SWITCH

! WARNING This tool is not recommended for use

with abrasive masonry cut-off wheels.

When starting the tool, hold it with both hands.

The torque from the motor can cause the tool to twist.

To turn tool “ON”, squeeze the trigger switch. To turn the tool “OFF”, release the trigger switch, which is spring loaded and will return to the off position automatically.

Your saw should be running at full speed BEFORE starting the cut, and turned off only AFTER completing the cut. To increase switch life, do not turn switch on and off while cutting.

GENERAL CUTS

Always hold the saw handle with one hand and the auxiliary handle or housing with the other.

Always be sure either hand does not interfere with the

free movement of the lower guard.

Maintain a firm grip and operate the switch with a decisive action. Never force the saw. Use light and continuous pressure.

After completing a cut and the trigger has been released, be aware of the necessary time it

takes for the blade to come to a complete stop during coast down. Do not allow the saw to brush against your leg or side, since the lower guard is retractable, it could catch on your clothing and expose the blade. Be aware of the necessary blade exposures that exist in both the upper and lower guard areas.

When cutting is interrupted, to resume cutting: squeeze the trigger and allow the blade to reach full speed, re-enter the cut slowly and resume cutting.

CROSS CUTS

When cutting across the grain, the fibers of the wood have a tendency to tear and lift. Advancing the saw slowly minimizes this effect. For a finished cut, a cross cut blade or miter blade is recommended.

POCKET CUTS

Disconnect the plug from the power source before making adjustments. Set depth adjust- ment according to material to be cut. Tilt saw forward with cutting guide notch lined up with the line you’ve drawn. Raise the lower guard, using lift lever and hold the saw by the front and rear handles (Fig. 9).

GUIDE

With the blade just clearing the material to be cut, start the motor. Gradually lower the back end of saw using the front end of the foot as the hinge point.

As blade starts cutting the ! WARNING material, release the lower

guard immediately. When the foot rests flat on the surface being cut, proceed cutting in forward direction to end of cut.

! WARNING Allow blade to come to a complete stop before lifting

the saw from cut. Also, never pull the saw backward since blade will climb out of the material and KICKBACK will occur.

Turn saw around and finish the cut in the normal manner, sawing forward. If corners of your pocket cut are not completely cut through, use a jigsaw or hand saw to finish the corners.
