Safety instructions

GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS

WARNING ! Read all safety warnings, instructions,
illustrations and specifications provided with this
power tool. Failure to follow all instructions listed
below may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious
injury. Save all warnings and instructions for future
reference. The term “power tool” in the warnings
refers to your mains-operated (corded) power tool or
battery-operated (cordless) power tool.

WORK AREA SAFETY

a) Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
b) Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the
presence of flammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks
which may ignite the dust or fumes.
c) Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool.
Distractions can cause you to lose control.

ELECTRICAL SAFETY

a) Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way.
Do not use any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodified
plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.
b) Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces, such as
pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of
electric shock if your body is earthed or grounded.
c) Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a
power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
d) Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or
unplugging the power tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or
moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.
e) When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable
for outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of
electric shock.
f) If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a
residual current device (RCD) protected supply. Use of an RCD reduces
the risk of electric shock.

12

PERSONAL SAFETY

a) 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 personalinjury.
b) Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection.
Protective equipment such as dust mask,non-skids afety shoes, hard hat, or
hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.
c) Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the off-

position before connecting to power source and/or battery pack,

icking up or carrying the tool. Carrying power tools with your finger on the

p

switch or energising power tools that have the switch on invites accidents.
d) Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power
tool on. A wrench or a key left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may
result in personal injury.
e) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This
enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.
f) Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your
hair, clothing and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery
or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
g) If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and
collection facilities, ensure these are connected and properly used. Use of
dust collection can reduce dust-related hazards.
h) Do not let familiarity gained from frequent use of tools allow you to
become complacent and ignore tool safety principles. A careless action can
cause severe injury within a fraction of a second.

POWER TOOL USE AND CARE

a) Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your
application. The correct power tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for

which it was designed.
b) Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on and off. Any
power tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be
repaired.
c) Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or the battery pack from

the power tool before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or
storing power tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting

the power tool accidentally.
d) Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do not allow

persons unfamiliar with the power tool or these instructions to operate the
power tool.Power tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.

13

e) Maintain power tools. 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.
f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with
sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
g)

Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc. in accordance with
these instructions, taking into account the working conditions and the work
to be performed. Use of the power tool for operations different from those

intended could result in a hazardous situation.
h) Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry, clean and free from oil and
grease. Slippery handles and grasping surfaces do not allow for safe handling
and control of the tool in unexpected situations.

SERVICE

a) 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.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR YOUR SAW

CUTTING PROCEDURES

DANGER ! Keep hands away from cutting area and the blade. Keep

your second hand on auxiliary handle, or motor housing. If both hands
are holding the saw, they cannot be cut by the blade.

a) Do not reach underneath the workpiece. The guard cannot protect you
from the blade below the workpiece.
b) Adjust the cutting depth to the thickness of the workpiece. Less than a
full tooth of the blade teeth should be visible below the workpiece.
c) Never hold the workpiece in your hands or across your leg while cutting.
Secure the workpiece to a stable platform. It is important to support the work
properly to minimise body exposure, blade binding, or loss of control.
d) Hold the power tool by insulated gripping surfaces, when performing an

operation where the cutting tool may contact hidden wiring or its own cord.

Contact with a "live" wire will also make exposed metal parts of the power tool
"live" and could give the operator an electric shock.

14

e) When ripping, always use a rip fence or straight edge guide. This improves

the accuracy of cut and reduces the chance of blade binding.
f) Always use blades with correct size and shape (diamond versus round)
of arbour holes. Blades that do not match the mounting hardware of the saw
will run off-centre, causing loss of control.
g) Never use damaged or incorrect blade washers or bolt. The blade washers
and bolt were specially designed for your saw, for optimum performance and
safety of operation.

KICKBACK CAUSES AND RELATED WARNINGS

Kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched, jammed or misaligned saw blade,
causing an uncontrolled saw to lift up and out of the workpiece toward the operator.
When the blade is pinched or jammed tightly by the kerf closing down, the blade
stalls and the motor reaction drives the unit rapidly back toward the operator. If the
blade becomes twisted or misaligned in the cut, the teeth at the back edge of the
blade can dig into the top surface of the wood causing the blade to climb out of the
kerf and jump back toward the operator.

