• Keep the vents of the saw clean at all times. If possible, prevent foreign matter
from entering the vents.
• After each use, blow air through the saw housing and guard, to ensure it is
free from all dust particles which may build up. Build up of dust particles may
cause the saw to overheat and fail.
• If the enclosure of the saw requires cleaning, do not use solvents but a moist
soft cloth only. Never let any liquid get inside the saw; never immerse any part
of the saw into a liquid.
Carbon Brushes
When the carbon brushes wear out, the saw will
spark and/or stop. Discontinue use as soon as
this happens. They should be replaced prior to
recommencing use of the saw. Carbon brushes
are a wearing component of the saw therefore not
covered under warranty. Continuing to use the saw
when carbon brushes need to be replaced may cause
permanent damage to the saw. Carbon brushes will
wear out after many uses. When the carbon brushes need to be replaced,
take the saw to an electrician or a power tool repairer for a quick and low cost
replacement. Always replace both carbon brushes at the same time.
Note
: Ozito Industries will not be responsible for any damage or injuries caused
by the repair of the saw by an unauthorised person or by mishandling of the
saw.
•
Always hold the main handle with one hand and the side handle with
the other.
• Maintain a firm grip and operate the on/off switch with a positive
action.
• Always wait until the blades have reached full speed before
commencing to cut the workpiece.
• Always hold the saw so that the blades are at right angles to the
workpiece and the saw is inclined at an angle of approximately 30°.
• Always keep your body positioned behind the blades and to one side
– not directly behind the blades.
• Never force the saw. Use light and continuous pressure.
• When cutting is interrupted, to resume cutting, depress the lock-off
button and squeeze the on/off switch and allow the blade to reach
full speed, re-enter the cut slowly and resume cutting.
• The kerf (width of cut) is 4.5 mm. Allow for this width of cut when
sawing.
Sparking visible through the housing air vents
A small amount of sparking may be visible through the housing vents. This is
normal and does not indicate a problem.
Excessive sparking visible through the housing air vents and/or the saw failing to
operate may indicate the carbon brushes have worn out and need to be replaced.
Carbon brushes should only be replaced by a qualified electrician or power tool
repairer.

TWIN CUTTER SAFETY WARNINGS
WARNING!
When using mains-powered tools, basic safety precautions, including the
following, should always be followed to reduce risk of fire, electric shock, personal injury
and material damage.
Read the whole manual carefully and make sure you know how to switch the tool off in an emergency, before
operating the tool.
Save these instructions and other documents supplied with this tool for future reference.
The electric motor has been designed for 230V and 240V only. Always check that the power supply
corresponds to the voltage on the rating plate.
Note: The supply of 230V and 240V on Ozito tools are interchangeable for Australia and New Zealand.
This tool is double insulated in accordance with AS/NZS 60745-1; therefore no earth wire is required.
If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by an electrician or a power tool repairer in order
to avoid a hazard.
Note:
Double insulation does not take the place of normal safety precautions when operating this tool. The
insulation system is for added protection against injury resulting from a possible electrical insulation failure
within the tool.
Using an Extension Lead
Always use an approved extension lead suitable for the power input of this tool. Before use, inspect the
extension lead for signs of damage, wear and ageing. Replace the extension lead if damaged or defective.
When using an extension lead on a reel, always unwind the lead completely. Use of an extension lead not
suitable for the power input of the tool or which is damaged or defective may result in a risk of fire and electric
shock.
WARNING!
Read all safety warnings and all instructions.
Failure to follow the warnings and
instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for future reference. The term “power tool” in the
warnings refers to your mains-operated (corded) power tool or battery-operated (cordless) power
tool.
1. Work area safety
a.
Keep work area clean and well lit
. Cluttered or 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 or 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 (grounded) power tools.
Unmodified plugs and matching
outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.
b.
Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces, such as pipes, radiators, ranges and
refrigerators.
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.
f.
If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a residual current device (RCD)
protected supply.
Use of an RCD 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.
b.
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.
c.
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.
Carrying power tools with your
finger on the switch or energising power tools that have the switch on invites accidents.
d.
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.
e.
Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
This enables better control of the
power tool in unexpected situations.
f.
Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away
from moving parts.
Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
g.
If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure
these are connected and properly used.
Use of dust collection can reduce dust-related hazards.
4. Power tool use and care
a.
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.
b.
Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on and off.
Any power tool that cannot be
controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
c.
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.
d.
Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the
power tool or these instructions to operate the power tool.
Power tools are dangerous in the hands
of untrained users.
e.
Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage 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.
f.
Keep cutting tools sharp and clean.
Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are
less likely to bind and are easier to control.
g.
Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc. in accordance with these instructions, taking
into account 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.
5. Service
a.
Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person using only identical replacement
parts.
This will ensure that the safety of the power tool
is maintained.
b.
If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer,
its service agent or similarly qualified persons in order to avoid a hazard.
GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
0912
Side Handle
WARNING!
a)
DANGER: Keep hands away from cutting area and the blade.
Keep your second hand on
auxiliary handle, or motor housing. If both hands are holding the saw, they cannot be cut by the
blade.
b) Do not reach underneath the workpiece.
The guard cannot protect you from the blade below
the workpiece.
c) Adjust the cutting depth to the thickness of the workpiece.
Less than a full tooth of the blade
teeth should be visible below the workpiece.
d) Never hold piece being cut in your hands or across your leg.
Secure the workpiece to
a stable platform. It is important to support the work properly to minimize body exposure, blade
binding, or loss of control.
e) Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces when performing an operation where the
cutting tool may contact hidden wiring or its own cord.
Contact with a “live” wire will also make
exposed metal parts of the power tool “live” and shock the operator.
f) When ripping always use a rip fence or straight edge guide.
This improves the accuracy of
cut and reduces the chance of blade binding.
g) Always use blades with correct size and shape (diamond versus round) of arbour holes.
Blades that do not match the mounting hardware of the saw will run eccentrically, causing loss of
control.
h) Never use damaged or incorrect blade washers or bolt.
The blade washers and bolt were
specially designed for your saw, for optimum performance and safety of operation.
Further safety instructions for all saws
Causes and operator prevention of kickback:
− kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched, bound or misaligned saw blade, causing an
uncontrolled saw to lift up and out of the workpiece toward the operator;
− when the blade is pinched or bound tightly by the kerf closing down, the blade stalls and the motor
reaction drives the unit rapidly back toward the operator;
− if the blade becomes twisted or misaligned in the cut, the teeth at the back edge of the blade can
dig into the top surface of the wood causing the blade to climb out of the kerf and jump back toward
the operator.
Kickback is the result of saw misuse and/or incorrect operating procedures or conditions and can be
avoided by taking proper precautions as given below:
a) Maintain a firm grip with both hands on the saw and position your arms to resistkickback
forces. Position your body to either side of the blade, but not in line with the blade.
Kickback
could cause the saw to jump backwards, but kickback forces can be controlled by the operator, if
proper precautions are taken.
b) When blade is binding, or when interrupting a cut for any reason, release the trigger and
hold the saw motionless in the material until the blade comes to a complete stop. Never
attempt to remove the saw from the work or pull the saw backward while the blade is in
motion or kickback may occur.
Investigate and take corrective actions to eliminate the cause of
blade binding.
c) When restarting a saw in the workpiece, centre the saw blade in the kerf and check that
saw teeth are not engaged into the material.
If saw blade is binding, it may walk up or kickback
from the workpiece as the saw is restarted.
d) Support large panels to minimise the risk of blade pinching and kickback.
Large panels
tend to sag under their own weight. Supports must be placed under the panel on both sides, near
the line of cut and near the edge of the panel.
e) Do not use dull or damaged blades.
Unsharpened or improperly set blades produce narrow
kerf causing excessive friction, blade binding and kickback.
f) Blade depth and bevel adjusting locking levers must be tight and secure before making
cut.
If blade adjustment shifts while cutting, it may cause binding and kickback.
g) Use extra caution when making a “plunge cut” into existing walls or other blind areas.
The
protruding blade may cut objects that can cause kickback.
Safety instructions for saws with inner pendulum guards
a) Check lower guard for proper closing before each use.
Do not operate the saw if lower
guard does not move freely and close instantly. Never clamp or tie the lower guard into the
open position.
If saw is accidentally dropped, lower guard may be bent.
Raise the lower guard with
the retracting handle and make sure it moves freely and does not touch the blade or any other part,
in all angles and depths of cut.
b) Check the operation of the lower guard spring. If the guard and the spring are not
operating properly, they must be serviced before use.
Lower guard may operate sluggishly due
to damaged parts, gummy deposits, or a build-up of debris.
c) Lower guard may be retracted manually only for special cuts such as “plunge cuts” and
“compound cuts.” Raise lower guard by retracting handle and as soon as blade enters the
material, the lower guard must be released.
For all other sawing, the lower guard should operate
automatically.
d) Always observe that the lower guard is covering the blade before placing saw down on
bench or floor.
An unprotected, coasting blade will cause the saw to walk backwards, cutting
whatever is in its path. Be aware of the time it takes for the blade to stop after switch is released.
