SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

Vibration Hazard

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. To reduce the risk of vibration-related injury:

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 or worsened from use.
2. Pregnant women or people who have impaired blood circulation to the hand, past hand injuries, nervous system disorders, diabetes, or Raynaud’s Disease should not use this tool. If you feel any medical or physical symptoms related to vibration (such as tingling, numbness, and white or blue fingers), seek medical advice as soon as possible.
3. Do not smoke during use. Nicotine reduces the blood supply to the hands and fingers, increasing the risk of vibration-related injury.
4. Wear suitable gloves to reduce the vibration effects on the user.
5. Use tools with the lowest vibration when there is a choice between different processes.
6. Include vibration-free periods each day of work.
7. Grip tool as lightly as possible (while still keeping safe control of it). Let the tool do the work.
8. To reduce vibration, maintain the tool as explained in this If any abnormal vibration occurs, stop use immediately.

GROUNDING

TO PREVENT ELECTRIC SHOCK AND DEATH

FROM INCORRECT GROUNDING WIRE CONNECTION:

Check with a qualified electrician if you are in doubt as to whether the outlet is properly grounded. Do not modify the power cord plug provided with the tool. Never remove the grounding prong from the plug. Do not use the tool if the power cord or plug is damaged. If damaged, have it repaired by a service facility before use. If the plug will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.

Grounded Tools: Tools with Three Prong Plugs.

1. Tools marked with “Grounding Required” have a three-wire cord and three-prong grounding plug. The plug must be connected to a properly grounded outlet. If the tool should electrically malfunction or break down, pounding provides a low resistance path to carry electricity away from the user, reducing the risk of electric shock. (See 3-Prong Plug and )
2. The grounding prong in the plug is connected through the green wire inside the cord to the grounding system in the tool. The green wire in the cord must be the only wire connected to the tool’s grounding system and must never be attached to an electrically “live” terminal. (See 3-Prong Plug and Outlet.)
3. The tool must be plugged into an appropriate outlet, properly installed, and grounded in accordance with all codes and ordinances. The plug and outlet should look like those in the preceding illustration. (See 3-Prong Plug and Outlet.)

Double Insulated Tools: Tools with Two Prong Plugs

1. Tools marked “Double Insulated” do not require grounding. They have a special double insulation system that satisfies OSHA requirements and complies with the applicable standards of Underwriters Laboratories, Inc., the Canadian Standard Association, and the National Electrical Code. (See Outlets for 2-Prong Plug.)
2. Double insulated tools may be used in either of the 120-volt outlets shown in the preceding illustration. (See Outlets for 2-Prong Plug.)

EXTENSION CORDS

Grounded tools require a three-wire extension cord. Double insulated tools can use either a two or three-wire extension cord. As the distance from the power supply outlet increases, you must use a heavier gauge extension cord. Using extension cords with inadequately sized wire causes a serious drop in voltage, resulting in loss of power and possible tool damage. Refer to the table shown below to determine the required minimum wire size.

The smaller the gauge number of the wire, the greater the capacity of the cord. For example, a 14 gauge cord can carry a higher current than a 16 gauge cord. When using more than one extension cord to make up the total length, be sure each cord contains at least the minimum wire size required. If you are using one extension cord for more than one tool, add the nameplate amperes and use the sum to determine the required minimum wire size.

Guidelines for Using Extension Cords

• If you are using an extension cord outdoors, be sure it is marked with the suffix “W-A” (“W” in Canada) to indicate that it is acceptable for outdoor
• Be sure your extension cord is properly wired and in good electrical Always replace a damaged extension cord or have it repaired by a qualified person before using it.

Protect your extension cords from sharp objects, excessive heat, and damp or wet areas.

Tighten the screw. (Sec Fig. 4)

Use laser line generator

 

Warning: Do not stare directly at the laser beam. Never aim the beam at any person or an object other than the workpiece.
Do not deliberately aim the beam at personnel and ensure that it is not directed towards the eye of a person for longer than 0.25s.
Always ensure the laser beam is aimed at a sturdy workpiece without reflective surfaces i.e. Wood or rough-coated surfaces are acceptable. Bright shiny reflective sheet steel or the like is not suitable for laser use as the reflective surface could direct the beam back at the operator.
Only turn laser beam when tool is on the workpiece.
Turn on: the laser generator (13) works when turn this circular saw on.
Thum off: Press the ON/OFF switch (3) again.

1. Make a sure line of the cut on the workpiece.
2. Adjust the angle of the cut as required
3. Plugin the machine and start the motor
4. When the blade is at its maximum speed (approximately 2 seconds), place the saw on the workpiece.
5. Align the beam with the mark on the workpiece and slowly push the saw forward using both hands, keeping the red light beam on the mark.
6. Switch off this tool when completion of the cut.

Tighten the wing nut for the edge guide.
Cuffing-Orbital or Straight

Fig. 7

This jigsaw is equipped with four cutting actions, one straight and three orbital. Orbital action has a more aggressive blade motion and is designed for cutting in soft materials like wood or plastic. The orbital action provides a faster cut, but with a rougher cut across the material. In orbital action, the blade moves forward during the cutting stroke in addition to the up and down motion.
Note: Metal or hardwoods should never be cut in orbital action. To adjust the cutting action moves the orbital switch knob (9) between the four cutting positions: 0, I, II, and III. Position 0 is the straight cutting. Positions I, II, and III are orbital cutting. The aggressiveness of the cut increase as the knob is moved from one to three, with three being the most aggressive cut. (See Fig. 7)

Transfer switch for wind direction

Fig. 8

Slide the transfer switch backward and change the wind direction forward as the arrow shows on the above Fig. 8 that avoid sawdust cover previously marked line on the workpiece which it’s convenient for moving the tool forward along the previously marked line.

OPERATION

Caution:

Always hold the baseplate flush with the workpiece. Failure to do so may cause blade breakage, resulting in a serious injury.
Advance the tool very slowly when cutting curves or scrolling. Forcing the tool may cause a slanted cutting surface and blade breakage. Turn the tool on without the blade making any contact and wait until the blade attains full speed. Then rest the base plate flat on the workpiece and gently move the tool forward along the previously marked line.

Pocket & round cutting
When starting a cut from the center of a workpiece, drill a 12mm diameter hole to Original instructions to ensure that there is clearance for the blade.

1. When cutting tight curves, reduce the speed of the saw.

Warning: Do not move the saw forward along its cut until the blade has completely entered the material and the baseplate comes to rest on its surface.

Cutting metal

1. When cutting metals, suitable cooling/cutting oil must be used.
2. Squirt the lubricant onto the blade or workpiece at regular intervals during cutting in order to reduce wear on the blade.

Maintenance
