Stanley SPT900, Original Instructions Manual

Page: 6 / 28

When assessing vibration exposure to determine safety
measures required by 2002/44/EC to protect persons regularly
using power tools in employment, an estimation of vibration
exposure should consider, the actual conditions of use and the
way the tool is used, including taking account of all parts of
the operating cycle such as the times when the tool is
switched off and when it is running idle in addition to the
trigger time.
Labels on tool
The following symbols are shown on the tool along with the
date code :
Warning! To reduce the risk of injury, the user must
read the instruction manual.
Wear ear protectors. Exposure to noise can cause
hearing loss
Wear appropriate safety goggles with side shields
Wear appropriate dust mask
Risk of Fire. Do not cover ventilation ducts. Keep
flammable objects away
Risk of Electric Shock. Properly connect power cord
to appropriate outlet
Electrical safety
This tool is double insulated; therefore no earth wire
is required. Always check that the power supply
corresponds to the voltage on the rating plate.
• If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the
manufacturer or an authorised STANLEY Service Centre
in order to avoid a hazard.
Using an extension cable
Always use an approved extension cable suitable for the
power input of this appliance (see technical data). The
extension cable must be suitable for outdoor use and marked
accordingly. Up to 30 m of 1.5 mm2 HO5VV-F extension cable
can be used without loss of product performance.
Before use, inspect the extension cable for signs of damage,
wear and ageing. Replace the extension cable if damaged or
defective. When using a cable reel, always unwind the cable
completely.
Features
This tool includes some or all of the following features.
1. Variable Speed trigger switch
2. Blade clamp collar
3. Pivot shoe
4. Saw blade
Assembly
Warning! Before attempting any of the following operations,
make sure that the tool is switched off and unplugged and that
the saw blade has stopped. Used saw blades may be hot.
Fitting the saw blade (fig. B)
• Hold the tool away from the body
• Rotate the blade clamp collar collar (2) anti-clockwise.
• Insert the shank of the blade (4) fully into the blade clamp
collar (2).
• Release the blade blade clamp collar (2) to lock the blade
into position.
Note The blade can be installed with the teeth up to assist in
flush cutting.
Removing the saw blade (fig. B)
Warning! Burn hazard: Do not touch the blade immediately
after use. Contact with the blade may result in personal injury.
• Rotate the blade clamp collar (2) anti-clockwise.
• Remove blade (4)
Adjusting the pivot shoe (fig. C, D)
The retracted blade length should be longer than the width of
the workpiece. If the blade is shorter, the tip will jam in the
workpiece during cutting, possibly causing injury and
damaging the blade or workpiece. To adjust the pivot shoe (3)
and the blade extension:
• Loosen both cap screws on the underside of the front
cover.
• Adjust the pivot shoe (3) in or out as needed as shown in
figure D .
• Tighten the cap screws. Do not over tighten.
Use
Warning!
Let the tool work at its own pace. Do not overload.
Warning! Never use the tool when the pivot shoe is loose or
removed.
Switching on and off (fig. E)
The variable speed on/off switch offers a choice of speeds for
greatly improved cutting rates in various materials.
• To switch the tool on, press the variable speed switch (1).
The speed depends on how far you depress the switch.
• To switch the tool off, release the variable speed switch.
Sawing
• Always hold the tool with both hands.
• Let the blade run freely for a few seconds before starting
the cut.
• Apply only a gentle pressure to the tool while performing
the cut.
• If possible, work with the pivot shoe plate (3) pressed
against the workpiece. This will improve tool control and
reduce tool vibration, as well as prevent the blade from
being damaged.
