GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY
WARNINGS
WARNING:
Read all safety warnings and all
instructions.
Failure to follow the warnings and
instructions may result in electric shock, re 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.
1. WORK AREA SAFETY
a) Keep your work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or
dark areas invite accidents.
b) Do not operate power tools in explosive
atmospheres, such as in the presence of
ammable liquids, gases or dust.
Power tools
create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
c) Keep bystanders, children, and visitors away
while operating a power tool. Distractions can
cause you to lose control.
2. ELECTRICAL SAFETY
a) 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.
Unmodied plugs and matching outlets will reduce
risk of electric shock.
b) 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.
c) Do not expose power tools to rain or wet
conditions.
Water entering a power tool will
increase the risk of electric shock.
d) Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for
carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool.
900W TWIN BLADE SAW EN
7
Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges
or moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords
increase the risk of electric shock.
e) 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.
f) R
ecommendation for the use of a residual current
device with a rated residual current of 30 mA or less.
3. PERSONAL SAFETY
a) 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 inuence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A
moment of inattention while operating power tools
may result in serious personal injury.
b) 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.
c) 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
nger on the switch or energising power tools that
have the switch on invites accidents.
d) Remove adjusting keys or wrench before turning
the tool on
. A wrench or a key left attached to
a rotating part of the power tool may result in
personal injury.
e) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and
balance at all times
. This enables better control of
the power tool in unexpected situations.
f) 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.
g) If devices are provided for the connection of dust
extraction and collection facilities, ensure these
are connected and properly used. Use of these
devices can reduce dust-related hazards.
4. POWER TOOL USE AND CARE
a) 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.
b) 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.
c) 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.
d) 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.
e) Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or
binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and
any other condition that may affect the power
tools operation. If damaged, have the power tool
repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by
poorly maintained power tools.
f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly
maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges
are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
g) Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc.
in accordance with these instructions and in the
manner intended for the particular type of power
tool, taking into account the working conditions
and the work to be performed. Use of the power
tool for operations different from those intended
could result in a hazardous situation.
5. SERVICE
a) Have your power tool serviced by a qualied
repair person using only identical replacement
parts. This will ensure that that safety of the power
tool is maintained.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR TWIN
BLADE SAW
a) DANGER: Keep hands away from cutting
area and the blade.
If both hands are holding the saw, they cannot be
cut by the blade.
b) Do not reach underneath the workpiece. The
guard cannot protect you from the blade
below the workpiece.
c) Adjust the cutting depth to the thickness of the
workpiece. Less than a full tooth of
the blade teeth should be visible below the
workpiece.
d) Never hold piece being cut in your hands or
across your leg. Secure the workpiece to a
stable platform. It is important to support the work
properly to minimize body exposure, blade binding,
or loss of control.
e) 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 also make
exposed metal parts of the power tool “live” and
shock the operator.
f) Always use blades with correct size and shape
(diamond versus round) of arbour holes. Blades
that do not match the mounting hardware of the saw
will run eccentrically, causing loss of control.
g) Never use damaged or incorrect blade washers
or bolt. The blade washers and bolt were specially
designed for your saw, for optimum performance
and safety of operation.
FURTHER SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
FOR TWIN BLADE SAW
Causes and operator prevention of kickback:
. Kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched, bound
or misaligned saw blade, causing an uncontrolled
saw to lift up and out of the workpiece toward the
operator;
. When the blade is pinched or bound tightly by the
kerf closing down, 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 kerf and jump back toward the
operator.
Kickback is the result of saw misuse and/or
incorrect operating procedures or conditions and
can be avoided by taking proper precautions as
given below.
a) Maintain a rm grip on the saw and position your
arms to resist kickback forces. Position your body
to either side of the blade, but not in line with
the blade. Kickback could cause the saw to jump
backwards, but kickback forces can be controlled
by the operator, if proper precautions are taken.
b) When blade is binding, or when interrupting a
cut for any reason, release the trigger and hold
the saw motionless in the material until the
blade comes to a complete stop. Never attempt
to remove the saw from the work or pull the saw
backward while the blade is in motion or kickback
may occur. Investigate and take corrective actions
to eliminate the cause of blade binding.
c) When restarting a saw in the workpiece, centre
the saw blade in the kerf and check that saw teeth
are not engaged into the material. If saw blade
is binding, it may walk up or kickback from the
workpiece as the saw is restarted.
d) Support large panels to minimise the risk of blade
pinching and kickback. Large panels tend to sag
under their own weight. Supports must be placed
under the panel on both sides, near the line of cut
and near the edge of the panel.
e) Do not use dull or damaged blades. Unsharpened
or improperly set blades produce narrow kerf
causing excessive friction, blade binding and
kickback.
f) Use extra caution when making a “plunge cut”
into existing walls or other blind areas. The
protruding blade may cut objects that can cause
kickback.
