WARNING:
To reduce the risk of injury, user must read and understand
this operator’s manual as well as the operator’s manual for
the battery pack, charger, and power handle before use.
Ensure compatibility and proper fit of head and power handle
before using.
SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES
Hold power tools by insulating gripping surfaces when performing
an operation where the cutting tool may contact hidden wiring
or its own cord. Contact with a “live” wire will make exposed metal
parts of the tool “live” and shock the operator.
Use clamps or another practical way to secure and support the
workpiece to a stable platform. Holding the workpiece by hand
or against your body leaves it unstable and may lead to loss of
control.

WARNING:
Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry when operating tool. They
could get caught in moving parts causing serious injury. Keep
head away from tool and work area. Hair could be drawn into
tool causing serious injury.
WARNING:
Unsecured work could be thrown towards the operator
causing injury.
CUTTING
See Figure 4.
Hold the saw firmly in front of and clearly away from you. Make sure
blade is clear of any foreign material.
Mark the line of cut clearly.
Depress the switch trigger to start the cutting action. Allow the blade
to come to full speed, then move the blade into the work.
To cut, keep the teeth of the blade in the work surface and move the
back of the tool slowly in a constant sideways motion.
NOTE: If the line and writing on the blade looks blurry when in use,
you are using the correct amount of pressure. If they become clear,
you are using too much force.
CAUTION:
Do not force. Use only enough pressure to keep the saw
cutting. Let the blade and saw do the work. Use of excessive
pressure will cause strong vibrations to the tool, which may
result in broken blades and cause premature wear to the
tool’s motor.
WARNING:
Keep hands away from blades. Do not reach underneath work
or around or over the blade while blade is moving. Do not
attempt to remove cut material when blade is moving.
SANDPAPER SELECTION
Selecting the correct size grit and type sandpaper is an extremely im-
portant step in achieving a high quality sanded finish. Aluminum oxide,
silicon carbide, and other synthetic abrasives are best for power sanding.
Natural abrasives, such as flint and garnet are too soft for economical
use in power sanding.
In general, coarse grit will remove the most material and finer grit will
produce the best finish in all sanding operations. The condition of the
surface to be sanded will determine which grit will do the job. If the surface
is rough, start with a coarse grit and sand until the surface is uniform.
Medium grit may then be used to remove scratches left by the coarser grit
and finer grit used for finishing of the surface. Always continue sanding
with each grit until surface is uniform.

AVERTISSEMENT :
Pour réduire les risques de blessure, l’utilisateur doit lire et
comprendre le présent manuel d’utilisation ainsi que le manuel
d’utilisation du bloc-piles, du chargeur et de la poignée
motorisée avant de les utiliser. S’assurer que la tête et la
poignée motorisée sont compatibles et qu’elles sont installées
de la façon appropriée avant de les utiliser.
RÈGLES DE SÉCURITÉ PARTICULIÈRES
Lorsque l’outil est utilisé pour un travail risquant de le mettre en
contact avec des fils électriques cachés ou son propre cordon
d’alimentation, le tenir par les surfaces de prise isolées. En cas de
contact avec un fil sous tension, les parties métalliques exposées de
l’outil seraient électrifées, exposant l’opérateur à un risque de choc
électrique.
Utiliser des serre-joints ou un autre système approprié pour
maintenir fermement la pièce sur une surface stable. Une pièce
tenue à la main ou contre son corps est instable et peut causer une
perte de contrôle.

SANDING
See Figure 5.
Hold sander in front and away from you, keeping it clear of the work-
piece. Start sander and let the motor build to its maximum speed, then
gradually lower on the work with a slight forward movement. Move the
sander slowly over workpiece using forward and backward or side to side
strokes. Upon completion of sanding operation, always remove sander
from workpiece before turning it off.
Do no t fo rce.
The weight of the unit supplies adequate pressure, so let
the sandpaper and sander do the work. Applying additional pressure only
slows the motor, rapidly wears sandpaper, and greatly reduces sander
speed. Excessive pressure will overload the motor causing possible
damage from motor overheating and can result in inferior work. Any
finish or resin on wood may soften from the frictional heat. Do not allow
sanding on one spot too long as sander’s rapid action may remove too
much material, making the surface uneven.
