CUTTING MASONRY/METAL
This tool is not recommended for usage with metal or masonry
!WARNING Do not cut metal or masonry with this circular
saw. The dust from metal or masonry cutting will cause the lower guard to become sluggish and may not close fully and quickly after cutting these materials.
!Do not cut with abrasive WARNING wheels around flammable
materials or environments. Abrasive cutting may produce sparks that could ignite flammable materials and cause explosion hazards.
!Do not use Wet Diamond WARNING cutting off wheel or water

PLUNGE CUTS
Disconnect battery pack from tool before making adjustments. Set depth adjustment 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. 10).
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.
