This mini plunge saw is primarily intended for the sawing, longitudinally and trans-

versely, of solid wood, chipboard, plywood, plastic, aluminum, tiles and stone held in a

fixed position. Please note that the TCT blade pre-installed in the saw is intended for

wood only. Any other usage or modification to the device shall be considered as

incorrect use and could give rise to considerable dangers. Not suitable for commercial

use.

ELECTRICAL INFORMATION

WARNING: The warnings, cautions, and instructions discussed in this instruction manual

cannot cover all possible conditions and situations that may occur. It must be understood

by the operator that common sense and caution are factors which cannot be built into this

product, but must be supplied by the operator. Performance of this tool may vary

depending on variations in local line voltage. Extension cord usage may also affect tool

performance.

VOLTAGE WARNING

Before connecting the tool to a power source (receptacle, outlet, ect.) be sure the voltage

supplied is the same as that specified on the nameplate of the tool. If one says 120V and

the other says 115V then there will be no complications. Never try to plug a 120V tool into

a 240V outlet, or the other way around. A voltage greater than that specified on the tool

can result in SERIOUSINJURY to the user, as well as damage to the tool. If in doubt, DO

NOTPLUGINTHETOOL.

WARNING: YOUR MINI PLUNGE SAW MUST BE CONNECTED TO A 120V, 15-AMP,

BRANCH CIRCUIT BREAKER. FAILURE TO CONNECT IN THIS WAY CAN RESULT IN

INJURY FROM SHOCK OR FIRE.

DOUBLE INSULATION

Double insulated tools are equipped with a polarized

two-prong plug (one blade is wider than the other).

This plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If

the plug does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse the

plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified

electrician to install a polarized outlet. Do not alter or

change the plug in any way. Double insulation

eliminates the need for three wire grounded power

supply and grounded power cords.

EXTENSION CORDS

Improper use of extension cords may cause

inefficient operation of your tool which can result

in overheating. Be sure your extension cord is

rated to allow sufficient current flow to the motor.

If you are using the tool outdoors, use an

extension cord rated for outdoor use (signified

by “WA” on the jacket).

The extension cord must have a minimum wire

size depending on the amperage of the tool and the length of the extension cord. This size

is determined by its AWG (American Wire Gauge) rating. The smaller the gauge, the

greater the cable’s capacity. The amount of cords used does not matter: Total length deter-

mines the minimum AWG rating. Every cord must meet the AWG rating. Use the chart in

Fig.2 to determine what AWG rating is required for your situation.

ASSEMBLY & OPERATION

Switching on the tool

WARNING!: Before switching the tool on, check

that the saw blade is properly fitted and runs

smoothly, and that the blade cap screw is well

tightened.

Connect the 120V plug to the power supply. The

LED power-on light (C) Fig.6 will turn on until the

tool is disconnected from the power supply.

Push the lock-off button (A) Fig.6 forward with the

forefinger, depress the ON/OFF trigger (B) firmly

and keep it pressed.

Once you release the trigger, the main switch

returns automatically to its initial position and the

tool turns off.

WARNING!: The saw blade continues to rotate

after the tool is switched off.

Releasing the plunge stop

Press the plunge lock button (A) Fig.7 downwards

and keep it pressed.

NOTE: Pressing the plunge lock button unlocks

the plunge cut mechanism, so that the motor can

be moved downwards. The saw blade emerges

below the base of the tool.

ASSEMBLY & OPERATION

Laser guide

WARNING!: Do not stare directly at the laser

beam, do not deliberately aim the beam at

personnel and ensure that it is not directed

towards the eye of a person for longer than 0.25s.

When you make a cut line on your workpiece,

the laser can help you get better alignment.

Turn on: Press the laser switch (A) Fig.9 to the

“I” position. Line the laser up with the cut line on

your workpiece.

Turn off: Press the switch (A) to “O” position.

In addition, a V-shaped notch (B) Fig.9 at the

front of base and a protruding pointer (C) at the

rear allow the user to accurately align the cutting

mark on the workpiece.