Safety instructions for twin blade saw
Lower guard function
a) Check lower guard for proper closing before each
use. Do not operate the saw if lower guard does
900W TWIN BLADE SAW EN
9
not move freely and close instantly. Never clamp
or tie the lower guard into the open position. If
saw is accidentally dropped, lower guard may be
bent. Raise the lower guard with the retracting
handle and make sure it moves freely and does not
touch the blade or any other part, in all angles and
depths of cut.
b) Check the operation of the lower guard spring.
If the guard and the spring are not operating
properly, they must be serviced before use. Lower
guard may operate sluggishly due to damaged
parts, gummy deposits, or a build-up of debris.
c) Lower guard may be retracted manually
only for special cuts such as “plunge cuts”
and “compound cuts.” Raise lower guard by
retracting handle and as soon as blade enters
the material, the lower guard must be released.
For all other sawing, the lower guard should operate
automatically.
d) Always observe that the lower guard is covering
the blade before placing saw down on bench or
oor. An unprotected, coasting blade will cause the
saw to walk backwards, cutting whatever is in its
path. Be aware of the time it takes for the blade to
stop after switch is released.
ADDITIONAL SAFETY RULES FOR
YOUR TWIN BLADE SAW
1. Only use saw blades recommended in the
specication.
2. Always wear a dust mask, hearing protection and
eye protection.
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 twin blade saw is a hand held tool, do not
clamp your twin blade saw.
8. Before cutting, check the cutting line is free of nails,
screws, etc.
9. Do not cut small workpieces with a twin blade saw. If
possible, use a 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, oors 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.

bottom saw blade and remove it.
4. INSTALLING SAW BLADES
Pull the mains plug out of the socket and allow the
saw to cool down before starting any assembly,
modication and servicing work. This will prevent
the saw being started by accident. Place the saw in
front of yourself so that the saw blade shaft points
upwards. Pull back the Lower Guard(2).
Place the bottom saw blade with the holes spaced
further apart on the saw blade mounting. The saw
blade must t perfectly in the mounting (D1).
Now t the top saw blade with the closer together
holes on the saw blade mounting. The saw blade
must t perfectly in the mounting (D2).
Fit the clamping screw again and tighten it by hand
(D3).
Press the Spindle Locking Button(1). Turn the saw
blade in opposite directions until they lock.
Tighten the clamping screw by turning it clockwise
using the Spanner(7) supplied. Carefully turn the saw
blades by hand to ensure that they have been tted
correctly.
NOTE: Never use blunt saw blades since this could
result in their teeth being damaged. Replace blunt
saw blades without delay.
WARNING!
I. Keep the saw blades clean and sharp at all times.
Ensure that the saw blades are tted correctly. A
blunt saw blade will reduce the cutting capacity,
place additional strain on the saw’s motor and
increase the risk of recoil.
II. Ensure that you always have spare saw blades
available. In the event that resin and pitch residue
get on to the saw blade, the blade’s speed will be
reduced.
III. Remove these residues straight away using
special resin removal products, hot water or
kerosene.
IV. Never use petrol to remove these residues.
Never use normal saw blades in this saw. This
twin blade saw is tted with specially designed
saw blades. The use of other saw blades is not
permitted and may result in very serious injuries.
OPERATION
1. SAFETY ON/OFF SWITCH
Push the ON/OFF switch forwards to switch on the
saw. Release the ON/OFF switch again to switch off
the saw.
NOTE: After you have switched on the saw, wait until
the saw blades have reached their top speed before
you place them on the workpiece. If the saw blades
are brought into contact with the workpiece before
they have reached their top speed, this can result in
recoil and serious injuries.
IMPORTANT! When you want to stop the machine,
you should keep the machine away from the
workpiece rst, and then you can release the ON/OFF
Switch to turn off the machine.
2. CROSS CUTTING(See Fig. E1)
Aluminum, copper, stainless steel, cast iron.
The lubrication device must always be used for
cutting these materials.
Flat bar iron(See Fig. E2)
Position the saw blade perpendicular to the cutting
surface.
Corner pieces(See Fig. E3)
Guide the saw blade at a diagonal through the
cutting surface.
Rectangular tubing(See Fig. E4)
Guide the saw blade from corner to corner.
U-shaped sections(See Fig. E5)
Guide the saw blade from corner to corner.
Shaped plate(See Fig. E6)
Plate must always rest on three supports one of
which must be next to the cut.
Always position the saw blade perpendicular and
guide it through the material until it reaches the
bottom end. (See Fig. E7)
Spiral tubing and longitudinal sawing(See Fig. E8)
Guide the saw blade through the workpiece until it
projects by just 10 mm. Do not place the complete
saw blade into the material. Then move the saw
forwards or backwards through the material.
Thin plate(See Fig. E9)
Ensure that the saw blade does not project out of the
bottom of the workpiece by more than 10 mm.
MAINTENANCE
Before maintenance and cleaning, please always
remove the plug from power source. The retracting
blade guard must always be able to move freely
and retract automatically. Keep the area around the
retracting blade guard clean. Remove dust and chips
by blowing out with compressed air or with a brush
