repeated use) replace strict adherence to the tool safety rules. If you use
this tool unsafely or incorrectly, you can suffer serious personal injury.
WARNING! DO NOT let comfort or familiarity with product (gained from
repeated use) replace strict adherence to the tool safety rules. If you use
this tool unsafely or incorrectly, you can suffer serious personal injury.
1. Use the correct tool for the job. This tool was designed for a
specific function. Do not modify or alter this tool or use it for
an unintended purpose.
2. Accessories must be rated for at least the recommended strokes per
minute speed of the tool. See the Specifications section for the no
load speed.
3. Keep hands away from cutting area and the blade. Keep both hand
securely on the saw. If both hands are holding the saw, they cannot be
cut by the blade.
4. Keep your body positioned to either side of the blade, but not in line with
the saw blade. Kickback could cause the saw to jump backwards.
5. Do not reach underneath the work piece.
6. Never hold a work piece being cut in your hands or across your leg. Secure
the work piece to a stable platform. It is important to support the work
properly to minimize body exposure, blade binding, or loss of control.
7. Stay clear of end pieces that may fall after cutting. They may be hot, sharp
and / or heavy. Serious personal injury may result.
8. Always handle the saw blade with care when mounting or removing it.
9. Do not start the tool when the blade is touching the work piece.
10. Hold the tool by insulated gripping surfaces when performing an operation
where the cutting tool may contact hidden wiring or its own cord. Contact
with a "live" wire will also make exposed metal parts of the power tool "live"
and shock the operator.
Visit www.princessauto.com for more information 5

8633695 High Speed Air Body Saw V 4.0
11. Always use blades that are designed to be used with this saw. Blades that
do not match the mounting hardware of the saw may be launched with
great force from the saw causing damage to property or personal injury.
A blade that does not match the mounting hardware may also run
eccentrically, causing loss of control.
12. After changing a blade or making adjustments, make sure that the blade
chuck is holding the blade securely.
13. Do not use dull or damaged blades.
14. Do not use the tool on any material containing asbestos.
15. Avoid cutting nails. Inspect the work piece for any nails and remove
before cutting.
16. Do not touch the blade or the surface that has been cut with this tool
immediately after use. The surface will be hot and may cause an injury.
AIR TOOL PRECAUTIONS
1. Extended exposure to air tool noise may cause hearing loss. Ear protection
gear can reduce or eliminate the noise level.
2. Inspect the tool's air line for cracks, fraying or other faults before each use.
Discontinue use if the air line is damaged or hissing is heard from the air
line or connectors, while operating the tool. Replace the defective
component/air line.
3. Do not allow people, mobile equipment or vehicles to pass over the
unprotected air line. Position the air line away from high traffic areas, in a
reinforced conduit or place planks on both sides of the airline to create a
protective trench.
4. Prevent damage to the air line by observing the following:
a. Never carry the tool by the air line.
b. Keep the air line behind the tool and out of the tool's work path.
c. Keep the air line away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts.
d. Do not wrap the air line around the tool as sharp edges may pierce or
crack the airline. Coil the air line when storing.
6 For technical questions call 1-800-665-8685

V 4.0 High Speed Air Body Saw 8633695
5. A damaged or disconnected air line under pressure may whip around and
inflict personal injury or damage the work area. Secure the compressor's
air line to a fixed or permanent structure with clamps or cable ties.
6. Install an in-line shutoff valve or regulator to allow immediate control over
the air supply in an emergency, even if a hose is ruptured.
KICKBACK PRECAUTIONS
Kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched, bound or misaligned blade, causing
an uncontrolled tool to lift up and out of the workpiece toward the operator;
when the blade is pinched or bound tightly by the cut workpiece closing down,
the blade stalls and the motor reaction drives the unit rapidly back toward the
operator. Kickback may result in loss of control of the tool leading to serious
personal injury and / or damage to the workpiece and / or tool.
Kickback can be avoided by taking proper precautions:
1. Maintain a firm grip on the tool and position your body and arms to allow
you to resist kickback forces. Kickback will propel the tool in the direction
opposite to the wheel's movement at the time of snagging.
2. Never place your hand near the blade. If kickback occurs, the wheel may
pass over your hand and seriously injury you. Use clamps or a vice to hold
down the workpiece.
3. Use special care when working on corners, sharp edges etc. Corners,
sharp edges or bouncing have a tendency to snag the blade and cause loss
of control or kickback.
4. When the blade is binding, or when interrupting a cut for any reason,
release the trigger and hold the saw motionless in the material until the
blade comes to a complete stop. Never attempt to remove the saw from
the workpiece or pull the saw backward while the blade is in motion or
kickback may occur. Investigate and take corrective actions to eliminate the
cause of blade binding.
5. When restarting a blade in the workpiece, center the blade in the cut and
check that blade teeth are not engaged into the material. If saw blade is
binding, it may walk up or kickback from the workpiece as the cut-off saw
is restarted.
Visit www.princessauto.com for more information 7

