࡯3࡯Safety Considerations
Double Insulation
This power tool displays the˴˴ mark to indicate that the part between the conductor through whichelectricity travels and the outer frame held by the user is double-insulated.
Double insulated power tools decrease the risk of shock.
Replacing the wiring system with the wrong parts or assembling it incorrectly can result in a decrease in the
degree of safety provided by double insulation.
Dismantling, reassembling, replacing or repairing parts should always be performed by the distributor
where you purchased the product or by our sales department.

Overload Protection Circuit
To protect the motor, the tool has an inbuilt overload protection circuit. If a predetermined temperature isexceeded, the power will automatically cut off to prevent damage to the motor.
Should this happen, turn the unit off immediately and allow to cool before using again.
When you turn on again, the unit will operate as usual but the motor will still be hot, so cut slowly andwith a light touch.

Cutting
CAUTION
1) Do not remove the insulation cover. (Fig.1)‫ޓ‬2) Do not mount the chain vice on the side of the workpiece that will fall off when cut, or both the machine‫ޓޓ‬and the workpiece will fall off together.
‫ޓ‬3) Under no circumstances should you allow the saw blade to rotate freely (idle). Start the blade only after‫ޓޓ‬lightly engaging it with the workpiece.
‫ޓޓ‬If the blade is idling before you start cutting the workpiece, there is the possibility that the blade could‫ޓޓ‬start shaking violently and be deflected off the workpiece, which could lead to accident or injury.
‫ޓ‬4) Do not attempt to cut a large pipe beyond the blade's range. There is the danger of breaking the saw
blade when it reaches the inner wall of the pipe.
‫ޓ‬5) Do not apply excessive force when cutting. Cut lightly. Excessive force will damage the blade andshorten its working life.
‫ޓ‬6) If the workpiece is not fixed securely, there will be a loss of power and both the workpiece and saw will‫ޓޓ‬become unstable.
‫ޓ‬7) When operating the machine be careful not to allow metal chips, soil or water etc. to get inside the‫ޓޓ‬machine from the plunger. If chips and the like collect in the plunger, always clean up first before‫ޓޓ‬operating the machine.
‫ޓ‬8) Use the chain vice to improve stability and performance when cutting steel pipes etc. with a thick saw‫ޓޓ‬blade.
‫ޓ‬9) Avoid placing your hands or face close to the blade or waste material exhaust when the machine is in use.
10) The workpiece and blade will be extremely hot right after cutting, so avoid touching them or you may
burn yourself

WARNING
It is extremely dangerous to allow the saw blade to rotate freely
without engaging the workpiece, as the saw blade will start
shaking and be deflected when it comes into contact with thepipe. Only switch on after you have placed the blade lightly
against the workpiece.

HandleHook

1. Using a chain vice when cutting(1)For working on anything other than existing pipes or fixed‫ޓ‬pieces etc., we recommend using a REX CVX6 Chain Vice‫ޓ‬Stand to support the workpiece securely.
(2) Make sure the chain is hooked onto the chain vice securely,‫ޓ‬turn the handle and fix the chain vice securely to the‫ޓ‬workpiece. (Fig. 8)

2. Cutting without the chain vice

Hold the saw blade holder
against the workpiece.

(1) Fix the workpiece securely to the recommended CVX6
˴˴Chain Vice Stand.
(2) Place the base of the saw firmly against the pipe, then˴˴turn on the machine and gradually cut through the˴˴workpiece. (Fig. 12)

CAUTION࡮If you don't place the saw blade holder of the saw firmly
against the pipe, the blade may vibrate excessively, which
could damage the blade or cause injury.

Fig. 12

Speed Of The BladeDial

6he speed of the blade can be adjusted by a built-in nonstep electronic control circuit.
Mark 1 on the dial is the lowest speed, while 6 is the highest.
A high speed is suitable for mild steel materials and a low
speed for stainless steel, but always use at a speed best
suited to the materials and the working conditions. (Fig. 13)

Scale

Fig. 13CAUTION࡮Do not attempt to cut steel plate more than 2mm in thickness at low speed (up to mark 2 on the scale).
Doing so will overload the motor and may result in fire.
࡮The machine uses a powerful motor but avoid using it at low speed for long periods of time or the motor ˴˴may burn out or cause a fire. In particular, if the blade suddenly stops while cutting the material, do not force˴it, but adjust the speed so that it cuts smoothly.
࡮When the speed is too high, the blade may vibrate so set the dial at a lower speed.
