OPERATION
Functions and properties
Safety lever throttle and integrated regulator
10,000 saw movements per minute for smooth, rapid sawing
Adjustable blade guard for setting the cutting depth
Performs straight or curved cuts in metals (max. 1.6 mm), aluminium (max. 2.0 mm) and in
fibreglass in thicknesses up to 2.5 mm
Ideal for repairs to car panels, soundproofing work and installation of sunroofs
Compressed air supply
1.
Check that the air compressor being used to operate the tool is supplying the correct pressure.
2.
Turn the throttle switch to OFF when you connect the tool to the compressed air system.
3.
Use a pressure of 90 psi (or from 6.0 to 8.0 kg) to operate the tool. Excessive pressure levels and
contaminated air cause rapid wear and shorten the life of the tool, and can also create dangerous
situations.
4.
Empty the air tank every day. Water in the compressed air line can penetrate and damage the tool.
5.
Clean the air intake filter cassette each week. The diagram on the next page shows the
recommended connection of the compressed air system.
6.
The line pressure should be increased accordingly to compensate for extra long compressed air
hoses (normally longer than 8 metres). The minimum internal hose diameter (ID) should be 1/4"
and the couplings should have the same internal dimensions. However, a hose ID of 3/8” is
normally recommended for the supply of compressed air in order to optimise the function and
performance of the tool.
7.
Use appropriate hoses and couplings. We do not recommend the use of quick-release couplings
for direct connection to the tool, as these can cause faults due to vibrations. Instead use a feeder
hose with a coupling between the compressed air system and the connection hose to the tool.
8.
Keep the hoses away from heat, oil and sharp edges. Always inspect the hoses for wear before
use.

Storage
Do not store the tool in a location with a high humidity level. This can cause rust to form in the tool. Before
putting the tool away, lubricate it for a few seconds at the air intake using the correct spindle oil.
Disposal
When the life of the tool has expired, or if it is too damaged to be repaired, deposit the tool at a suitable
collection point for tools of this kind. Do not throw the tool into an open fire.
Ordering spare parts
Contact your dealer if you need to order spare parts (use the exploded view on the next page as
reference).