Kickback is the result of saw misuse and/or incorrect operating procedures or
conditions and can be avoided by taking proper precautions as given below.

a) Maintain a firm grip with both hands on the saw and position your arms to

resist kickback forces. Position your body to either side of the blade but not
in line with the blade. Kickback could cause the saw to jump backwards, however,

if precautions are taken, kickback forces can be controlled by the operator.

b) When the blade is binding, or when interrupting a cut for any reason,

release the trigger and hold the saw motionless in the workpiece until the
blade comes to a complete stop. Never attempt to remove the saw from the

work or pull the saw backward while the blade is in motion or kickback may occur.
Investigate and take corrective action to eliminate the cause of blade binding.
c) When restarting a saw in the workpiece, centre the saw blade in the kerf
so that the saw teeth are not engaged into the material. If a saw blade binds,
it may walk up or kickback from the workpiece as the saw is restarted.
d) Support large panels to minimise the risk of blade pinching and kickback.
Large panels tend to sag under their own weight. Supports must be placed
under the panel on both sides, near the line of cut and near the edge of the panel.
e) Do not use dull or damaged blades. Unsharpened or improperly set blades
produce narrow kerf causing excessive friction, blade binding and kickback.

15

f) Blade depth and bevel adjusting locking levers must be tight and secure
before making the cut. If blade adjustment shifts while cutting, it may cause
binding and kickback.
g) Use extra caution when sawing into existing walls or other blind areas.
The protruding blade may cut objects that can cause kickback.

GUARD FUNCTION

a) Check the guard for proper closing before each use. Do not operate the
saw if the guard does not move freely and enclose the blade instantly. Never
clamp or tie the guard so that the blade is exposed. If the saw is accidentally

dropped, the guard may be bent. Check to make sure that the guard moves freely
and does not touch the blade or any other part, in all angles and depths of cut.
b) Check the operation and condition of the guard return spring. If the guard

and the spring are not operating properly, they must be serviced before use.

The guard may operate sluggishly due to damaged parts, gummy deposits, or a
build-up of debris.
c) Assure that the base plate of the saw will not shift while performing a
“plunge cut”.Blade shifting sideways will cause binding and likely kick back.
d) Always observe that the guard is covering the blade before placing the
saw down on bench or floor. An unprotected, coasting blade will cause the saw
to walk backwards, cutting whatever is in its path. Be aware of the time it takes for
the blade to stop after the switch is released.
The following information applies to professional users only but is good practice
for all users:

ADDITIONAL SAFETY WARNING FOR CONSTRUCTION DUST

The updated Control of Substances Hazardous to Health Regulations 1st

October 2012 now also targets to reduce the risks associated with silica, wood
and gypsum dusts.
Construction workers are one of the at-risk groups within this because of the
dust that they breathe: silica dust is not just a nuisance; it is a real risk to your
lungs!
Silica is a natural mineral present in large amounts in things like sand, sandstone
and granite. It is also commonly found in many construction materials such as
concrete and mortar. The silica is broken into very fine dust (also known as
Respirable Crystalline Silica or RCS) during many common tasks such as
cutting, drilling and grinding Breathing in very fine particles of crystalline silica
can lead to the development of:

16

Lung cancer Silicosis Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disorder (Chronic
obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) And breathing in fine particles of wood
dust can lead to the development of Asthma The risk of lung disease is linked to
people who regularly breathe construction dust over a period of time, not on the
odd occasion.

To protect the lung, the COSHH Regulations sets a limit on the amount of these
dusts that you can breathe (called a Workplace Exposure Limit or WEL) when
averaged over a normal working day. These limits are not a large amount of dust:
when compared to a penny it is tiny – like a small pinch of salt:

This limit is the legal maximum; the most you can breathe after the right controls
have been used.
How to reduce the amount of dust?

1. Reduce the amount of cutting by using the best sizes of building products.

2. Use a less powerful tool e.g. a block cutter instead of angle grinder.

3. Using a different method of work altogether – e.g. using a nail gun to
direct fasten cable trays instead of drilling holes first.
Please always work with approved safety equipment, such as those dust
masks that specially designed to filter out microscopic particles and use the
dust extraction facility at all time.
For more information please see the HSE website:
http://www.hse.gov.uk/construction or http://www.hse.gov.uk/pubns/cis69.pdf

WARNING ! Some dust particles created by power sanding, sawing,
grinding, drill and other construction jobs contain chemicals known to
cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some
examples of these chemicals are:

- Lead from lead-based paints.

- Crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry
products.

- Arsenic and chromium from chemically treated timber.

- Your risk from these exposures varies, depending upon how often
you do this type of work. To reduce your exposure to these
chemicals:

- Work in a well-ventilated area.

- Work with approved safety equipment, such as those dust masks
that are specially designed to filter microscopic particles.

VIBRATION

The European Physical Agents (Vibration) Directive has been brought in to
help reduce hand arm vibration syndrome injuries to power tool users. The
directive requires power tool manufacturers and suppliers to provide indicative
vibration test results to enable users to make informed decisions as to the period
of time a power tool can be used safely on a daily basis and the choice of tool.

