GENERAL SAFETY RULES
(For All Battery Operated Tools)
WARNING! Read and understand all instructions. Failure
tofollow
all instructions listed below, may result in electric
shock, fire and/or serious personal injury.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Work Area
Keepyour work area clean and well lit. Cluttered benchesand dark areas invite
accidents.
Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence
of flammable liquids, gases, or dust. Powertools create sparks which may ignite
the dust or fumes.
Keep bystanders, children, and visitors away while operating a power tool.
Distractions can cause you to loose control.
Electrical Safety
A batteryoperatedtool with integralbatteriesora separate batterypack must
be recharged only with the specified charger for the battery.
A charger that
may be suitable for one type of battery may create a risk of fire when used with
another battery.
Use battery operated tool only with specifically designated battery pack. Use
of any other batteries may create
a risk of fire.
Personal Safety
*Stay alert, watch what you are doing, and use common sense when operating
a power tool.
Do not usetoolwhile tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol,
or medication.
A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result
in serious personal injury.
Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing orjewelry. Contain long hair. Keep
your hair, clothing, and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry,
or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
Avoid accidental starting. Be sure switchis in the locked or off position before
insertingbattery pack. Carryingtools with your finger onthe switch or inserting
the battery pack into
a tool with the switch on invites accidents.
Remove adjusting keys or switches before turning the tool on. A wrench or
a keythat is left attached to a rotating part of the tool may result in personalinjury.
Do not overreach. Keep properfooting and balance at all times. Proper footing
and balance enable better control of the tool in unexpected situations.
Usesafety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Dust mask, non-skidsafety
shoes, hard hat,
or hearing protection must be used for appropriate conditions.

Tool Use and Care
Use clamps or other practical way to secure and support the workpiece to a
stable platform. Holdingthe work by hand or against your body is unstable and
may lead to
loss of control.
Do not force tool. Use the correct tool for your application. The correct tool
will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it is designed.
*Do not use tool if switch does not turn it on or off. A tool that cannot be
controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
*Disconnect battery pack from tool or place the switch
in the locked or off
position before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing the
tool. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the tool
accidenta
I I y.
Store idle tools out of reachof children and other untrained persons. Tools are
dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
When battery pack 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 aconnectionfrom one terminal toanother. Shortingthe batteryterminals
together may cause sparks, burns, or a fire.
Maintaintools with care. Keepcuttingtools sharpand clean. Properlymaintained
tools with sharp cutting edge are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
Check for misalignment or bindingof moving parts, breakageof parts, and any
other condition that may affect the tool's operation. If damaged, have the tool
serviced before using. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained tools.
Use only accessories that are recommended by the manufacturer for your
model. Accessories that may be suitablefor one tool may create
a risk of injury
when used on another tool.
Service
Tool service must be performed only by qualified repair personnel. Service or
maintenance performed by unqualified personnel may result in a risk of injury.
When servicing atool, use only identical replacement parts. Follow instructions
in the Maintenance section of this manual. Use of unauthorized parts or failure
to follow Maintenance Instructions may create a risk
of shock or injury.

cutouts
Cutouts can be made with either of two methodsA or B.
A) Boring a starting hole: For internal cut-
outs without lead-in cut from an edge,
pre-drill
a starting hole more than
12 mm (15/32") in diameter. Insert the
blade into this hole and hold the tool
firmly against the workpiece to start
your cut.
=/
Starting hole
B) Plunge cutting:You need not bore a starting hole or make a lead-in cut if you carefully
do as follows.
1) Tilt the tool up on the front edge of the base, with the blade point positionedjust
above the workpiecesurface.
2) Apply firm pressure to the tool
so
that the front edge of the base will
not move when you switch on the
tool and gently lower the back end
of
the tool slowly.
3)
As the blade slices into the work-
piece, slowly lower the base of the
tool down onto the workpiece sur-
face.
4) Completethe cut in the normal man-
ner.
Finishing edges
To trim edges or make slight dimensional
adjustments, runthe blade lightly along the
cut edges.
12

Metalcutting
Always use a suitablecoolant (cuttingoil) when cutting metal. Failure to do so will cause
significant
blade wear. The underside of the workpiece can be greased instead of using a
coolant.
Anti-splinteringdevice
To reduce the potential for workpiece sur-
face splintering, the anti-splintering device
can be used.Fit it intothe base from below
so that it surrounds the sides of the blade.
Plastic baseplate (optionalaccessory)
Use the plastic base plate when cutting
decorativeveneers, plastics,etc. It protects
sensitiveor delicatesurfaces from damage.
To replace the base plate, removethe four
screwswith the hex wrench.
Guiderule (ripfence; optionalaccessory)
When cutting widths of under 150 mm
(5-29/32") repeatedly, use of the guide rule
will assure fast, clean, straight cuts.
To
install it, loosenthe bolt on the front of the
base.
Slip in the guide rule and secure the
bolt.

Circular guide (optionalaccessory)
Use of the circular guide insures clean,
smooth cutting of circles under
200 mm
(7-7/8") in radius. Insertthe pinthrough the
center hole and secure
it with the threaded
knob. Move the base of the tool fully for-
ward. Then install the circular guide on the
base in the same manner, as the guide rule
(ripfence).
