
both sides near the line of cut and near the
edge of panel.
• Use extra caution when making a “Pocket
Cut” or “Chasing” into existing walls or other
blind areas, you might cut objects that can
cause kickback.
ADDITIONAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR SAFE
OPERATION
Be sure to read and understand all instruc-
tions. Failure to follow all instruction listed be-
low may result in electric shock, fire or serious
personal injury.

cord location during operation. Follow-
ing this rule will reduce the risk of electric
shock or fire.
6. Always check for damaged parts. Before
further use of the tool, a guard or other
parts that are damaged should be carefully
checked to determine if it would operate
properly and perform its intended function.
Check for misalignment or binding of mov-
ing parts, breakage of parts and any other
condition that may affect the tool’s opera-
tion. A guard or other part that is damaged
should be properly repaired or replaced
at an Authorized Service Center. Follow-
ing this rule will reduce the risk of electric
shock, fire or serious injury.
7. Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord
to carry the tool or pull the plug from the

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTION
Refer to them frequently and use them to
instruct others who may use this tool. If some-
one borrows this tool, please make sure that
they have these instructions also.
• Lead from lead-based paints.
• Crystalline silica from bricks and cement
and other masonry products.
• Arsenic and Chromium from chemically
treated lumber.
• Your risk from these exposures varies
depending upon how often you do this
work. To reduce your exposure to these
chemicals.
• Work in a well-ventilated area.
• Work with approved safety equipment, such
as those dust masks that are specially des-
ignated to filter out microscopic particles.
The operation of any circular saw can result in
foreign objects being thrown into your eyes,
which can result in severe eye damage. Before
beginning power tool operation, always wear
safety gloves and safety glasses with side
shield and a full-face shied when needed.
4. KNOW YOUR DUAL BLADE
SAW
Your Dual Blade Saw has many built-in
convenience features for fast, efficient cutting.
These features include an innovative Two
Saw Blade System where the blades spin in
opposite directions to provide smooth, clean
cuts with less vibration and kickback. It also in-
cludes a pre installed blade lubricating system
for cutting aluminum, copper, stainless steel
and cast iron.
For your convenience, there is no special
assembly required for your Dual Blade Saw
handle, except assist for specification refer to
DATASHEET.
5. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
SAW BLADES
Even the best saw blades would not cut ef-
ficiently if they are not kept clean, sharp and
properly set. Using a dull blade will place a
heavy load on your saw and increases the
danger of kickback. Keep extra blades on
hand, so sharp blades are always available.
Gum and wood pitch hardened on your blade
will slow your saw down. Use gum and pitch
remover, hot water, or kerosene to remove
these accumulations. Do not use petrol.
This Dual Blade Saw uses specially designed
blades and no other types of blades should
ever be used. Other blades will not operate
safely in this saw and could result in serious
personal injury.

