Hex Key Storage

Insert hex key into storage area when not in use. It is located on the right front of your saw as shown in figure 6.

WARNING:

Do not insert saw blade or hex key into air vents. They could come in contact with electrically live internal parts, and cause electrical shock result- ing in serious injury.

WARNING:

To avoid serious personal injury, do not use saw without chip shield properly in place.

General Cutting

See Figure 7.

Rest the front of the saw base on the workpiece and align cutting edge of the blade with the line on your workpiece. Make sure the power cord is out of your way and not in the line of cut. Start your saw and move it forward on the work surface. Apply downward pressure to keep the saw steady and only enough forward pressure to keep the blade cutting.

Do Not Force The Saw

Forcing your saw may overheat the motor and break saw blades.