Dust extraction

This mini plunge saw is a powerful tool capable

of producing a large amount of dust. As the tool

has a fully enclosed blade, forced dust extraction

is particularly efficient. Forced dust extraction

should be used for all but small trimming jobs.

Push the dust extraction hose (A) Fig.10 onto the

dust extraction nozzle (B).

The dust extraction hose can be adapted to King

Wet-Dry Vacuums or others having a 1-1/4” hose

diameter as shown in Fig.10.

OPERATION

CUTTING

WARNING!: Always cut in a forward direction. Never draw the tool backwards. If

you are a novice user, practice by cutting thin wood until proficient.

1) Install the correct blade ensuring it is sharp and not damaged.

2) Set the depth of cut.

3) Place the material to be cut onto a flat surface such as a workbench, table or floor.

Use a piece of scrap material underneath if you do not wish to damage the work

surface.

4) Plug into main power supply.

5) Grasp the tool firmly and rest its metal base plate onto the surface to be cut. Ensure

that the rear half of the base plate overhangs the work surface. Do not plunge the blade

into the material.

6) Switch on the tool and wait for a moment for the blade to run up to speed. Next,

depress the plunge lock button (A) Fig.7 and plunge the blade into the material slowly

and gently, but firmly. Then push the tool forward along the line to be cut. If necessary,

switch on the laser.

NOTES:

• Never draw the tool backwards.

• Very little force should be used to feed the tool along the cut. Excess force will cause

operator fatigue and excessive wear to the blade and tool.

• Ensure that the base plate is always held flat on the material being cut. This is

particularly important at the start or finish of a cut or if thin strips are being cut where the

base plate is not fully supported.

• Once the cut has been finished, lift the tool from the work surface before switching off.

If a lot of dust has been created, keep switched on for a few extra seconds to allow the

dust to clear from within the tool.

CUT-OUTS

Plunge cutting may not be possible in some hard materials. Choose a suitable saw blade

for hard materials and change to it.

• If the cut is to be covered, for example by a vent cover, the corners can be overlapped

to ensure that the waste material is completely detached.

• If the cut-out is to be seen, do not overlap the corners. In this circumstance, as the

cutting blade is circular, the waste material will not be fully detached. The corners will

therefore, require finishing with a knife. If the material is thin and the back surface

unimportant, the waste material can just be pushed out.

• Where there is access to the back surface of the material to be cut, the cut-out can be

marked out with an over cutting allowance. The cut is then made from the back surface

to ensure perfect corners on the front surface.

OPERATION & MAINTENANCE

CUTTING PARTICULARLY TOUGH OR ABRASIVE MATERIALS

Learn to use the tool by cutting wood before attempting to cut anything tougher. When

cutting tougher material, such as metals, more force is required to hold the workpiece

and clamping may be required.

Sheet metal: Use the HSS balde. Always set the depth adjustment to at least 1 mm

deeper than the material thickness to avoid the blade riding up over the surface. Scrap

material is required underneath the work surface.

• Remove burrs and rust as these impede the feed across the material.

• Thick beeswax (furniture polish) applied to the base plate of the tool makes metal

cutting easier.

• Only suitable for cutting brass, copper, lead, aluminium or galvanised mild steel.

• Every 2 minutes of metal cutting should be followed by a rest of at least 3 minutes.

Ceramic tiles, stone: Use the segmented diamond balde.

•Always use with a suitable vacuum connected as the dust can be hazardous to the

operator and prevent the guard from operating correctly.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

Regular cleaning is required for the safe operation of the tool, as an excessive build up

of dust will prevent the tool from operating correctly.

• The dust extraction hose may block and require cleaning occasionally, especially if

damp wood is being cut. Clean thoroughly with a small soft brush, like a paint brush.

• Keep the cooling vents on the motor housing clean and unobstructed at all times.

• Never use any caustic agents or solvents to clean the plastic parts.

Blades

Always use a sharp blade. If the tool does not cut as well as expected or if it overheats

the most common cause is a blunt blade. It is difficult to see or feel if the blade is blunt.

When in doubt use a new blade.

• Replacement blades are available at your nearest distributor of King Canada products.
