OPERATION
STARTING A CUT (Cont'd)
TO HELP MAINTAIN CONTROL:
1.Always support your work near the cut.
2.Support your work so the cut will be on your right.
3.Clamp your work so it will not move during the cut.
Place your work with its good side down. NOTE: The
good side is the side on which appearance is impor- tant.
Before beginning a cut, draw a guide line along the desired line of cut. Then place front edge of base on that part of your work that is solidly supported. See Figure 10.
NEVER PLACE YOUR SAW ON THAT PART OF THE WORK THAT WILL FALL OFF WHEN THE CUT IS
MADE. See Figure 11.
Keep the cord away from cutting area. ALWAYS place the cord to prevent it from hanging up on the work while making a cut.
_lf | the | cord | hangs | up on the work | during |
a cut, release | the | switch | trigger | immediately. | Unplug |
your saw and reposition the cord to prevent it from
hanging | up again. |

_Using |
|
| your | saw | with | a | damaged | cord | |
could | result in | serious | injury | or death. | If the cord | has | |||
been | damaged, | have | it | replaced | before using | your | |||
saw again.
Hold your saw firmly with both hands. See Figure 10. Push the
on top of the handle. ALWAYS LET THE BLADE REACH FULL SPEED, THEN GUIDE YOUR SAW IN- TO THE WORK.
When making a cut use steady, even pressure. Forc-
ing causes rough cuts, could shorten the life of your saw and could cause "kickback."

REMEMBER:
When sawing through work, the lower blade guard does not cover the blade, exposing it on the under- side of work. Keep your hands and fingers away from cutting area. Any part of your body coming in con- tact with the moving blade will result in serious injury.
After you complete your cut release the trigger and allow the blade to come to a complete stop. DO NOT REMOVE YOUR SAW FROM WORKPIECE WHILE THE BLADE IS MOVING.
_Whenlifting your saw from the work the blade is exposed on the underside of your saw until the lower blade guard closes, Make sure lower blade guard is (}tosed before setting your saw down on work surface.
