SWITCH

!WARNING 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 ! WARNING 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.

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.

CUTTING MASONRY/METAL

This tool is not recommended for continuous and general usage with metal or masonry cut- off wheels. If you use your saw for cutting these materials, use the appropriate wheel for the material being cut.

When cutting masonry, do not cut a depth of more than 1/4 inch (6 mm). Make successive

passes to achieve desired depth. Apply a light forward pressure. Do not overload motor. Disconnect plug from power source and clean dust from air vents frequently. Metal cutting is done at full depth.

!WARNING Clean guards frequently to assure a rapid return of

lower guard. The lower guard may become sluggish when cutting masonry materials.

Abrasive Cut Off Wheels ! WARNING must have a maximum

safe operating speed greater than the “no load RPM” marked on the tool’s nameplate. Wheels running over the rated speed can fly apart and cause injury.

! WARNING Do not use the abrasive cut off wheel near

flammable materials. Sparks from the wheel could ignite these materials.

!WARNING This machine is not intended to be used with

Wet Diamond Wheels. Using water or other liquid coolants with this machine may result in electrocution or shock. Use of Dry Diamond Wheels is acceptable.

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).

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