BLADE GUARD SYSTEM
The lower blade guard, attached to your
saw, is there for your protection and safety.
It should never be altered for any reason. If it
becomes damaged or begins to return slowly
or sluggishly, do not operate your saw until
the damage has been repaired or replaced.
Always leave the guard in its correct operation
position when using the saw.
When sawing through a work piece, the lower
blade guard does not cover the blade on the
underside of the work piece. Since the blade
is exposed on the underside of the work piece.
Always keep your hands and fingers away
from the cutting area. Any part of your body
coming in contact with the moving blade will
result in serious injury.
Never use this saw when the guard is not op-
erating properly. The guard should be checked
for correct operation before each use. If you
drop your saw, check lower blade guard and
bumper for damage at all depth setting before
using. NOTE: The guard is operating properly
when it moves freely and then steadily returns
to the closed position if the lower blade guard
does not close freely for no reason, take it
to your nearest authorized Repair Center for
service before using it.
STARTING A CUT
1. Always use your saw correctly.
2. Always support the work piece near the cut.
3. Always support the work piece so the cut
will be on your side.
4. Always clamp the work piece so it will not
move during the cut. Before starting a cut,
draw a guideline along the desired line of
cut. Then place the front edge of the saw
blades on that part of the work piece that is
solidly supported.
5. Never place the saw on the part of the work
piece that will fall off when the cut is made.
6. Always keep the cord away from the cutting
area. Always place the cord so it does not
hang up on the work piece when making
a cut.
Always maintain control of the saw to make
sawing safer and easier. Loss of control of
the saw could cause an accident resulting
in possible serious injury.
If the cord hangs up on the work piece
during a cut, release the trigger switch
immediately. Unplug the saw and move the
cord to prevent it from hanging up again.
Using the saw with a damaged cord could
result in shocking. Have it replaced before
using the saw again.
7. Slide the on/off switch to start the saw. Al-
ways let the blades reach full speed before
you begin to cut into the work piece.
If the blades come in contact with the work
piece before they reach full speed, it could
cause the saw to kickback towards you,
resulting in serious injury.
8. When making a cut, always use a steady,
even pressure. Forcing the saw causes
rough cuts and could shorten the life of the
saw or cause kickback.
When sawing through a work piece, the
lower blade guard does not cover the
blades. The blades are exposed on the
underside of the work piece; always keep
your hands and fingers away from the cut-
ting area. Any part of your body coming in
contact with the moving blade will result in
serious injury.
Whenever you lift your saw from the work
piece, the blade is exposed on the under
side of the saw until the lower blade guard
closes. Always MAKE SURE that the lower
blade guard is closed before setting the
saw down on work surface.
9. Always use the lubricating device (includ-
ed) when cutting aluminum, copper, stain-
less steel & cast iron materials because
they have a tendency to smear and adhere
to the blades.
FEED SPEED
Feed speed is how quickly you push the saw
blades through the material being cut. The
correct feed speed is totally determined by
the hardness and the thickness of the material
being cut.
Only feed the blades down approximately 3/8”,
then start cutting.
1. If feed speed is too slow
2. The blades will only press down on the
material rather than cutting it.
3. The blade edge glides and wears down the
material.
4. This will cause a poor cut and will cause
excessive wear on the blades
5. If the feed speed is too fast
6. There is a definite risk that the cut might
split. The splinter will get bigger and bigger
eventually break risking serious personal

injury.
REMOVING BLADES FROM SAW
Refer to section REMOVAL OF USED TWINS
BLADES
ATTACHING REPLACEMENT BLADE TO
THE SAW
Refer to section MOUNTING OF REPLACE-
MENT TWINS BLADES
Correct care makes good economics sense!
CLEANING AND STORAGE
Resin and other material that easily become
attached to the sides of the blade often cause
the blade to overheat.
This means that it can buckle or even split. You
must therefore always keep the blades clean.
Wash it with a solvent. Never try to scrape the
blade clean with a hard object.
When the blade is not in use, it should be
stored in its original sheath, well cleaned and
coated with an antirust agent.
RE-GRINDING AND RENOVATION
It is not economical to use a blunt blade. If you
do, the teeth can be damaged and it is then
necessary to grind away an excessive amount
of hard metal when sharpening it, which
reduces the blade’s life span and the risk of
personal injury.
SELECTING THE CORRECT FEED IS IMPOR-
TANT
If the feed speed is too slow, the blades will
only press down the material rather than cut
it. The edge glides or wears down the mate-
rial. The result is a poor cut and rapid wear of
blades.
If the feed speed is too fast, there is a risk that
the cut might split and the splinter open-
ing’s volume will not be sufficient to divert
all the shaving. The result is a poor cut with
significant discharge on the lower side of the
material.
Feeding must be parallel to the blade. Feeding
at an angle can burn the blade and damage
the teeth.
6. INSTRUCTIONS FOR CROSS
SECTIONAL CUTTING
As everyone knows, the life span of the blade
and the quality of the cutting edge is depend-
ent on vibrations being kept to a minimum.
For this reason the material must always be
clamped in place before work proceeds.
Flat bar iron
The blade is fed at an angle of 90°to the work
surface.
Corner piece
The blade is fed diagonally through the work
surface.
Rectangular pipe
The blade is fed from corner to corner.

U-section
The blade is fed from corner to corner.
Aluminium / copper
The machine must always be equipped with
the lubricating device, to be used when cutting
all kinds of aluminium and copper.
Shaped plate
The plate must always rest on three mounts,
with one on either side of the cut.
Pipe
The blade is fed through the object until it
reaches the lower edge, angled as it goes so
that the blade hits the material at an angle of
90°.
Spiral tube and longitudinal cutting
Feed the blade through the material, so that
the blade only protrudes through approx.
10mm, do not drive it as far as the blades en-
tire cutting edge. Then start to feed the blade
forwards or backwards.
Thin plate
Only feed the blade down approx. 10mm. then
start cutting.
The blade cover guard is fixed to protect the
operator from chips. When the blades rotates,
the chip flow comes our in both direction,
which must be observed.


