supply is the same as that indicated on the rating plate. This product is
designed to operate on 230VAC 50Hz. DO NOT connect it to any other power

becomes lost or damaged, the plug must not be used until a suitable
replacement is obtained.
If the plug has to be changed because it is not suitable for your socket, or due
to damage, it should be cut off and a replacement fitted, following the wiring
instructions shown below. The old plug must be disposed of safely, as insertion
into a mains socket could cause an electrical hazard.

marked Nor coloured Black.
•The wire which is coloured Brown must be connected to the terminal
marked Lor coloured Red. L.
We strongly recommend that this machine is connected to the mains supply

GENERAL SAFETY RULES
WORK AREA
1. ALWAYS keep the work area clean and well lit. Cluttered and dark areas
invite accidents.
2. DO NOT operate power tools in explosive atmospheres such as in the
presence of flammable liquids, gasses or heavy dust. Power tools create
sparks which may ignite dust or fumes.
3. ALWAYS keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool.
Distractions can cause you to lose control.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
1. Power tools must match the power outlet. NEVER modify the plug in any
way. DO NOT use adaptor plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools.
Correct plugs and outlets will reduce the risk of electric shock.
2. DO NOT expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Any water entering
power tools will increase the risk of electric shock.
3. DO NOT abuse the electrical cable. NEVER use the cable for pulling or
unplugging the power tool. Keep the cable away from sources of heat, oil,
sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or tangled cables increase the risk
of electric shock.
4. If working outdoors, use outdoor extension leads, always use an approved
cable extension suitable for the power rating of this tool (see
specifications). The conductor size should also be at least the same size as
that on the machine, or larger. We strongly recommend that this machine
is connected to the mains supply via a Residual Current Device (RCD).
PERSONAL SAFETY
1. Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when you
are operating a power tool. DO NOT operate a power tool when you are
tired, ill or under the influence of alcohol, drugs or medication.
2. Wear personal protective equipment including eye protection. Safety
equipment such as a dust mask, non-skid shoes and hearing protection
used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries. Use a face or
dust mask if operation is particularly dusty. Wear ear protectors/defenders
as the noise level of this machine can exceed 85dB (A).
3. DO NOT over-reach. Keep a proper footing and balance at all times. This
enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.
5
Parts & Service: 020 8988 7400 / E-mail: Parts@clarkeinternational.com or Service@clarkeinternational.com
4. Concentrate on the job in hand, no matter how trivial it may seem. Be
aware that accidents are caused by carelessness due to familiarity.
5. Dress appropriately. DO NOT wear loose clothing or jewelry which may get
caught in moving parts. Wear protective hair covering to contain long hair.
For best footing, wear rubber soled footwear. Keep floor clear of oil, scrap
wood, etc.
6. AV O I D accidental starting of the machine. Ensure the switch is in the off
position and the locking button disengaged before plugging the machine
in to the power supply. Carrying power tools around with your finger on the
trigger or plugging in power tools that are switched on invites accidents.
7. Switch the machine OFF immediately after the task is completed.
POWER TOOL USE AND CARE
1. DO NOT force the machine. Use the correct power tool for your
application. It will do a better and safer job at the rate for which it was
designed.
2. 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.
3. Disconnect the power tool from the power supply before making any
adjustments, changing accessories, or storing the tool. These measures will
reduce the risk of the power tool starting accidentally.
4. Store power tools out of the reach of children and DO NOT allow persons
unfamiliar with these instructions to operate the power tool. Power tools are
potentially dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
5. Use recommended accessories. The use of improper accessories could be
hazardous.
6. DO NOT allow the ventilation slots in the machine to become blocked with
dust.
7. Check the power tool for damage before using the machine each time.
Any damaged part should be inspected to ensure that it will operate
properly and perform its intended function. Check for alignment of moving
parts, breakage of parts, mountings, and any other condition that may
affect the machine’s operation. Any damage should be properly repaired
or the part replaced. If in doubt, DO NOT use the machine. Consult your
local CLARKE dealer.
SERVICE
1. When necessary, have your power tools serviced or repaired by a qualified
person using identical replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of
the power tool is maintained.

RECIPROCATING SAW SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING: ONLY USE THE SAW AS DESCRIBED IN THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
HAND VIBRATION
All hand held power tools vibrate to some extent, and this vibration is
transmitted to the operator via the handles. Operators who are regularly
exposed to vibration may suffer from Hand Arm Vibration Syndrome (HAVS),
which includes ‘dead hand’, ‘dead finger’, and ‘white finger’. These are
painful conditions and are widespread in industries where vibrating tools are
used. If you feel numbness or pain in hands or arms, STOP using the tool and
take a rest. If symptoms persist seek medical advice.
CHANGING BLADES (PAGE 9)
1. Unplug the saw before changing blades, and take care to prevent
entrapment of fingers between the blade and the shoe. Ensure the blade is
secure before use.
2. Use the appropriate saw blade for the material being cut. Different blades
are available from your CLARKE dealer.
3. Only use saw blades in perfect working condition. Discard and replace any
cracked or bent saw blades.
WHEN SAWING (PAGE 12)
1. Keep the mains cable well away from the saw blade and ensure an
adequate electrical supply is close at hand so that the operation is not
restricted by the length of the cable.
2. Working on the bench. Allow sufficient clearance beneath the workpiece
to ensure the blade does not come into contact with the floor, bench etc.
3. Switching off. NEVER place the saw on a table or bench if it has not
completely stopped. The saw blade will continue to reciprocate for a short
time after the trigger has been released to stop the saw.
4. DO NOT cut material above the specified thickness.
5. Cutting into walls. DO NOT cut through walls or cavities before checking for
hidden electrical wires or water pipes etc.
6. Finishing cutting. DO NOT remove the tool from the work until the blade has
completely stopped and allow time for it to cool before touching the
blade immediately after use.
7. Use clamps & vices wherever possible to secure the workpiece.
7
Parts & Service: 020 8988 7400 / E-mail: Parts@clarkeinternational.com or Service@clarkeinternational.com
8. Cutting sheet materials. DO NOT cut workpiece less than at least twice the
pitch of the saw blade. i.e. at least two teeth must be in contact with the
workpiece at all times.
9. Beware of foreign objects. When cutting pre-used wood, ensure all nails
have been removed beforehand. Nails will damage the wood saw blade.
10. Cooling agents. When cutting metals, ALWAYS use a cooling agent i.e.
cutting/soluble oil.
11. DO NOT attempt to saw very small objects including those which cannot
be properly secured. Always hold the saw with both hands.
Please keep these instructions in a safe place for future reference.