SEE TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS IN THE INSTRUCTION MANUAL FOR THE
IBRATION LEVELS OF YOUR TOOL.

The declared vibration emission value should be used as a minimum level
and should be used with the current guidance on vibration.
Calculating the actual period of the actual period off use can be difficult and
the HSE website has further information.

The declared vibration emission been measured in accordance with a standardised
test stated above and may be used to compare one tool with another tool.
The declared vibration emission value may also be used in preliminary assessment
of exposure.

WARNING ! The vibration emission value during actual use of the
power tool can differ from the declared value depending on the ways
in which the tool is used dependant on the following examples and
other variations on how the tool is used:

- How the tool is used and the materials being cut or drilled.

- The tool being in good condition and well maintained.

- The use the correct accessory for the tool and ensuring it is sharp
and in good condition.

- The tightness of the grip on the handles.

- And the tool is being used as intended by its design and these
instructions.

While working with this power tool, hand/arm vibrations occur. Adopt the correct
working practices in order to reduce the exposure to vibration. This tool may
cause hand-arm vibration syndrome if its use is not adequately managed.

18

WARNING ! Identify safety measures to protect the
operator that are based on an estimation of exposure in
the actual conditions of use (taking account of all parts of
the operating cycle such as the times when the tool is
switched off and when it is running idle in addition to the
trigger time).

Note : The use of other tools will reduce the users’ total
working period on this tool.

Helping to minimise your vibration exposure risk. ALWAYS use sharp chisels,
drills and blades.
Maintain this tool in accordance with these instructions and keep well lubricated
(where appropriate).
Avoid using tools in temperatures of 10ºc or less. Plan your work schedule to
spread any high vibration tool use across a number of days.

HEALTH SURVEILLANCE

All employees should be part of an employer’s health surveillance scheme to
help identity any vibration related diseases at an early stage, prevent disease
progression and help employees stay in work.

SET CUTTING DEPTH

The cutting depth can be set between 0-67mm.
For best results, less than a full blade tooth should be visible below the
workpiece.

1. Loosen the depth adjustment knob (14) and slide it to the desired cutting
depth according to the depth scale (16) to set the cutting depth. (A)

Note : The graduated values on the depth scale (16)
apply for 90 degree cuts, using the track. The guide rail
track compensation (15) must be tilted up when using
the Plunge Saw without track.

Using the track = guide rail track compensation down.
Not using the track = guide rail track compensation lever up. (B)

2. Tighten the depth adjustment knob (14). The motor or respectively the saw
blade can now be pushed down to the set cutting depth.
For a clean, safe cut set the cutting depth in such way that only max. one saw
blade tooth protrudes under the work piece.

Note eht kcehc ot relur a esu ,lacitirc si ycarucca nehW :

depth and make test cuts on a scrap piece of material.

23

Note : Maximum cutting depth for working without track
can reach 67mm in special case if the track
compensation lever is set in “down” position. The real
cutting depth is then 5mm more than the indicated
value on the scale. This setting shall only be applied if
the ordinary maximum cutting depth for working
without track (62mm) is insufficient.

SET CUTTING ANGLE

The Plunge Saw can be angled between 0° and 48°. (C)

1. Loosen the front and rear bevel lock knobs (4 and 12).

2. Pivot the body of the saw until the bevel angle pointer adjacent to the front
bevel lock aligns with the bevel angle required on the bevel scale (13).

3. Tighten the bevel lock knobs firmly.

4. The saw is now secured ready for cutting at the bevel angle required.

Note : When accuracy is critical, use a set square (not
provided) to check the angle and make test cuts on a
scrap piece of material.

PREPARING THE TRACK

TRACK PACK(D1)

The track pack includes:

• 1 x track bag

• 2 x 700mm lengths of track for optimum performance of the Plunge Saw

• 2 x track connectors (Note: each connector consists of two parts)

• 1 x 3mm hex key

Note : There are two piece protective sleeves on both

noitamrofed kcart diova hcihw kcart hcae fo sdne lanimret

and damage during transportation. Remove the

24

protective sleeves from both ends of the track before
using the track. (D1)

Note : Before first use and from time to time as needed,
apply a light spray of lubricant so that the saw will glide
smoothly along the length of the track. Do not allow
dust, shavings or other debris to build up on the track.

