tool will be put under even more strain and it will not have a long
life span and will stop functioning. While guiding the tool forward,
do not back up and do not tilt it from side to side.
6 Once you have finished cutting, switch the tool off, wait for the tool
to come to a standstill, lift it from the workpiece (unless it’s already
out of the workpiece at the other end), lay it on the workbench.
If the blade gets stuck in the workpiece, switch off the power tool straight
away and using a tool open the cutting groove then free the blade and
extract it.
When cutting metals, continuously cool the blade by pouring a few drops
of cutting oil (not included), otherwise the blade will wear down quickly.
Warning: Do not use excessive quantities of fluid and do not pour it onto
the power tool.
To make pocket cuts, such as an opening (circle, square, etc.), drill a
hole inside the area you wish to cut out (hole Ø > blade width), grab the
power tool and slip the blade inside the hole you just made; switch the
tool on and proceed with your cut. For curved cuts, go slowly so you
don’t bend the blade.
For cutting vertical panels, start from the top part and move downward;
in this manner, the wood chips and sawdust will fall to the floor and not
toward you or the tool.
Ceiling cuts must be done with extreme caution and care: wear a safety
helmet. Do not do this type of cut in panels that produce dust (wood, etc.).
MAINTENANCE
!
!
WARNING! Before any checks or adjustment take the battery
out of the tool.
!
!
WARNING! Do not tamper or attempt to repair the power tool.
The working life and costs also depend on constant and meticulous
maintenance.
Take good care of your power tool and clean it regularly. In this way its
good working order will be ensured and its lifespan extended.
- Remove dust and machining residuals with a cloth or a brush with
soft bristles.
- Do not wet or spray water over the power tool - risk of internal infil-
trations.
- Do not use any flammables, detergents or solvents. The plastic parts
can easily be damaged by chemical agents.
- Remove any traces of resin that will deposit on the tool.
- Be careful when cleaning the switch, motor air vents, handgrips and
blade holder.
- Lubricate the blade holder with a little spray oil.
REPLACING THE BLADE
!
!
WARNING! Before any replacements, switch the tool off, wait for it
to come to a standstill, and take the battery out of the tool.
!
!
WARNING! After use, the blade reaches high temperatures: wait
for it to cool down before replacing it.
!
!
WARNING! The cutting parts can cause serious injuries – use
protective gloves!
!
!
WARNING! The assembly of the blade must be carried out with
absolute precision. Incorrect assembly causes very serious danger.
Before you start, carefully study the components and figure C. If you
are not familiar with handling and assembling mechanical components,
we recommend that you contact an authorised service centre.
1. Wear protective gloves.
2. Clean the blade holder area carefully using a non-metallic brush.
3. Operate the blade coupling device (5) by turning the ring (see fig. C)
4. Pull the blade outwards (5).
5. If necessary clean the blade holder housing.
6. Grab the new blade (5) by the toothed part and lubricate the shaped
end with a thin layer of grease
7. Keeping the coupling device activated, slide the shaped end into the
blade holder slot. The toothed edge of the blade should face toward
the bottom of the tool (fig. A).
8. Release the blade coupling device. Pull the blade outwards to check
it is fastened well.
9. Ensure the correct assembly of the components, that the screws
are tightened and the blade is secure.
10. Do a dry run for 1 minute, keeping the tool away from you.
