[. . . ] 9 Important! It is essential that you read the instructions in this manual before operating this machine. Subject to technical modifications. English GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS 3. Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a power tool. Do not use a power tool while you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. [. . . ] It should be connected only to a power supply of the type specified by its rating plate. Do not operate this tool on direct current (DC). A substantial voltage drop will cause a loss of power and overheating. If your tool does not operate when plugged into an outlet, double-check the power supply. SPECIAL SAFETY RULES It is advised to wear a dusk mask. Wait for the cutter to stop before setting the tool down. An exposed cutter may engage the surface leading to possible loss of control and serious injury. Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces, when performing an operation where the cutting accessory may contact hidden wiring or its own cord. Cutting accessory contacting a "live" wire may make exposed metal parts of the power tool "live" and could give the operator an electric shock. If the replacement of the supply cord is necessary, this has to be done by the manufacturer or his agent in order to avoid a safety hazard. This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety. Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance. LOW speed is ideal when minimum speed and power is required, for example starting cuts. MEDIUM speed is suitable for cutting hard metals, plastics and laminates. HIGH speed produces best results when maximum power is required, for example cutting wood. Soft metals such as aluminum, brass and copper also require high speeds. A convenient feature on your saw is the blade storage. The blade storage area is located on the back of dust port. It is convenient for storing extra blades when not in use. To open: Pull the door down with your thumb or finger. To close: Push the door up with your thumb or finger. WARNING Before connecting your saw to power supply source, always check to be sure it is not in lock-on position (depress and release trigger switch). Failure to do so could result in accidental starting of your saw resulting in possible serious injury. Also, do not lock the trigger on jobs where your saw may need to be stopped suddenly. TO INSTALL BLADES See Figure 3. [. . . ] A straight cut can be made by clamping a piece of wood or straightedge to the workpiece and guiding the edge of your saw against it. Make the cut from one direction only, do not cut halfway to complete the cut from the opposite end. Scroll cuts can be made with your saw by guiding the direction of the cut with applied pressure on the handle. WARNING To avoid loss of control, broken blades, or damage to the material being cut, always use extreme caution when making plunge cuts. We do not recommend plunge cutting on materials other than wood. [. . . ]
