2. Safety Instructions

General power tool safety warnings:

• Work Area Safety: Keep your work area clean and well-lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents. 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. Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.
• Electrical Safety: 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. 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. Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
• Personal Safety: 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. 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.
• Power Tool Use and Care: 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. 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. 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.
• Battery Tool Use and Care: Recharge only with the charger specified by the manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for one type of battery pack may create a risk of fire when used with another battery pack. Use power tools only with specifically designated battery packs. Use of any other battery packs may create a risk of injury and fire.

6. Operating Instructions

6.1. Powering On and Off

1. To start the saw, press the safety lock button (if present) and then squeeze the variable speed trigger. The integrated LED light will illuminate the work area.
2. To stop the saw, release the variable speed trigger.

6.2. Variable Speed Control

The saw features a variable speed trigger. The further you depress the trigger, the faster the blade will move. This allows for precise control over cutting speed, which is crucial for different materials and applications.

• Use lower speeds for cutting metal or delicate materials to prevent overheating and improve control.
• Use higher speeds for cutting wood or plastic for faster material removal.

6.3. Cutting Techniques

• General Cutting: Hold the saw firmly with both hands. Place the shoe of the saw against the workpiece. Start the saw before contacting the material. Apply steady, even pressure.
• Plunge Cutting: For cutting into the middle of a workpiece, ensure the blade is sharp. Tilt the saw so the shoe is resting on the workpiece and the blade is angled away. Start the saw and slowly pivot it down until the blade plunges through the material.
• Cutting Metal: Use a metal-specific blade. Apply cutting oil to the blade and workpiece to reduce friction and heat. Use a slower speed.
• Cutting Plastic: Use a fine-tooth blade. Use a moderate speed to avoid melting the plastic.

7. Maintenance

7.1. Cleaning

After each use, disconnect the battery and clean the saw. Use a soft cloth to wipe down the exterior. Remove any sawdust or debris from the ventilation openings and blade clamp area. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.

7.2. Blade Care

Regularly inspect blades for sharpness and damage. Dull or damaged blades can cause kickback and reduce cutting efficiency. Replace blades as needed using the tool-free blade change mechanism.

7.3. Storage

Store the saw in a clean, dry place, out of reach of children. Remove the battery pack before storing for extended periods. Avoid storing in direct sunlight or extreme temperatures.
