Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in
electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
The term “power tool” in all of the warnings listed below
refers to your mains operated (corded) power tool or battery
operated (cordless) power tool.
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
of 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

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.

NOTE:
To ensure accurate cutting when using the Guide
(Fig.11), always set the orbital position to “0”.
2. Sawing curved lines
When sawing a small circular arc, reduce the feeding
speed of the machine. If the machine is fed too fast, it
could cause the blade to break.
3. Cutting a circle or a circular arc
The guide also will be helpful for circular cutting.
After attaching the guide by same way noted as above,
drive the nail or screw into the material through the
hole on the guide, then use it for an axis when cutting.
(Fig. 12)
(2) In other materials
When cutting a window hole in materials other than
lumber, initially bore a hole with a drill or similar tool
from which to start cutting.
6. Angular cutting
The base can be swiveled to both sides by up to 45°
for angular cutting. (Fig. 14)

4. Cutting metallic materials
(1) Adjust the speed Dial between scales “3” and “4”.
(2) Set the orbital position to “0” or “I”.
(3) Always use an appropriate cutting fluid (spindle oil,
soapy water, etc.). When a liquid cutting fluid is not
available, apply grease to the back surface of the
material to be cut.
5. Pocket cutting
(1) In lumber
Aligning the blade direction with the grain of the
wood, cut step by step until a window hole is cut in
the center of the lumber. (Fig. 13)

Adapter
NOTE:
Dial scale reading is for reference only. The higher
the speed is, the quicker the material is cut. But the
service life of the blade will be reduced in this case.
When the speed is too low, cutting will take longer,
although the service life will be prolonged. Make
adjustments as desired.
It is impossible for CJ110M to control the blade
operating speed.
Therefore do not cut stainless steel plate with CJ110M.
2. Set the orbital position to “0”
NOTE:
