General Instructions & Safety Warnings

Read all safety warnings and all instructions. Failure to follow the warnings and instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.

• Work Area Safety

Keep the work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.

Use clamps or other practical ways to secure and support the workpiece to a stable platform. Holding the work by hand or against your body is unstable and may lead to loss of control.

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.

Keep from babies & children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.

Store idle power tools out of the reach of babies and children, do not allow people unfamiliar with the power tool or these instructions to operate the power tool. Clean and store tools properly to prevent injury. Power tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.

• Personal Safety

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.

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

Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the off position before connecting to power source and / or battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool.

Do not overreach. Always keep proper footing and balance. This enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.

• Power Tool and Accessory Use and Care

Wear personal protective equipment. Depending on application, use face shield, safety goggles or safety glasses. As appropriate, wear dust mask, hearing protectors, gloves and workshop apron capable of stopping small abrasive or workpiece fragments. The eye protection must be capable of stopping flying debris generated by various operations. The dust mask or respirator must be capable of filtrating particles generated by your operation. Prolonged exposure to high intensity noise may cause hearing loss.

Keep bystanders’ safe distance away from work area. Anyone entering the work area must wear personal protective equipment. Fragments of workpiece or of a broken accessory may fly away and cause injury beyond immediate area of operation.

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.

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.

Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or energizing power tools that have the switch on invites accidents.

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.

Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, break- age of parts and any other condition that may affect the power tool’s operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools.

Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc. in accordance with these instructions, considering 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.

The rated speed of the accessory must be at least equal to the maximum speed marked on the power tool. Accessories running faster than their rated speed can break and fly apart.

The outside diameter and the thickness of your accessory must be within the capacity rating of your power tool. Incorrectly sized accessories cannot be adequately guarded or controlled.

Do not use a damaged accessory. Before each use inspect the accessory such as abrasive wheels for chips and cracks, backing pad for cracks, tear or excess wear, wire brush for loose or cracked wires. If power tool or accessory is dropped, inspect for damage or install an undamaged accessory. After inspecting and installing an accessory, position yourself and bystanders away from the plane of the rotating accessory and run the power tool at maximum no-load speed for one minute. Damaged accessories will normally break apart during this test time.

Hold the power tool by insulated gripping surfaces only, when performing an operation where the cutting accessory may contact hidden wiring or its own cord. Cutting accessory contacting a “live” wire may make exposed metal parts of the power tool “live” and could give the operator an electric shock.

Use the correct accessories for specific material or application.

Never lay the power tool down until the accessory has come to a complete stop. The spinning accessory may grab the surface and pull the power tool out of your control.

Do not run the power tool while carrying it at your side. Accidental contact with the spinning accessory could snag your clothing, pulling the accessory into your body.

Do not use accessories that require liquid coolants. Using water or other liquid cool- ants may result in electrocution or shock.

Confirm proper clamping by ensuring that the top of the accessory flange surface is not above the top of the accessory height gage. Accessories that are above the accessory height gage may not be clamped properly and separate from the tool causing personal injury and/or property damage.

Always inspect the accessory mount and accessory clamping flange before use. Do not use the tool or accessory if the accessory is damaged or deformed. Accessories that are not clamped properly may cause personal injury and/or property damage.

Never place your hand near the rotating accessory. Accessory may kick back over your hand.

Use special care when working corners, sharp edges etc. Avoid bouncing and snagging the accessory. Corners, sharp edges or bouncing tend to snag the rotating accessory and cause loss of control or kickback.

• GENARAL INSTRUCTIONS

Securely clamp the workpiece. Use clamps or another practical way to secure and support the workpiece to a stable platform.

Use the correct blade for the material being cut and keep extra blades on hand to use when others become dull. Replace cracked or bent blades immediately. Never use the wood cutting blade for cutting metals. Failure to do so could result in personal injury.

Always hold the tool with one hand on the handle and the other hand placed on the insulated rubber boot over the front housing.

Keep hands away from cutting area. Do not reach under the material being cut.

Before starting to cut, turn tool "ON" and allow the blade to come to increasing speed.

Select the appropriate cutting speed according to different working materials.