8633695 High Speed Air Body Saw V 4.0
6. Support large panels to minimize the risk of blade pinching and kickback.
Large panels tend to sag under their own weight. Supports must be
placed under the panel on both sides, near the line of cut and near the
edge of the panel.
To minimize the risk of blade pinching and kickback, when cutting
operation requires the resting of the tool on the workpiece, the tool should
be rested on the larger portion and the smaller piece cut off.
7. Use extra caution when making a "plunge cut" into existing walls or other
blind areas. The protruding blade may cut objects that can cause kickback.
8. Only use blades designed for the tool. Do not use dull or damaged blades.
Unsharpened or improperly set blades produce narrow cuts causing
excessive friction, blade binding and kickback. Keep blades sharp and
clean. Gum and wood pitch hardened on blades slows the saw and
increases potential for kickback.
9. Never force the saw. Forcing the tool can cause uneven cuts, loss of
accuracy, and possible kickback. Push the tool forward at a speed so that
the blade cuts without slowing.
VIBRATION PRECAUTIONS
This tool vibrates during use. Repeated or long-term exposure to vibration may
cause temporary or permanent physical injury, particularly to the hands, arms
and shoulders.
1. Anyone using vibrating tools regularly or for an extended period should
first be examined by a doctor and then have regular medical check-ups to
ensure medical problems are not being caused by or worsened from tool
use. Pregnant women or people who have impaired blood circulation to the
hands, past hand injuries, nervous system disorders, diabetes, or
Raynaud’s Disease should not use this tool. If you feel any medical
symptoms related to vibrations (such as tingling, numbness, and white
or blue fingers), seek medical attention as soon as possible.
2. Do not smoke during use. Nicotine reduces the blood flow to the hands
and fingers, increasing the risk of vibration-related injury.
3. Wear suitable gloves to reduce the vibration effects on the user.
8 For technical questions call 1-800-665-8685

12 For technical questions call 1-800-665-8685

V 4.0 High Speed Air Body Saw 8633695
LUBRICATION
Only use air tool oil to lubricate the tool. Other lubricants may not be suitable
and could damage the tool or cause a malfunction during use.
1. It is very important that the tool be properly lubricated. Without proper
lubrication, the tool will not work properly and parts will wear prematurely.
Manually dropping a drop or two of air tool oil once a day into the tool's
male connector is better than using an automatic in-line lubricator, which
should only be required when there are multiple users of the same tool.
2. Apply a few drops of oil to the throttle
lever (13). Work the throttle lever a few
times to distribute the oil.
3. Keep the air line lubricator filled and
correctly adjusted. The in-line lubricator
should be regularly checked and filled
with air tool oil. Proper adjustment of
the in-line lubricator is performed by placing a sheet of paper next to the
exhaust ports and holding the throttle open approximately 30 seconds. The
lubricator is properly set when a light stain of oil collects on the paper.
Excessive amounts of oil should be avoided.
4. Air tool oil is the only recommended lubricant for use in all air tools. Do
not try to use other types of lubricants to oil your tools. Using the wrong
lubricant will cause premature tool failure and / or loss of power. Use only
recommended lubricants, specially made for pneumatic applications.
Substitutes may harm the rubber compounds in the tool's O-rings and
other rubber parts.
5. Oiling your air tool regularly is important, but also is important not to
OVER oil your air tool. Over oiling can cause premature tool failure. Your
tool may not be ruined, but it will begin to experience loss of power that
will continually get worse until it no longer works. The tool then has to be
taken apart and cleaned of excess oil.
Visit www.princessauto.com for more information 13

8633695 High Speed Air Body Saw V 4.0
6. All air tools are packed in grease to prevent corrosion of internal parts
during shipping and storage. We recommend that you clean this out to
have optimum performance from your new air tool. Use two drops of air
tool oil to lubricate the tool and run the tool under no load until exhaust
is clear.
7. In the event that it becomes necessary to store the tool for an
extended period of time (overnight, weekend, etc.), it should receive
a generous amount of lubrication at that time. The tool should be run
for approximately 30 seconds to ensure oil has been evenly
distributed throughout the tool. The tool should be stored in a clean
and dry environment.
NOTICE! NEVER use a penetrating oil to lubricate the tool. Penetrating oil
may act as a solvent that can break down the grease and cause the tool to
seize up.
STORAGE
When not in use for an extended period, apply a thin coat of lubricant to the
steel parts to avoid rust. Remove the lubricant before using the tool again.
DISPOSAL
Recycle a tool damaged beyond repair at the appropriate facility.
