Unpacking Your Tool
• Carefully unpack and inspect your tool. Fully familiarise yourself with all its features and
functions
• Ensure that all parts of the tool are present and in good condition. If any parts are missing or
damaged, have such parts replaced before attempting to use this tool
Before Use
Fitting the quick connector
Note: This tool is supplied with two different male airline quick connectors:
EQ-4 – commonly used in Europe
EN-6 – mainly used in the UK
EQ-4
Europe
• Please choose the connector that is compatible with the airline system you are using, and install
as outlined below:
1. Apply some PTFE tape (not included) to the screw threads of the Quick Connector (1). This
will help to maintain an air tight seal
Note: Apply PTFE tape tightly and in a clockwise direction, so it does not come off when the thread
is screwed into the tool.
2. Remove the protective plug from the air inlet
3. Using a spanner (not included) screw the quick connector into the air inlet located at the
base of the handle
4. Connect to airline, pressurise carefully and carry out a leak check (e.g. by spraying
small amounts of soapy water on to the outside of the connectors)
• Air lines fitted with matching female quick connectors will now be a push fit to the tool
Fitting a blade
WARNING: Disconnect your tool from the air supply before carrying out any blade replacement,
adjustment or maintenance.
1. Use the Hex Keys (11) provided to unscrew the Blade Clamp Cover Screw (8) to access
the blade clamp
2. Unscrew the Blade Clamp Screws (7) by about half a turn each
3. Insert the Blade (6) into the clamp, making sure it passes the blade clamp screws fully
4. Check that the teeth of the blade are facing towards the blade clamp cover
5. Check that the blade is secure by pulling on it firmly
6. Tighten the blade clamp screws , close the cover and tighten the cover screw
Adjusting the guide
1. Loosen the Blade Guide Screws (4)
2. Slide the Blade Guide (5) in or out as required

REGULATOR AIR SUPPLY
• Ensure that water is drained from air system daily
• Ensure that all parts of the system (hoses, couplers, etc.) are correctly rated for the air
pressure to be used
Setting tool power
• The maximum tool speed/power can be adjusted by reducing/increasing the air supply pressure
within the range specified in 'Specifications'
• The Pressure Limiter (2) can be adjusted with a screwdriver to limit the maximum reciprocating
speed when the Speed Control Trigger (10) is fully depressed
• Whilst working with the tool, speed adjustments can be made via the speed control trigger
Operation
WARNING: This tool will be dangerous if there is insufficient air pressure and the reciprocating
action unexpectedly slows or stops while operating.
WARNING: This tool will create sharp edges and swarf material during use and the operating
temperature of the blade and workpiece may be too hot to touch.
WARNING: Do not operate this tool if the Safety Catch (9) is not operating correctly.
1. Hold the tool by its Handle (3) so that the teeth of the Blade (6) are facing away from you
2. The Speed Control Trigger (10) should sit under your fingers
3. Your thumb should wrap around the body/handle and your fingers should sit on the speed
control with the Safety Catch (9) between middle and index finger
4. WITHOUT applying any pressure to the speed control slide the safety catch towards the blade
5. You will feel the speed control trigger move in towards the body/handle slightly as the safety
catch releases
6. GENTLY squeeze the speed control in towards the handle
7. The blade will reciprocate. Squeeze the speed control further to increase the speed; release
to decrease the speed
8. Before starting to cut, make sure the Blade Guide (5) is firmly held against the workpiece
9. When you have finished cutting, release the speed control and allow the safety catch to engage
Note: DO NOT allow the saw to run in 'idle rotation' for an extended period of time. This will
shorten its life.
WARNING: Be aware that air tools may hold residual pressure after use. Always bleed air pressure
from the tool after shutting off air supply.
Accessories
• Accessories, including spare blades (product code 633549 - pack of 5), for this tool are available

Maintenance
WARNING: Always disconnect from the air supply and depressurise before cleaning or carrying out
any maintenance.
Cleaning
• Keep your tool clean at all times. Dirt and dust will cause internal parts to wear quickly, and
shorten the machine's service life. Clean the body of your machine with a soft brush, or dry cloth
IMPORTANT: There is very little that can go wrong with your air tool and it should be noted that
when an air tool fails to work it is generally because the internal workings have corroded due to
dirty, wet air and failure to follow the instructions given below.
Daily maintenance procedure: Disconnect from the air supply, pour the equivalent of a tablespoon
of oil into the air intake. Operate the machine at low speed to thoroughly lubricate all internal
workings.
• If the machine is in constant use or used for long periods at a time, a combined filter/lubricator
must be fitted. There must be an air filter fitted at all times
• Use air tool oil. DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES USE NORMAL ENGINE OIL
• Failure to comply with the operating and maintenance instructions may invalidate the guarantee
Storage
• Store this tool carefully in a secure, dry place out of the reach of children
Disposal
As with other power tools, air tools should not be disposed of with household waste
• Air tools may contain traces of tool oil and other lubricants and so must be recycled accordingly
• Contact your local waste disposal authority for information on the correct way to dispose of
power tools