Cutting speeds should vary with the workpiece. Hard materials, such as metals, require lower speeds; use higher speeds for softer materials, such as soft wood. 

Don’t force the cutting. Let the saw and blade do the work. When operating the saw continuously and for prolonged periods of time, the gearbox may become hot to the touch. To reduce the risk of injury, wear gloves during saw operation.

Make certain all adjusting screws and the blade holder are tight before making a cut. Loose adjusting screws and holders can cause the tool or blade to slip and loss of control .

• INSTALL THE BLADE 

1. Use one hand to rotate the blade clamp sleeve in the direction of the arrow marked on the sleeve, and then hold it in place.

2. Use the other hand to insert the saw blade into the blade clamp as far as possible.

3. Release the blade clamp sleeve; the blade should be locked in place automatically.

4. Try to push in and pull out the blade to check whether it is locked correctly.

• REMOVE THE BLADE 

1. Use protective gloves when removing the saw blade from the tool, or first allow the saw blade to cool down. The saw blade may be hot after prolonged use.

2. Use one hand to rotate the blade clamp sleeve in the direction of the arrow marked on the blade clamp and then hold it in place.

3. Remove the saw blade from the blade clamp.

4. Release the blade clamp sleeve.

• USE THE FOOTPLATE

The footplate tilts in order to keep as much of its surface in contact with the work surface. Keep the saw footplate firmly against the workpiece to minimize vibration.

To adjust the footplate position, simply push the footplate release button and move it into the desired position.

Make sure that the saw blade must not contact footplate.

Do not push the footplate release button while sawing. It will cause the footplate to release from the desired settings and you may lose control and be injured.

To reduce the risk of injury, be sure the blade extends beyond the footplate and all the way through the workpiece throughout the stroke.

• GENERAL USAGE

1. Make sure that the workpiece is firmly clamped in place to keep it from slipping or moving while cutting.

2. Install the appropriate type and size of blade for the workpiece material and size.

3. Check the footplate to make sure that the blade will extend beyond the footplate and through the workpiece at all times.

4. Check for clearance behind the workpiece so that the blade will not contact another surface.

5. Hold the saw firmly with both hands. Make sure to keep your hands on the insulated gripping areas only.

6. Depress the lock-off button to the unlock position and squeeze the variable-speed trigger switch to start the saw and bring it to the maximum desired cutting speed before applying the blade to the workpiece.

7. Place the footplate firmly on the workpiece while cutting. Use only enough steady pressure on the blade to keep the saw cutting. Do not force the tool.

8. Reduce pressure as the blade comes to the end of the cut.

9. Allow the saw to come to a complete stop before removing the blade from the workpiece.

• PLUNGE CUT

The reciprocating saw can be used to make plunge cuts into softer material, (for example, soft wood or light building materials for walls), without a starting hole.

Do not plunge cut into metal surfaces, into thick materials and into harder materials. Such materials can be cut with the recip saw only by starting the cut from the edge of the material or from a hole drilled all the way through the material that is large enough to fit the saw blade.

WARNING : When plunge cut into walls or floors you may encounter electrical wiring. Sawing into a “live” wire will conduct electricity into the tool and possibly cause serious injury.

• MAINTENANCE

To avoid serious personal injury, always remove the battery pack from the tool when cleaning or performing any maintenance.

When sawing fiberglass, plaster, wallboard, or spackling compound, clean the motor vents frequently with a vacuum or with compressed air. These materials are highly abrasive and may accelerate the wear on motor bearings and brushes.

Use dry compressed air to clean dust and debris from the blade holder assembly on a regular basis.

Always wear safety goggles when cleaning tools with compressed air.

• GENARAL INSTUCTIONS

Keep in mind that your tool will perform best with the correct oscillating accessories to do the work for you, so choose the right accessory first.

Do not use dull or damaged blade, which can cause excessive friction, blade binding and kickback.

With the workpiece firmly secured, turn the tool on.

Hold the oscillating tool in your hand and feel its weight and balance. Depending on the application, you will need to adjust your hand position to achieve optimum comfort and control.

Never force the blade. Apply moderate pressure to guide the tool. Excessive pressure will result in poor handling and vibration.

When holding the tool, do not cover the air vents with your hand. Blocking the air vents could cause the motor to overheat.