CONNECTING RODS FOR TRACK(D2-D5)

Using the track connectors supplied in the track pack, you can connect lengths
of track for long cuts. Each track connector (d) comprises a spacer (a) and an
expansion bar (b) with four

hex screws (c). Assemble each connector by fitting
the spacer (a) to the side of the expansion bar (b) opposite the heads of the
hex screws. (D2)

1. Thread one track connector into the upper clamp channel (on the face of a
length of the track).

2. Ensure that the heads of the hex screws are facing away from the track and
therefore accessible.

3. Position the connector half way into the channel, so that one of hex screws
is within the channel and the head is exposed.

4. Tighten the hex screw clockwise to secure the half of the connector connect
to the track. (D3)

5. Now repeat this procedure, inserting the second connector into the lower
clamp channel (on the underside of the track).

6. Again, ensure the heads of the hex screws are accessible, and secure the
second connector in position by tightening the hex screw anti-clockwise. (D3)

7. Guide the free ends of the two track connectors into the clamp channels of
the second track. (D4)

8. Tighten the hex screws on the face and underside of the second track and
ensure all hex screws fixed firmly. (D5) Ensure that the two halves of the track
are fitted together securely.

SWITCH ON/OFF

1. Press the plunge lock button (1) and then the ON/OFF switch (2) to switch
the saw on.

2. Release the ON/OFF switch (2) to switch the saw off. (E)

Note : Pressing the plunge lock button (1) unlocks the
plunge cut mechanism at the same time, so that the
motor can be moved downwards. The saw blade
emerges from the protective cover. When lifting the
saw the motor slides back into the initial position.

25

DETERMINE CUTTING LINE

Two cutting lines are marked on the base plate (6) of the Plunge Saw.

1. Align position A (0 mark on base plate) at the front of the base plate with
your marked cutting line when using the saw without track for straight cuts.
For 45° mitre cuts align position B (45 mark on base plate) at the front of the
base plate with your marked cutting line. (F)

2. When using the saw with track always align position A (0 mark on base
plate) at the front of the base plate with your marked cutting line for straight
cuts and 45° mitre cuts.

SPEED SETTING(G)

The speed regulator allows variation of the motor speed between 2000 and
5000 /min.
The cutting speed should be adjusted for the respective materials.
Turn the speed regulator towards 1 to reduce the motor speed; turn the adjusting
wheel towards 6 to increase the speed.
The respective motor speed depends on type and thickness of the work piece.
Observe directions below for cutting materials with the appropriate speed:
Speed range 1 – 3:
Gypsum fiberboard, plastics (soft)
Speed range 4 – 5:
Plastics (hard), fiber-reinforced plastics (GRP), paper and fabrics, particle and
hard boards, acrylic glass (Perspex)
Speed range 5 – 6:
Solid wood (hard, soft), plywood, core boards, veneered and coated boards,
plastic-coated boards, MDF boards
Notes: At higher speed settings you cut the material faster, but this reduces the
life cycle of the saw blade.
Reduce the speed for clean cuts in heat-sensitive and soft materials.
Do not use the speed regulation to use saw blades for lower nominal speed.
Only use saw blades with a minimum speed of 6000 rpm.

26

Use

INTENDED USE

The Plunge Saw is intended to cut wood and similar materials, gypsum and
cement-bonded fibre materials and plastics. With compatible special saw blades
(not provided) the Plunge Saw can also be used to cut aluminium.
The Punge Saw is only to be used with a specifically designed track. Installation
in a different or homemade track or workbench can cause serious accidents.

OPERATION

Operation of the Plunge Saw without track

• Before each use check the proper function of all installation fixtures of the Plunge
Saw and only use the saw if everything works properly.

• Attach the work piece in such way that it cannot move or bend during work. (H)
Line the work piece respectively.

MODE SELECTION

The mode selector barrel enables fast and easy setting of the major functions
simply by rotating the mode selector (18) to the required mode of operation. (I)

Blade change

Free plunge, for general cutting

Scribe, for a scribe cut of 2.5mm

Correct working with the Plunge Saw

• Always hold the Plunge Saw with both hands at the main handle (3) and auxiliary
handle (17).

• Always guide the Plunge Saw forward. Never draw the Plunge Saw back!

• Place the Plunge Saw with the front part of the base plate (6) on the work piece.
Guide the Plunge Saw only against the work piece during operation.

• With the correct forward speed, you prevent overheating of the saw blade, and
melting when cutting plastics.

Dust extraction

The saw is fitted with a 38mm dia. dust extraction outlet (24) suitable for use with
a dust collection bag (31) or for connection to a vacuum system.
See the section ‘Dust Collection Bag’ for details of the dust collection bag.
Put the connection adapter (29) onto the dust extraction outlet (24) and adjust it
to a suitable position to avoid the wood chips or dust being directed at the body( J).

