ADDITIONAL SAfETY
RULES fOR YOUR MINI
MULTI-fUNCTION SAW
1. Always wear a dust mask, hearing
protection and eye protection.
2. Only use saw blades recommended for use
with this model.
3. Always wear gloves when handling saw
blades and rough material. Saw blades
shall be carried in a holder whenever
practicable.
4. Fully unwind cable drum extension to
avoid potential overheating.
5. When an extension cable is required you
must ensure it has the correct ampere
rating for your power tool and is in a safe
electrical condition.
6. Ensure your mains supply voltage is the
same as indicated on the rating plate.
7 . Your mini multi-function saw is a hand held
tool, do not clamp your mini multi-function
saw to a workbench.
8. Before cutting, ensure the work piece is
free of nails, screws, etc.
9. Do not cut small work pieces with a mini
multi-function saw. If possible, use a
10
jigsaw.
10. Only make cuts with the blade direction
downwards, never upwards or at the side.
11. Do not use a blade unless the rated blade
speed exceeds the saw no load speed.
12. Never remove the guard system. Never
use the saw if the guard system does not
function correctly. Never lock the moving
guard open. The guard must move freely.
13. Always check walls, floors and ceilings to
avoid hidden power cable and pipes.
14. After long working periods external metal
parts and accessories could be hot.
15. Do not cut material containing asbestos.
16. Do not use mini multi-function saw to cut

17. Do not use any abrasive wheels.
SAFETy INSTRUcTIONS FOR ALL SAwS
wARNING
1. Keep hands away from the cutting
area and the blade. Keep your second
hand on the motor housing. If both
hands are holding the saw, they can not be
cut by the blade.
2. Do not reach underneath the work-
Mini multi-function saw
piece. The guard cannot protect you from
the blade below the work-piece.
3. Adjust the cutting depth to the
thickness of the work-piece. Less than
a full tooth of the blade teeth should be
visible below the work-piece.
4. Never hold piece being cut in your
hands or across your leg. Secure the
work-piece to a stable platform. It is
important to support the work properly to
minimize body exposure, blade binding, or
loss of control.
5. hold power tool by insulated gripping
surfaces when performing an
operation where the cutting tool may
contact hidden wiring or its own cord.
Contact with a "live" wire will lso make
exposed metal parts of the power tool
"live" and shock the operator.
6. when ripping always use a rip fence
or straight edge guide. This improves
the accuracy of cut and reduces the chance
of blade binding.
7. Always use blades with correct size
and shape of arbor holes. Blades that do
not match the mounting hardware of the
saw will run eccentrically, causing loss of
control.
8. Never use damaged or incorrect blade
washers or bolt. The blade washers and
bolt are specially designed for your saw,
for optimum performance and safety of
operation.

cAUSES AND OPERATOR PREVENTION
OF KIcKbAcK:
- Kickback is a sudden reaction to pinched,
bound or misaligned saw blade, causing an
uncontrolled saw to lift up and out of the
work-piece toward the operator;
- When the blade is pinched or bound tightly
by the work piece being cut, the blade
stalls and the motor reaction drives the unit
rapidly back toward the operator;
- If the blade becomes twisted or misaligned
in the cut, the teeth at the back edge of the
blade can dig into the top surface of the
wood causing the blade to climb out of the
material being cut and jump back toward
the operator.
