(optional accessory)
To connect dust collection system, begin by
removing the dust plug from the guard (Fig. 1).
Insert the 60° elbow into the round opening in
the guard (Fig. 7).
Attach the included hose to the 60° elbow.
Rotate the hose clip at the back of the tool and
snap the hose into place as shown (Fig. 7).
Insert the open end of the included hose into
the vacuum adapter. The vacuum adapter can

Hold the tool with both hands while starting
the tool, since torque from the motor can cause
the tool to twist.
Start the tool before applying to work and let
the tool come to full speed before contacting
the workpiece. Lift the tool from the work
before releasing the switch. DO NOT turn the
switch “ON” and “OFF” while the tool is under
load; this will greatly decrease the switch life.
SLIDE ON-OFF SWITCH WITH LOCK
The tool is switched “ON” by the switch
button located at the side of the motor
housing. The switch can be locked in the
“ON” position, a convenience for long
operations.
TO TURN THE TOOL “ON” without locking it,
slide the switch button forward by applying
pressure ONLY at the REAR portion of the
button. When pressure is released the switch
button will snap to “OFF” position (Fig. 1).
TO LOCK THE SWITCH “ON”, slide the
switch button forward and press “IN” the
FRONT portion.
TO UNLOCK THE SWITCH, simply press
and release the REAR portion of the button.
Switch is spring loaded and will snap back
automatically.
In order to try to avoid recoil (a situation where
the wheel wants to skip out of the material) it
is recommended to make cuts in the same
direction as the rotation of the wheel.
It is important to read and
understand the section in
this manual called “Causes and Operator
Prevention of Recoil”.
HAND POSITIONING
Avoid using the front hand position when
cutting off metal or other items that may get hot
while cutting. Metal and other thermally
conductive materials can heat rapidly from
cutting friction, increasing the risk of burns.
Your Zip Saw® offers multiple hand positions
for greater comfort and control. Always be sure
to control the tool with two hands while cutting.
