GENERAL CUTTING

Always hold the saw in front of you and away from your body. Keep your hands and feet well away from the work piece.

Never feed the blade into the work piece until the blade is at full speed. If the blade is not at full speed, the saw may kick back causing serious personal injury.

Do not force the saw. Excessive force may result in a broken blade. Use only enough pressure to keep the saw moving through the work piece.

•Put on eye protection.

•Clear the saw of any foreign material.

•Make sure the work piece is held securely in place. Hold smaller pieces in a vise or attach to the workbench with clamps.

•Mark out the line to be cut so it is easily visible.

•Check the lower guard for damage. If damaged, do not use tool.

•Always use the right blade for the material.

•Make sure all bolts, screws and locking levers are secure before starting tool.

•Pull the trigger to start the saw.

•Set the shoe against the work piece.

•When the blade reaches full speed, slowly feed the blade into the work piece. When the blade starts cutting, release the blade guard.

To reduce risk of damage to the tool or blade, do not exceed the feed rate and maximum cut time for materials thicker than 1/4".

Cutting too fast or too long in heavy material will damage the tool if the tool if the tool is not allowed to cool.

Cutting too slowly will cause excessive wear on the blade.
