GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS
(For All Power Tools)
WARNING! Read and understand all instructions. Failure to follow all
instructions listed below may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious personal
injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.
The term “power tool” in the warnings refers to your mains-operated (corded) power tool or
battery-operated (cordless) power tool.
Work Area Safety
1. Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
2. 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.
3. Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool.
Distractions can cause you
to lose control.
Electrical Safety
4. Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in anyway. Do not use any
adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools.
Unmodified plugs and matching outlets
will reduce risk of electric shock.
5. Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces, such as pipes, radiators, ranges and
refrigerators.
There is an increased risk o electric shock if your body is earthed or grounded.
6. Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions.
Water entering a power tool will
increase the risk of electric shock.
7. 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.
8. 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.
9. If operating a power in a damp location is unavoidable, use a residual current device (RCD)
protected supply.
Use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.
NOTE: The term “residual current device (RCD)” may be replaced by the term “ground fault
circuit interrupter (GFCI)” or “earth leakage circuit breaker (ELCB)”.
Personal Safety
10. 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.
11. 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.
12. 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.
13. Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the tool on.
A wrench or a key left
attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in personal injury.
14. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
This enables better control of
the power tool in unexpected situations.
15. Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing, and gloves
away from moving parts.
Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
16. If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure
these are connected and properly used.
Use of dust collection can reduce dust-related
hazards.
Power Tool Use and Care
17. 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.
18. Do not use tool if switch does not turn it on or off.
Any power tool that cannot be controlled
with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
19. 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.
20. 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.
21. 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.
22. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean.
Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting
edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
23. 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.
Battery Tool Use and Care
24. Recharge only with the charger specified by the manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for
one type of battery pack may create a risk of fire when used with another battery pack.
25. Use power tools only with specifically designated battery packs.
Use of any other battery
packs may create a risk of injury and fire.
26. When battery is not in use, keep it away from other metal objects like: paper clips, coins,
keys, nails, screws, or other small metal objects that can make a connection from one
terminal to another. Shorting the battery terminals together may cause sparks, burns, or a
fire.
27. Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from the battery; avoid contact. If contact
accidentally occurs, flush with water. If liquid contacts eyes, additionally seek medical help.
Liquid ejected from the battery may cause irritation or burns.
Service
28. 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.

ADDITIONAL SAFETY RULES
1. Hold tool by insulated gripping surfaces when performing an operation on wall and
floor where the cutting tool may contact hidden wiring. Contact with a “live” wire will
also make exposed metal parts of the tool “live” and shock the operator.
2. Use appropriate detectors to determine if utility lines, such as electric lines, gas lines
and water lines are hidden in the work area before screwing or drilling on the wall,
floor or ceiling. Once
t hose utility lines are drilled, it will cause fire and electric shock
accidents, explosion or other damages to properties.
3. Keep hands away from the sawing range. Do not reach under the workpiece. Contact
with the saw blade can lead to injuries.
4. Apply the machine to the workpiece only when switched on. Otherwise there is danger
of kickback when the cutting tool jams in the workpiece.
5. When sawing, the base plate must always faces against the workpiece. The saw blade
can become wedged and lead to loss of control over the machine
6. Clamp material well. Do not support the workpiece with your hand or foot. Do not touch
objects or the floor with the saw running.
7. When the cut is completed, switch off the machine and then pull the saw blade out of
the cut only after it has come to a standstill. In this manner you can avoid kickback and
can place down the machine securely.
8. Use only undamaged saw blades that are in perfect condition. Bent or dull saw blades
can break, negatively influence the cut, or lead to kickback.
9. Do not brake the saw blade to a stop by applying side pressure after switching off. The
saw blade can be damaged, break or cause kickback
10. When working with the machine, always hold it firmly with both hands and provide for a
secure stance. The power tool is guided more secure with both hands.
11. Secure the workpiece. A workpiece clamped with clamping devices or in a vice is held
more secure than by hand.
12. Always wait until the machine has come to a complete stop before placing it down. The
tool insert can jam and lead to loss of control over the power tool.
13. Recycle and use the damaged tools, accessories and abandoned packages in an
environmentally friendly way in accordance with the local laws.

