TECHNICAL DATA
The level of sound pressure of the tool is in accordance
with EEC legislation. It is recommended that you take
appropriate measures for the protection of your hearing
if the sound level seems uncomfortable. This normally
equates to a sound pressure in excess of 85dB (A).
BEFORE USING YOUR SAW THINK!
Before you start cutting make sure that the area you
are going to cut is clear of all obstacles particularly
on the reverse side of the cut.
If you use the saw with one hand always ensure your
free hand is away from the cutting area.

REMOVAL & REFITTING THE BLADE
Your Scorpion Saw has a new blade clamping
mechanism. Before using the saw familiarize
yourself with the removal of the blade and refitting
the blade securely in the saw.

ENGLISH
Always ensure the unit is unplugged from the power
supply when changing blades.
Always ensure the tooth protector is fitted when
changing blades.
OPERATING YOUR SCORPION SAW
Variable speed trigger switch
Your Scorpion Saw is equipped with a variable speed
trigger switch that allows you greater control over
start of cut, rate of cut and breakthrough of cut.

protector, your saw is
now ready for use.
Note: If you are unable to fit the blade, check if the
location pin is in the correct position as shown
below. If it is not, keep the blade release button
depressed and use a screwdriver to turn the location
pin into the correct position.
It is advisable when cutting thin sheet to clamp a
backing sheet of soft wood or plywood to the work
as this will enable you to obtain a cleaner cut. Both
metal and wood backing are sawn together. Do not
force the cutting blade into the metal as this will
reduce the life of the blade and possibly damage the
motor. Cutting thin metal will take longer than cutting
even a relatively thick piece of wood, so do not be
tempted to speed up the operation by forcing the
saw. Spread a thin film of oil along the proposed
cutting line before cutting.
Only use the metal cutting blade for this purpose.