Keep hands away from all cutting edges and moving parts. Do not reach underneath the workpiece.

Contact the workpiece with the tool after the tool has reached its full speed and remove it from the work before switching the tool off. 

•  SAWING/CUTTING

Install a sawing/cutting blade at an angle easy to use. Properly clamp the workpiece. Set the right speed dial. Start the tool and allow it to reach full speed. Use moderate pressure to avoid burning or scorching the workpiece.

To make a cut, pass the tool back and forth over the work. Cut a little material on each pass until it reaches the desired depth.

While keeping the teeth of the blade in the work surface, move the back of the tool in a slow sideways motion. This motion will help expedite the cut.

Select a medium to high speed for making plunge cut, after making your initial cut, you can increase speed for faster cutting ability.

To reduce the risk of explosion, electric shock and property damage, always check the work area for hidden gas pipes, electrical wires or water pipes when making plunge cut.

• GROUT REMOVING

Before selecting a grout blade, measure the grout line width to pick the appropriate blade. Select a medium to high speed.

To remove the grout, use a back-and-forth motion. Try and keep the blade aligned with the grout line and be careful not to apply too much side pressure on the blade.

If you notice the grout removal blade clogging during the removing process, you can use a brass brush to clean the grit, thus exposing the grit again.

• SCRAPING 

Scrapers are suitable for removing old coats of varnish or adhesives, removing bonded carpeting.

Install a scraping blade at an angle easy to use. 

With the scraper, make sure that the screw head does not contact surface during the scraping process.

• SANDING

Install a sanding backing pad at an angle easy to use. Attach a sanding disc to fit the backing pad.

Sand with continuous motion and light pressure. Don’t apply excessive pressure - let the tool do the work.

Use special care when working corners, sharp edges etc. Avoid bouncing and snagging the accessory. Corners, sharp edges or bouncing tend to snag the rotating accessory and cause loss of control or kickback.

Position the cord clear of the spinning accessory. If you lose control, the cord may be cut or snagged, and your hand or arm may be pulled into the spinning accessory.

Clean the flanges, spindle before installation. Ensure plates are of the same diameter.

The guard must be securely attached to the power tool and positioned for maxi- mum safety, so the least amount of wheel is exposed towards the operator. The guard helps to protect the operator from broken wheel fragments, accidental contact with wheel and sparks that could ignite clothing.

Wheels must be used only for recommended applications. For example: do not grind with the side of cut-off wheel. Abrasive cut-off wheels are intended for peripheral grinding, side forces applied to these wheels may cause them to shatter.

Always use undamaged wheel flanges that are of correct size and shape for your selected wheel. Proper wheel flanges support the wheel thus reducing the possibility of wheel breakage. Flanges for cut-off wheels may be different from grinding wheel flanges.

Do not “jam” the cut-off wheel or apply excessive pressure. Do not attempt to make an excessive cut. Over- stressing the wheel increases the loading and susceptibility to twisting or binding of the wheel in the cut and the possibility of kickback or wheel breakage.

Do not position your body in line with and behind the rotating wheel. When the wheel, at the point of operation, is moving away from your body, the possible kick- back may propel the spinning wheel and the power tool directly at you.

Do not restart the cutting operation in the workpiece. Let the wheel reach full speed and carefully reenter the cut. The wheel may bind, walk up or kickback if the power tool is restarted in the workpiece.

Do not attempt to cut large stock or sheets of metal as this machine is not de- signed to be a dedicated cut-off machine.

Threaded mounting of accessories must match the grinder spindle thread. For accessories mounted by flanges, the arbors hole of the accessory must fit the locating diameter of the flange. Accessories that do not match the mounting hardware of the power tool will run out of balance, vibrate excessively and may cause loss of control.

Verify that the arrow on the blade matches the direction of rotation of the machine.

The spindle diameter and the bore hole of the cutting blade must match. Do not enlarge the bore hole of the cutting blade.

Do not position your body in the area where power tools will move if kickback occurs. Kickback will propel the tool in direction opposite to the wheel’s movement at the point of snagging.

Ensure the blade is balanced and run true before operation.

Only dry cutting is allowed for angle grinder applications.