7. REMOVAL OF USED TWIN
BLADES
1. Unplug the saw and allow blades to cool.
2. Rotate the blades while pressing the
spindle lock down until the blades cannot
move. Remove the locking bolt and blades

sure they easily turn in opposite directions.
9. DUAL BLADES
PLEASE NOTE
These products are fitted with specially
designed blades for “universal” use. These
blades spin in opposite direction. Never use
conventional carbide blades in this product.
Always bear in mind that it is the blades do-
ing the job, which means that the machine’s
capacity is not increased by overloading.(See
also in the instructions)
This is a very special machine and it can cope
with a surprising amount of tasks, but use it
with great care until you have learnt how to
handle it.
LUBRICATING INSTRUCTIONS
For cutting aluminum, copper or stainless
steel, the lubricating device must always be
used.
1. Before installing or replacing a lubricat-
ing stick, remove the power plug from the
source.
2. Insert the lubricating stick into the hole of
the lubricating device.
3. Turn the plastic knob of the lubricating
device clockwise to secure the stick.
The lubricating stick is fed by turning the
feeder wheel dock wise.
10.ACCESSORIES
LUBRICATINGSYSTEM
Lubricating System consists of two parts:
• Feeder wheel assembly
• Lubricating stick
AUXILIARY HANDLE
This fits into gearbox assembly and can be
fitted in one of the tapped (threaded) holes for
convenience.
This dual blade saw uses specifically designed
blades and no other types of blades should
ever be used. Other blades will not operate
safely in this saw and could resullt in serious
personal injury. Blades are marked ‘A’
inner blade and ‘B’ outer blade.
Do not touch the gearbox. It gets hot when in
operation.

The use of attachments or accessories that are
not recommended may be dangerous.
11.MAINTENANCE
To avoid accidents, always disconnect the
tool from the power source before cleaning or
performing any maintenance.
All parts represent an important part of the
double insulation system and should be ser-
viced only at authorized service centers.
Avoid using solvents when cleaning plastic
parts. Most plastics are susceptible to damage
from various types of commercial solvents
and may be damaged by their use. Use clean
cloths to remove dirt, carbon dust, etc.
Do not at any time let brake fluid, petrol,
petroleum-based products, penetrating oils,
etc. come in contact with plastic parts. They
contain chemicals that can damage, weaken
or destroy plastic.
It is a known fact that electrical tools are
subject to accelerated wear and possible
premature failure when they are used to work
on fiberglass boats and sports cars, wall-
board, spackling compounds or plaster. The
chips and grinding from these materials are
highly abrasive to electrical tool parts, such as
bearings, brushes, commutates, etc. Conse-
quently, it is not recommended that this tool
be used for extended work on any fiber glass
material, wallboard, spackling compound or
plaster. During any use on these materials, it
is extremely important that the tool is cleaned
frequently by blowing with an air compressor.
LUBRICATION
All of the bearing in this tool are lubricated with
a sufficient amount of high-grade lubricant
for the life of the tool under normal operating
condition. Therefore, no further lubrication is
required.
Always wear safety goggles or safety glasses
with side shields when using this tool or blow-
ing dust. If operation is dusty, also wear a dust
mask.
DOUBLE INSULATION
Double insulation is a concept of safety in
electrical power tools, which eliminates the
need for the standard 3-wire ground power
cord. All exposed metal parts are isolated from
the internal motor components with protecting
insulation. Double insulated power tools do
not need to be earthed.
The servicing of a tool with double insulation
requires extreme care and knowledge of the
system and should be performed only by a
qualified service technician. For service, we
recommend that you return the tool to our
authorized service center for repair. Always
use original factory replacement parts when
servicing.
EXTENSION CORDS
The use of any extension cord will cause some
loss of power. To keep the loss at a minimum
and to prevent overheating, use an extension
cord that is heavy enough to carry the current
that the tool will consume.
