24.Safety Warnings for Chop and Plunge Saw Kit
a) Never stand on the power tool. Serious injuries can
occur when the power tool tips over or when
inadvertently coming into contact with the saw blade.
b) Never remove cutting remainders, wood chips,
etc. from the sawing area while the machine is
running. Always guide the tool arm back to the neutral
position first and then switch the machine off.
c) Guide the saw blade against the workpiece only
when the machine is switched on. Otherwise there is
damage of kickback, when the saw blade becomes
wedged in the workpiece.
d) Keep handles dry, clean, and free from oil and
grease. Greasy, oily handles are slippery causing loss
of control.
e) Operate the power tool only when the work area
to the workpiece is clear of any adjusting tools,
wood chips, etc. Small pieces of wood or other objects
that come in contact with the rotating saw blade can
strike the operator with high speed.
f) Keep the floor free of wood chips and material
remainders. You could slip or trip.
g) Use the machine only for cutting the materials
listed under Intended use. Otherwise, the machine
can be subject to overload.
h) If the saw blade should become jammed, switch
the machine off and hold the workpiece until the
saw blade comes to a complete stop. To prevent
kickback, the workpiece may not be moved until
after the machine has come to a complete stop.
Correct the cause for the jamming of the saw blade
before restarting the machine.
i) Do not use dull, cracked, bent or damaged saw
blades. Unsharpened or improperly set saw blades
produce narrow kerf causing excessive friction, blade
binding and kickback.
j) Always use saw blades with correct size and
shape (diamond versus round) of bore. Saw blades
that do not match the mounting hardware of the saw
will run eccentrically, causing loss of control.
k) Do not touch the saw blade after working before
it has cooled. The saw blade becomes very hot while
working.
l) Check the cable regularly and have a damaged
cable repaired only through an authorised
customer service agent. Replace damaged
extension cables. This will ensure that the safety of
the power tool is maintained.
m) Store the machine in a safe manner when not
being used. The storage location must be dry and
lockable. This prevents the machine from storage
damage, and from being operated by untrained
persons.
n) Secure the workpiece. A workpiece clamped with
clamping devices or in a vice is held more secure than
by hand.
o) Never leave the machine before it has come to a
complete stop. Cutting tools that are still running can
cause injuries.
p) Never use the machine with a damaged cable. Do
not touch the damaged cable and pull the mains
plug when the cable is damaged while working.
Damaged cables increase the risk of an electric
shock.
q) 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.
r) 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.

Sawing With the Guide Rail
The Guide Rail is used to carry out straight cuts. The
rubber lip (black rubber lip) on the guide rail acts as a
splinter guard; it prevents fraying of the surface while
sawing wooden materials. For this, the teeth of the saw
blade must face directly against the rubber lip.
Note: On the very first cut, the rubber lip will be adapted
with the guide rail to the plunge saw.
1.Place the Guide Rail onto the material to be cut.
2.Place a Clamp at either end of the Guide Rail and
clamp the material to be cut.
3.Ensure the cutting depth is set and locked to the
desired depth.
4.Place the Plunge Saw in the guide Rail.
5.Hold the saw securely with both hands and start the
tool.
6.Press the saw downwards to reach the sawing depth
set at step 3.
7.Move the saw through the material to perform the cut.
8.Once complete, release the ON/OFF trigger and
move the saw blade upwards.

10

10. Maintenance
Keep your tool in good repair by adopting a regular
maintenance program. Before use, examine the general
condition of your tool. Inspect guards, switches, tool
cord set and extension cord for damage. Check for
loose screws, misalignment, binding of moving parts,
improper mounting, broken parts and any other
condition that may affect its safe operation. If abnormal
noise or vibration occurs, turn the tool off immediately
and have the problem corrected before further use. Do
not use a damaged tool. Tag damaged tools “DO NOT
USE” until repaired (see “Repairs”).
Under normal conditions, relubrication is not necessary
until the motor brushes need to be replaced.
After six months to one year, depending on use, return
your tool to the nearest service station facility for the
following:
- Lubrication
- Brush inspection and replacement
- Mechanical inspection and cleaning (gears, spindles,
bearings, housing, etc.)
- Electrical inspection (switch, cord, armature, etc.)
- Testing to assure proper mechanical and electrical
operation
- Keep the vents of the saw clean at all times.
If possible, prevent foreign matter from entering the
vents.
- After each use, blow air through the saw housing and
guard, to ensure it is free from all dust particles which
may build up. Build up of dust particles may cause the
saw to overheat and fail.
- If the enclosure of the saw requires cleaning, do not
use solvents but a moist soft cloth only. Never let any
liquid get inside the saw; never immerse any part of the
saw into a liquid.
- The grease in the gearbox will require replenishment
after extensive use of the saw. Please see a power tool
repairer to provide this service.
Carbon Brushes
When the carbon brushes wear out, the saw will spark
and/or stop. Discontinue use as soon as this happens.
They should be replaced prior recommencing use of
the saw. Carbon brushes are a wearing component of
the saw therefore not covered under warranty.
Continuing to use the saw when carbon brushes need
to be replaced may cause permanent damage to the
saw. Carbon brushes will wear out after many uses.
When the carbon brushes need to be replaced, take
the saw to an electrician or a power tool repairer for a
quick and low cost replacement.Always replace both
carbon brushes at the same time.
Cleaning
Clean dust and debris from vents. Keep the tool
handles clean, dry and free of oil or grease. Use only
mild soap and a damp cloth to clean your tool since
certain cleaning agents and solvents are harmful to
plastics and other insulated parts. Some of these
include: gasoline, turpentine, lacquer thinner, paint
thinner, chlorinated cleaning solvents, ammonia and
household detergents containing ammonia. Never use
flammable or combustible solvents around tools.
11

11. Troubleshooting
Circular saw tips
Always hold the soft grip handle with one hand and the
front handle with the other. Maintain a firm grip and
operate the ON/OFF switch with a positive action.
Never force the saw. Use light and continuous pressure.
Allow the saw to reach full speed before beginning a
cut.
When cutting is interrupted, to resume cutting, depress
the lock-off button and squeeze the ON/OFF switch and
allow the blade to reach full speed, re-enter the cut
slowly and resume cutting.
When cutting across the grain, the fibres of the wood
have a tendency to tear and lift. Advancing the saw
slowly minimizes this effect. For a finished cut, a cross
cut blade or mitre blade is recommended.
Sparking visible through the housing air vents
A small amount of sparking may be visible through the
housing vents. This is normal and does not indicate a
problem.
Excessive sparking visible through the housing air vents
and/or the saw failing to operate
May indicate the carbon brushes have worn out and
need to be replaced. Carbon brushes should only be
replaced by a qualified electrician or power tool repairer.
