CONTENTS
The following items should be supplied in the carton. If any parts are missing,
do not operate your saw until the missing parts are obtained.
SAFETY WARNINGS
1. Keep work area clean. Cluttered
areas and benches invite injuries.
2. Consider work area environment.
Do not expose power tools to rain.
Do not use power tools in damp or
wet locations. Keep work area well
lit. Do not use power tools where
there is risk to cause fire or
explosion.
3. Guard against electric shock.
Avoid body contact with earthed
or grounded surfaces (e.g. pipes,
radiators, ranges, refrigerators).
4. Keep children away. Do not let
visitors touch the tool or extension
cord. All visitors should be kept
away from work area.
5. Store idle tools. When not in use,
tools should be stored in a dry, high
or locked up place, out of reach of
children.
6. Do not force the tool. It will do the
job better and safer at the rate for
which it was intended.
7. Use the right tool. Do not force
small tools or attachments to do
the job of a heavy duty tool. Do
not use tools for purposes not
intended; for example, do not use
circular saws to cut tree limbs or
logs.
8. Dress properly. Do not wear loose
clothing or jewellery, they can be
caught in moving parts. Rubber
gloves and non-skid footwear are
recommended when working
outdoors. Wear protecting hair
covering to contain long hair.
9. Use safety glasses and hearing

10. Do not abuse the cord. 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.
11. Secure work. 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.
12. Do not overreach. Keep proper
footing and balance at all times.
13. 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.
14. Disconnect tool when not in use,
before servicing, and when
changing accessories such as
blades, bits and cutters.
15. 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.
16. Avoid unintentional starting. Do not
carry a plugged-in tool with a
finger on the switch. Ensure the
switch is off when plugging in.
17. Use outdoor extension leads. When
tool is used outdoors, use only
extension cords intended for
outdoor use.
18. Stay alert. Watch what you are
doing. Use common sense. Do not
operate the tool when you are
tired.
19. Check damaged parts. Before
further use of the tool, a guard or
other part that is damaged should
be carefully 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 centre
unless otherwise indicated in this
instruction manual. Have defective
switches replaced by an
authorised service facility. Do not
use the tool if the switch does not
turn it on and off
20. Have your tool repaired by a
qualified person. This electric tool is
in accordance with the relevant
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.

ADDITIONAL SAFETY RULES FOR
TOOL
1. Use only correct blades from your
Clarke dealer. Never use abrasive
cut-off wheel or other types of saw
blades.
2. Check the blade carefully for
cracks or damage before
operation. Replace a cracked or
damaged blade immediately.
3. Never secure the safety cover
(safety guard) in an open position.
Always be sure that the safety
cover moves smoothly before
operation. Any irregular operation
of the safety cover should be
corrected immediately. Do not use
the saw without guards in position.
4. Be sure guard lock is released
before the switch is turned on.
5. Before using the tool on an actual
workpiece, let it run for a while.
Watch for vibration or wobbling
that could indicate poor
installation or a poorly balanced
blade.
6. Keep your hands and body away
from rotating blade.
7. Always secure the workpiece with
the vice.
8. Make sure the blade is not
contacting the workpiece before
switching on.
9. Watch out for flying sparks when
operating. They can cause injury or
ignite combustible materials.
10. Do not touch the blade,
workpiece or swarf immediately
after operation; they may be
extremely hot and could burn your
skin.
11. If the blade stops during operation,
makes an odd noise, or begins to
vibrate, switch off the tool
immediately. Then check the tool
and blade.

If the plug has to be changed because it is not suitable for your socket, or
because of damage, it must be removed and a replacement fitted, following
the wiring instructions shown below. The old plug must be discarded safely, as
insertion into a power socket could cause an electrical hazard.
If the colours of the wires in the power cable do not agree with the markings on
the plug.

CUTTING FLUID/LUBRICATION
To prevent the material and blade overheating during cutting, lubricate the
blade using coolant (oil and water mix) poured in the tray.
The coolant is then re-circulated after passing through a purifying filter.
RECOMMENDED FLUID
For general cutting, it is recommended that you use Clarke Professional Metal
Cutting Fluid available from your local Clarke dealer
(Part number 1 litre - 3051059, 5 litre - 3051061)
FILLING
1. Add coolant to the tray (minimum
depth 10 mm).
CLEANING
We recommend that the coolant is removed when the machine is
transported. The tray can then be completely emptied of any debris.
For thorough cleaning, loosen the 4 bolts on the base and remove the entire
machine unit thereby freeing the tray.
COOLANT DISPOSAL
The disposal of coolants is controlled by strict regulations, do not pour coolant
down drains, take it to your local recycling center for safe disposal.
