ENGLISH WARNING: Do not cut ferrous metals (steel), masonry, glass, masonry-type planking, cement board or tile with this saw. Do not use abrasive wheels or blades. A dull blade will cause slow inefficient cutting, overload on the saw motor, excessive splintering, and could increase the possibility of kickback. If you need assistance regarding blades, please call contact your local service center listed on the back of the manual. Prior to Operation • Make sure your battery pack is (fully) charged. • Make sure the guards have been mounted correctly. The saw blade guard must be in closed position. • Make sure the saw blade rotates in the direction of the arrow on the blade. • Do not use excessively worn saw blades. OPERATION WARNING: Turn unit off and disconnect battery pack before installing and removing accessories, before adjusting or when making repairs. Lock the trigger switch when the tool is not in use and when storing the tool. WARNING: Always wear proper personal hearing protection. Under some conditions and duration of use, noise from this product may contribute to hearing loss. Proper Hand Position (fig. 8) WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal injury, ALWAYS use proper hand position as shown. WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal injury, ALWAYS hold securely in anticipation of a sudden reaction. Hold the tool by the main grip (t) and the auxiliary handle (l) to guide the saw properly. Switching On and Off (fig. 1) For safety reasons the trigger switch (b) of your tool is equipped with a lock-off button (a). Press the lock-off button to unlock the tool. To run the tool, press the trigger switch (b). As soon as the trigger switch is released the lock-off switch is automatically activated to prevent unintended starting of the machine. NOTICE: Do not switch the tool ON or OFF when the saw blade touches the workpiece or other materials. Guiding the Tool (fig. 1) • For optimum results, clamp the workpiece bottom up. • Use the kerf indicator (i) to follow the line drawn on the workpiece. The kerf indicator lines up with the left side of the saw blade when set to 50° bevel. The kerf indicator lines up with the right side of the saw blade when set to 0° bevel. Instructions for Use WARNING: • Always observe the safety instructions and applicable regulations. • Ensure the material to be sawn is secured in place. • Apply only a gentle pressure to the tool and do not exert side pressure on the saw blade. If possible, work with the saw shoe pressed against the workpiece. This prevents damage to the blade and stops the tool from jerking and vibrating. • Avoid overloading. • Let the blade run freely for a few seconds before starting the cut. Dust Extraction (fig. 9) A dust extraction port (u) is supplied with your tool. • Always use a vacuum extractor designed in compliance with the applicable Directives regarding dust emission when sawing wood. Vacuum hoses of most common vacuum cleaners will fit directly into the dust extraction spout. TO INSTALL DUST EXTRACTION PORT (FIG. 9) 1. Fully loosen depth adjustment lever (d). 2. Place shoe (e) in the lowest position. 3. Align dust extraction port (u) against the bracket on the shoe as shown. 4. Align tab on the dust extraction port with the threaded hole on the bracket. 5. Insert screw and tighten securely. 44
