[. . . ] 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. A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury. Protective equipment such as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries. [. . . ] Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other condition that may affect the power tools operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control. Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc. , in accordance with these instructions and in the manner intended for the particular type of power tool, taking into account the working conditions and the work to be performed. Use of the power tool for operations different from intended could result in a hazardous situation. Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person using only identical replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained. Recommended for the use of a residual current device with a rated residual current of 30 mA or less. SPECIFICATIONS Voltage Input power Stroke per minute Stroke length Max cutting capacity Wood Steel 65 mm 6 mm 240 V 500 W 3000 min-1 19 mm 50 Hz FEATURES KNOW YOUR SAW Before attempting to use your saw, familiarize yourself with all operating features and safety requirements. ELECTRICAL CONNECTION Your saw has a precision built electric motor. It should be connected only to a power supply of the type specified by its rating plate. Rest the front of the saw base on the workpiece and align cutting edge of the blade with the line on your workpiece. Make sure the power cord is out of the way of saw blade and not in the line of cut. Start your saw and move it forward on the work surface. Apply downward pressure to keep the saw steady and only enough forward pressure to keep the blade cutting. 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. WARNING Do not force your saw. Forcing your saw may overheat the motor and break saw blades. SCROLL CUTTING TO INSTALL BLADES See Figure 2. Scroll cuts can be made with your saw by guiding the direction of the cut with applied pressure on the handle. WARNING WARNING Failure to unplug your saw could result in accidental starting causing possible serious injury. Rotate the quick release lever counter-clockwise and hold in position. Insert the saw blade into the groove in the roller guide, making sure the back of the saw blade is properly positioned in the groove. NOTE: Only T-shank saw blades can be used. [. . . ] We do not recommend plunge cutting on materials other than wood. Mark the line of cut clearly on the workpiece. Tilt your saw forward so that it rests on the front edge of the base and blade will not come in contact with the workpiece when the saw is turned on. Make sure the blade is inside the area to be cut.