Selecting Saw Blade
Use only saw blades suitable for the material being worked. Select a suitable saw blade
according to the workpiece in reference to the table as mentioned in intended use. The saw
blade should not be longer than required for the intended cut. Use a thin saw blade for narrow
curve cuts.
Inserting Saw Blade
CAUTION:
Check the tight seating of the saw blade. A loose saw
blade can fall out and lead to injuries.
Turn the locking sleeve approx. 90° in the direction of
the arrow and hold it. Insert the saw blade into the saw
blade holder.
For some special work, the saw blade can also be
turned through 180° (with the teeth pointed upwards)
and re-inserted again. (Fig.5)
Removing Saw Blade
Turn the locking sleeve approx. 90° in the direction of
the arrow and hold it. Remove the saw blade. (Fig.6)
Adjusting Base Plate
Pull out the base plate and start the tool. The available
cutting position is mainly the front end of saw blade.
The abrasion of saw blade’s front end affect the tool’s
cutting efficiency. Adjusting the extension length of
base plate can change the available cutting position
and increase the cutting efficiency.
To adjust the base plate, press the adjustment button,
push the base plate according to the direction of the
arrow until it locks in place with a little click. (Fig.7)
Operation
CAUTION:
Lock the safety switch if the tool is not in use.
To switch on the tool, unlock the safety switch
first and then press the speed-control switch.
Speed-control switch can adjust stroke rate
variously. The required stroke rate is dependent
on the material and the working conditions and
can be determined by a practical trial. Reducing
the stroke rate is recommended when the saw
blade engages in the material as well as when sawing plastic and aluminum.
To switch off the tool, simply release the speed-control switch. (Fig.8)
Saw Dust
Pigment with lead or dust generated from some wood, mineral or metal can damage health. The
operator or people near the working area may suffer from allergies or respiratory tract infection if
they breathe in those dusts. Such dust generated from oak may be carcinogenic, especially when
mixed with additive. Only people with special training can process materials with asbestos.
Keep working area well ventilated.
Wear respirator of grade P2 when operating.
Avoid working area from accumulating too much dust, or there may be a danger of fire.
Tips for Operation
1. When saw light building materials, observe the statutory provisions and the
recommendations of the material suppliers. Check wood, press boards, building materials,
etc. for foreign objects such as nails, screws or similar, and remove them, if required.
2. Switch the machine on and guide it toward the workpiece. Position the base plate onto the
surface of the work and saw through the material applying uniform contact pressure and
feed. After completing the working procedure, switch the machine off and lock the safety
switch.

3. If the saw blade should jam, switch the machine off immediately. Widen the gap somewhat
with a suitable tool and pull out the machine.
4. When sawing metal, coolant/lubricant should be applied alongside cutting line because of
the material heating up.
5. Do not expose battery cartridge to rain, snow or wet conditions. Often use soft, clean and
dry brush to clean the battery’s vent.
6. If operating time with a battery has become excessively shorter after charging, stop
operating immediately and replace with a new one or go to maintenance for inspection.
Plunge Cutting
CAUTION:
In general, plunge cutting can only be applied on
soft materials, such as wood, gypsum and so on.
It cannot be used on metal.
Use a drill to bore a hole in which the saw blade
can be inserted if plunge cutting on metal is a
must. (Fig.9)
Use only short saw blades for plunge cutting.
1. Place the machine with the edge of the footplate 2 onto the workpiece and switch on. Press
the power tool firmly against the workpiece and allow the saw blade to slowly plunge into
the workpiece.
2. As soon as the footplate fully lays on the surface of the workpiece, continue sawing
alongside the desired cutting line
.
Flat Cutting
CAUTION:
The length of saw blade must be longer than the diameter of the pipe, otherwise cause a
kickback.
Use flexible thermometal blade to saw the bulge on the wall(such as water pipe and so on).
MAINTENANCE AND INSPECTION
CAUTION:
Always be sure that the tool is switched off and the battery is removed before attempting to
perform inspection or maintenance.
Inspecting the Mounting Screws
Regularly inspect all mounting screws and ensure that they are properly tightened. Should any of
the screws be loose, retighten them immediately. Failure to do so could result in serious hazard.
Cleaning
Only use soft and dry cloth to wipe the body of the tool. Do not clean the tool with wet cloth,
thinner, gasoline or other volatile solvents.
※To maintain product SAFETY and RELIABILITY, repairs, any other maintenance or adjustment
should be performed by authorized service centers, always using original replacement parts.
