GENERAL CUTTING

Always hold the saw in front of you and away from your body. Keep your hands and feet well away from the work piece.

Never feed the blade into the work piece until the blade is at full speed. If the blade is not at full speed, the saw may kick back causing serious personal injury.

Do not force the saw. Excessive force may result in a broken blade. Use only enough pressure to keep the saw moving through the work piece.

•Put on eye protection.

•Clear the saw of any foreign material.

•Make sure the work piece is held securely in place. Hold smaller pieces in a vise or attach to the workbench with clamps.

•Mark out the line to be cut so it is easily visible.

•Check the lower guard for damage. If damaged, do not use tool.

•Always use the right blade for the material.

•Make sure all bolts, screws and locking levers are secure before starting tool.

•Pull the trigger to start the saw.

•Set the shoe against the work piece.

•When the blade reaches full speed, slowly feed the blade into the work piece. When the blade starts cutting, release the blade guard.

POCKET CUTTING

If the blade binds, release the trigger immediately. Do not move the saw until the blade comes to a complete stop. Find the cause of the binding before starting the saw again.

If the blade becomes pinched, twisted, misaligned or bound, it will stall and lift up out of the work piece, suddenly jerking back toward the operator. This reaction is referred to as KICKBACK.

• Mark out the line to be cut so it is easily visible.

• Start inside the area to be cut out.

• Set the shoe against the work piece at an angle.

• Lift the blade guard.

• Pull the trigger to start the saw.

• When the blade reaches full speed, slowly feed the blade into the work piece. When the blade starts cutting, release the blade guard.
