Plunge Cutting


WARNING: Hold saw firmly with both hands for all
cutting operations.

WARNING: Inspect work area for hidden electrical
wiring, gas pipes or water pipes before making blind
or plunge cuts. Failure to do so may result in electrical
shock, fire, explosion, or property damage.

WARNING: ALWAYS use safety glasses. Everyday
eyeglasses are NOT safety glasses. Also use face or
dust mask if cutting operation is dusty. ALWAYS WEAR
CERTIFIED SAFETY EQUIPMENT.

WARNING: CUT HAZARD. Before cutting any type of
material, be sure it is firmly anchored or clamped to
prevent slipping.

WARNING: CUT HAZARD. Let the tool work at its own
pace. Do not overload, blade breakage may occur.
To Make a Cut
1. Clearly mark the desired cutting area.
2. Switch the tool on before applying pressure and
slowly feed the blade into the work piece at the
marked location.

WARNING: CUT HAZARD. Ensure the blade is not in
contact with cutting surface before starting tool.
3. Advance the blade along the cutting line or plunge it
further down the line until cut is completed. Don't force
the tool; let the blade cut at its own speed.
4. Switch the tool off.
NOTE: Always use the appropriate type of saw blade for
the work piece material and type of cut. Cut only with sharp
blades; they cut cleaner, faster and put less strain on the
motor while cutting.

WARNING: Fire hazard. When working on metal
surfaces, do not use a vacuum cleaner because
sparks are generated. Wear safety glasses and a
dust mask. Due to the danger of fire, do not use your
sander to sand magnesium surfaces. Do not use for
wet sanding.
Always ensure the work piece is firmly held or clamped
to prevent movement. Any movement of the material
may affect the quality of the cutting or sanding finish.
Do not start sanding without having the sandpaper
attached to sanding platen.
Use coarse grit paper to sand rough surfaces,
medium grit for smooth surfaces and fine grit for the
finishing surfaces. If necessary, first make a test run on
scrap material.
Excessive force will reduce the working efficiency and
cause motor overload. Replacing the accessory regularly
will maintain optimum working efficiency.
Do not allow the sandpaper to wear away, it will
damage the sanding pad.
If the tool overheats, especially when used at low speed,
set the speed to maximum and run it with no load for
2–3 minutes to cool the motor. Avoid prolonged usage
at very low speeds. Always keep the blade sharp.

injury, turn unit off and disconnect it from
power source remove the battery pack before

attachments or accessories. An accidental start-up
can cause injury.
