OPERATION

GENERAL CUTTING

See Figure 4.

Rest the front of the saw base on the workpiece and align cutting edge of the blade with the line on your workpiece. 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 YOUR SAW

Forcing your saw may overheat the motor and break saw blades. Broken saw blades must be discarded. Remove the broken portion of the saw blade from the clamp and install a new saw blade.

ORBITAL MOTION

See Figure 4.

The blade of your saw cuts in orbital motion. This feature is adjustable and provides faster more efficient cutting. With orbital motion the blade cuts through your work in the upstroke but does not drag across your work in the downstroke. The higher settings should be used when fast cutting in soft material is desired. The lower settings should be used when cutting materials with more resis- tance.

STRAIGHT CUT

See Figure 4.

A straight cut can be made by clamping a piece of wood or straightedge to the workpiece and guiding the edge of your saw against it. Make the cut from one direction only: don't cut halfway and complete the cut from the opposite end.

WARNING:

Excessive side pressure to the blade could result in broken blades or damage to the material being cut.
