WWAARRNNIINNGG::
Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling and
other construction activities contains chemicals known to the State of California
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,
and arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated lumber.
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you do this type
of work. To reduce your exposure to these chemicals: work in a well ventilated
area, and work with approved safety equipment, such as dust masks that are
specially designed to filter out microscopic particles.

If the blade makes contact with a live wire, the metal
parts of this tool may conduct enough electricity to seriously shock the user.
Contact with a “live” wire will make exposed metal parts of the tool “live” and
shock the operator. Do not cut or break into existing walls or other blind areas
where electrical wiring may exist. It this situation is unavoidable, disconnect all
fuses or circuit breakers feeding this worksite.

The pivoting shoe will pivot to follow the angle of the blade to the workpiece. This
action ensures the flat surface of the shoe is against the workpiece for better cutting action and easier control of the saw.
The shoe can be adjusted in or out, allowing the use of the blade teeth at different
points of the blade. This will provide longer blade life as one section of the blade
becomes dull.
• To adjust the pivoting shoe, loosen the two pivoting shoe hex screws on the
lower side of the saw using the 4mm hex key supplied.
• Slide the pivoting shoe in or out until it is in the appropriate position.

• When cutting metals other
then copper, brass or
aluminum, always use a
lubricant, such as cutting oil, to
keep the blade cool. This will
prolong the life of the blade as
well as speeding up the cutting
process.
• Make sure the work piece is
held securely in place. Hold
smaller pieces, such as pipe
or conduit, in a vise or attach
to the workbench with clamps.
• To eliminate vibration, always cut close to the clamping point.
• When cutting thin sheets of metal, place a piece of plywood on either side to control
vibration and prevent tearing.

By purchasing the product, purchaser expressly acknowledges and agrees that their
sole and exclusive remedy under this warranty shall be strictly limited to the repair
or replacement of any covered nonconforming items or parts thereof provided that
any such nonconforming item and/or part is promptly returned to Alltrade’s facility
postage pre-paid and insured (address: ALLTRADE Warranty Claims & Repair,
1431 Via Plata, Long Beach, CA 90810, Attn: Customer Service #1-800-590-3723)
within the applicable warranty period, with a written request by purchaser that
Alltrade repair and/or replace the nonconforming item and/or part. We recommend
that you keep the original product packaging in the event you need to ship the unit.
We suggest the package be insured against loss or in transit damage. When
sending your product include your name, address, phone number, dated proof
of purchase (or copy), and a statement about the nature of problem. Warranty
coverage is conditioned upon purchaser furnishing Alltrade with adequate written
proof that they are the original purchaser and of the original purchase date. Parts
returned, freight prepaid and insured, to Alltrade’s facility (see above address) will
be inspected and, at Alltrade’s option, repaired and/or replaced free of charge if
found to be defective and subject to warranty. Alltrade retains the sole discretion
to determine whether any item or part is nonconforming and, if so, whether the
item and/or part will be repaired and/or replaced. If the unit is repaired, new or
reconditioned replacement parts may be used. If Alltrade chooses to replace
the product, it may replace it with a new or reconditioned one of the same or
comparable design. The repaired or replaced unit will be warranted under the terms
of the remainder of the warranty period. Typically, a defective product that is
returned within the first 30 days after the purchase date will be replaced; for items
returned after the first 30 days and within the warranty period, covered defective
parts not subject to normal wear and tear or other exclusions will be repaired or
replaced, at Alltrade’s option. During the warranty period, Alltrade will be responsible for the return shipping charges. Alltrade’s repair and/or replacement of any nonconforming item and/or part thereof shall constitute fulfillment of all
obligations to the purchaser. Alltrade shall not be responsible or liable for any
expense, including freight charges, or repairs made outside Alltrade’s facility, unless
expressly agreed to by Alltrade in writing. Under no circumstances shall Alltrade
bear any responsibility for loss of the unit, loss of time or rental, inconvenience,
commercial loss or consequential damages.
