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.

Safety Instructions

Work area safety

1. Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
2. 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.
3. Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.

Electrical safety

1. 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.
2. 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.
3. Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
4. 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.
5. 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.
6. 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. NOTE: The term residual current device (RCD) may be replaced by the term ground fault circuit Interrupter (GFCI) or earth leakage circuit breaker (ELCB).

Personal safety

1. 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.
2. 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.
3. 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 energizing power tools that have the switch on invites accidents.
4. 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.
5. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.
6. 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.
7. 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.

Power tool use and care

1. 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.
2. 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.
3. 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.
4. 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.
5. Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other condition that may affect the power tools oper-ation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools.

Additional safety rules

1. Warning: Do not use the tool before assembling and mounting it according to the instructions.
2. If you are not very familiar with the operation, ask your superior, master or other professional.
3. Wear safety glasses, mask, surgical mask, protective plate, head shield, safety shoes, long and tight sleeves and gloves.
4. Only use the reinforced emery wheel with a buffer.

• Turn the adjusting screw (clockwise) to increase the downward stroke of the cutting head.
• When the cutting head reaches a satisfactory downward stroke, tighten the adjustment screw lock tight nut.

Cutting angle adjustment
Note : The lower jaw can be turned over 45 degrees.

• The factory setting of the rear vice is 0⁰ (the blade is 90 degrees), so that the blade just passes through the material located in the vice. For angled cuts, the rear vice can swing through (up to) 45 degrees, and the vice jaws include angle measurement scale for easy setting.

• Make the jaw angle of the back vice:

  • Loosen M10 socket head cap screws and lever handle lock screws (Fig.8).
  • Rotate the rear vice jaws to the desired angle
  • Use the provided hex wrench to firmly tighten the hex screw, and then tighten the lever handle locking screw.
    Warning : The lever handle locking screw has a spring-loaded repositionable lever. It may be necessary to reposition the lever to ensure that the locking screw can be fully tightened when the rear vice jaws are angled. To reposition the lever on the screw, pull the lever up and rotate the lever to a convenient position (a position that allows tightening the screw) to release the lever and tighten the screw. Front vice jaws will automatically compensate for any set angle of therear jaws, or adapt to irregularly shaped workpieces.

• Reposition the rear vice
  The rear vice jaws can be removed from the machine base and repositioned (Fig.9).

• Repositioning steps:

  • Remove M10 socket screws and lever handle lock screws, and all the washers that lock the lower jaw to the machine base.
  • To remove the locking screw handled by the lever, use a flathead screwdriver to unscrew the locking screw from its maintenance position, and pull the lever and hold the spring.
  • After repositioning the vice jaws, since there are six on the machine base threaded holes, so there are three possible positions available.
  • Replace the locking screw and sleeve head screw with the lever new repair location. Make sure that all standard and lock washers are position correctly. Reposition the rear vice jaws to the rear position and enable cutting the rear tiger in a more forward position of wider block of jaws.

Quick adjustment mechanism

• For speed and convenience, the vice operating mechanism is equipped with quick forward rod. Use it to quickly adjust the front vice.

  Before clamping, pulling back slightly on the handle of the vice will help make sure to install the “Quick Install Nut”. Using without “quick-fitting nuts” is dangerous for the machine to fully mesh with the vice thread, do not try.

• Tighten the vice to fix the workpiece.

• Check the safety of the workpiece before cutting. Prepare for cutting according to operating instructions

• Maintain a good foothold and balance and stand aside.
  CAUTION : The minimum length of cut piece must be 8 mm (5/16 inch) or more longer to avoid the blade falling out of the blade slot and causing any potential danger (Fig.12).
  Warning : Freehand cutting is the main cause of accidents and should not be tasted.

• Make sure the workpiece is firmly fixed in the vice.

• Before clamping the workpiece in place, the machine base should be clean, no any chips or sawdust etc.

• After cutting, make sure that the “cut” material can be freely removed from the blade moves laterally. Make sure that the”cut-off” parts will not stuck.

• Do not use this saw to cut small pieces. If your hand is near the workpiece being cut within 150mm of the saw blade, the pieces are too small. The angle should be clamped in the inverted position so that the tip of the section on top.