27

Note : Check the adapter connects firmly before using
the vacuum cleaner.

MARKED CUTTING

SETTING SCRIBE MODE

Scribe mode locks the depth of cut at 2.5mm. An initial scribe cut helps to
prevent friction on the blade, particularly when deep plunge cuts are required.
It is also useful for the initial cut on veneered or melamine laminates.

to raise the saw from the workpiece.

11. After completing the cut, release the ON/OFF switch and allow the blade to
come to a complete stop before removing the saw from the track.

30

ANTI-KICKBACK

The anti-kickback knob (8) is designed to prevent operator injuries due to
kickback. The anti-kickback knob (8) counteracts the movement if you try to
guide the Plunge Saw on the guide rail back or if the saw kicks back, e.g. due
to the saw blade jamming.

Rotate the anti-kickback knob (8) to the ‘0’ position (before you place the saw
in the track). (O)

Note : When you slide the saw onto the guide rail of the
track, the anti - kickback feature is automatically
engaged. (P)

Note : If kickback does occur, check that the track is not
damaged before continuing with the cut.

USING THE FINE ADJUSTMENT KNOBS

The fine adjustment knobs (7 and 10) enable you to remove excessive play
between the track and the saw to ensure cutting accuracy as the saw moves
along the track.

saw in the track. For a bevel cut, lock the saw to the
track by rotating the track lock (9) to the ‘I’ position and
set the anti-kickback knob (8) to the ‘I’ position.

1. Check that the track lock (9) and anti-kickback knob (8) are in the ‘0’
position.

2. Engage the saw in the track.

3. Rotate the track lock (9) in to the ‘I’ position.

4. Loosen the front and rear bevel lock knobs (4 and 12) and swivel the Plunge
Saw to the desired graduation. Tighten the both bevel lock knobs again. (Refer
to “Set cutting angle” section)

5. Rotate the mode selector (18) to free plunge position or scribe mode for a
scribe cut. (Refer to “Mode selection” section)

6. Set the desired plunge depth. Ensure that the guide rail track compensation
(15) is in down position when using the saw with track. (Refer to “Set cutting
depth” section)

7. To switch the saw on press the refer to previous comment (1) and the ON/
OFF switch (2). Allow the blade to reach full speed, plunge the blade to your
set depth. Guide the saw forward to cut.

8. After completing the cut, release the ON/OFF switch and allow the blade to
come to a complete stop before removing the saw from the track.

Note : To prevent the saw from kicking back during
plunge cuts follow these steps: Hold the Plunge Saw in
both hands and slowly lower the saw blade. The
cutting width indicators (19) show the foremost and
rearmost cutting points of the saw blade (Ø 185mm) at
maximum cutting depth and when using the track.

32

USING OTHER OPTIONAL ACCESSORIES

WORK CLAMPS

Work clamps are ideal for clamping track quickly and securely to the workpiece
for fast, accurate cutting.

1. Place the track on the workpiece and align it along the cutting line.

2. Thread the thin top arm of one clamp into the lower clamp channel (running
along the underside of the track).

3. Squeeze the clamp handle to raise and secure the grip to the underside of the
workpiece.(T2; T3)

4. Repeat the procedure at the other end

of the track. (T1; T2; T3)

5. Depress the lock button (a) to release the clamp and remove it from the
workpiece. (T4;T5)

Note : Clamp can also be inserted into the upper clamp
channel (on the face of the track).

PARALLEL GUIDE (U1; U2; U3)

• In certain circumstances, it may not be possible to use the track. In such cases
the saw can be used with the Parallel Cutting Guide. This enables accurate cuts
parallel to the edge of the workpiece without use of the track.

• The parallel cutting guide can be used on the left or the right of the blade.

1. Loosen the front and rear parallel guide fixing screws (5 and 11) on the saw.

2. Slide the parallel guide into the mounting slots in the saw base plate.

3. Use a ruler to set the distance from the blade to achieve the required width of
the cut.

4. Re-tighten both the parallel guide fixing screws to secure the parallel
guide in position.

DUST COLLECTION BAG

• For a cleaner, safer working environment, the dust collection bag is designed
for use with the Plunge Saw.

• This dust collection bag has a 1000ml capacity and will collect the majority of
the dust from the cut.

• The non-woven material ensures a high filtering capacity and a vision panel
makes it is easy to see when the bag needs emptying.

• For optimum efficiency, do not allow the bag to become more than ¾ full
before emptying.

• The dust collection bag connects with the connection adapter and simply
push-fits onto the dust extraction outlet (24). (V)
