SAVE THESE WARNINGS AND INSTRUCTIONS
YOU MAY NEED TO REFER TO THEM LATER

The term “power tool” in the warnings refers to your mains-operated (corded) power tool or battery-operated (cordless) power tool.

SAFETY WARNINGS AND INSTRUCTIONS

a) This manual contains important safety and operating instructions.
b) Be sure that any attachments are recommended or sold by MOTORHEAD; use of attachments by other manufacturers may not meet the same requirements and can result in fire, electric shock, or injury.
c) Never pull by the cord – always pull by the plug when disconnecting.
d) Never open the power tool – there are no parts inside that are serviceable by the customer.
e) NEVER incinerate the power tool when it is ready to be discarded. It can explode in a fire.

General power tool safety warnings-Work area safety

  • Keep 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.

General power tool safety warnings- 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • Be sure to use electrical supplies that are suitable for the conditions. If working outdoors, use extension cords rated for outdoor use (marked “W-A” or HWn) – this reduces the risk of electrical shock.
  • If you have to work in a damp location, be sure to use a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) protected supply. This will help reduce the risk of electrical shock.

General power tool safety warnings- 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.

  • When battery pack is not in use, keep it away from other metal objects, like paper clips, coins, keys, nails, screws or other small metal objects, that can make a connection from one terminal to another. Shorting the battery terminals together may cause burns or a fire.

  • Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from the battery; avoid contact. If contact accidentally occurs, flush with water. If liquid contacts eyes, additionally seek medical help. Liquid ejected from the battery may cause irritation or burns.

  • Do not use a battery pack or tool that is damaged or modified. Damaged or modified batteries may exhibit unpredictable behaviour resulting in fire, explosion or risk of injury.

  • Do not expose a battery pack or tool to fire or excessive temperature. Exposure to fire or temperature above 130 °C may cause explosion.
    NOTE The temperature 130 °C can be replaced by the temperature 265 °F.

  • Follow all charging instructions and do not charge the battery pack or tool outside the temperature range specified in the instructions. Charging improperly or at temperatures outside the specified range may damage the battery and increase the risk of fire.
    General power tool safety warnings- Personal safety

General cutting
Clamp your work piece if it is portable. Rest the front shoe of the saw on your work piece (be sure the blade is not contacting the work piece) and start the saw, exerting enough pressure in the direction of the cut to keep the shoe pressed firmly against the work piece at all times. Do not force the cut or stall the saw. Don’t bend or twist the blade, let the tool and the blade do the work.
In general, coarser blades are for wood, plastics, and composites, and finer blades are for cutting metal. Chattering or vibration may indicate you need a finer blade or higher speed. If the blade overheats or clogs, it may indicate you need a coarser blade. Replace blades when they become dull. Dull blades will produce poor results and may overheat the saw.
Plunge cutting
Clearly mark the line of cut, from a convenient starting point within the cut out area. Place the tip of the blade over that point with saw parallel to the line of cut, slowly lower the saw until the bottom edge of the shoe rests on the workpiece and the blade is not touching the workpiece. Start the saw and allow it to attain full speed. With the saw resting on the shoe, slowly tilt the saw forward to lower the blade onto the cut line. Continue this motion until the saw blade is perpendicular to the workpiece.

Metal cutting
Blades specifically designated for cutting metals must be used for this purpose. You may use light oil as a coolant when cutting metal, this will prevent overheating of the blade, help the blade cut faster, and promote longer blade life.
