SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING! Read all instructions, Failure to follow all instructions listed below
may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

1. Work area

a. Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered and 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.

2. 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.

3. 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 personal injury.
b. Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Safety equipment
such as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used
for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.

c. Avoid accidental starting. Ensure the switch is in the off-position
before plugging in. Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or

plugging in 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.

800W ALL PURPOSE SAW

g. If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and
collection facilities, ensure these are connected and properly used. Use

of these devices can reduce dust-related hazards.

4. 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 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.
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.
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 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.

5. 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.

HEALTH ADVICE

WARNING! When drilling, sanding, sawing or grinding, dust particles will be

produced. In some instances, depending on the materials you are working with,
this dust can be particularly harmful to you (e.g. lead from old gloss paint).
You are advised to consider the risks associated with the materials you are
workingwith and to reduce the risk of exposure. You should:

-- Work in a well-ventilated area.

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

ADDITIONAL SAFETY RULES FOR YOUR ALL PURPOSE
SAWS

1. If the supply cord is damaged have it replaced by a qualified person.

2. Always check walls, floors and ceilings to avoid hidden power cables and pipes.

3. After long working periods external metal Parts and accessories could be hot.

4. Wear eye protection when operating this tool.

5. Always hold this saw firmly with both hands when operating. Only withdraw the
blade from the cut when the blade has stopped moving.

6. Before cutting check to ensure that the cutting line is free of nails, screws etc

7. The adjustable footplate must be held firmly against the material being cut to reduce
saw vibration, blade jumping and blade breakage.

8. Always use the appropriate safety equipment that is required for the product. e.g.
Goggles / Safety Spectacles, Ear defenders (essential with tools with a noise rating of
over 85dB(A), Gloves and face masks. In all cases ensure that the safety equipment is
in good condition.

Double insulation:

The tool is double insulated. This means that all the external metal parts are electrically
insulated from the mains power supply. This is done by placing insulation barriers
between the electrical and mechanical components making it unnecessary for the tool
to be earthed.

Important note

Remove the main plug from socket before carrying out any adjustment or servicing.
Ensure your mains supply voltage is the same as your tool rating plate voltage.

be sawn. We always recommend that you carry
out a test cut first.

3. To use the saw, put the front end of the front
foot on the material and turn the machine on.
Press the machine from above on to the material
and guide the saw along the cutting line.

4. Do not use too much pressure to achieve the
best progress when sawing, use light pressure on
the saw blade.
