HINTS FOR OPTIMUM USE
General
-Use a high speed for wood, a medium speed for aluminum and PVC and a low speed for metals other then aluminum.
Sawing laminates
As the saw blade cuts on the upward stroke, splintering may occur on the surface closest to the shoe plate.
-Use a
-Saw from the back surface of the workpiece.
-To minimize splintering, clamp a piece of scrap wood or hardboard to both sides of the workpiece and saw through this sandwich.
Sawing metal
-Be aware that sawing metal takes much more time than sawing wood.
-Use a saw blade suitable for sawing metal.
-When cutting thin metal, clamp a piece of scrap wood to the back surface of the workpiece and cut through this sandwich.
-Spread a film of oil along the intended line of cut.
WARNING: Do not use a vacuum when cutting metal. Metal filings will be hot and may
cause a fire.
Rip Fence
Ripping and circle cutting without a pencil line are easily done with a rip fence and circle guide (available at extra cost).
Attaching Rip Fence (figure E & F)
-Insert rip fence into slot on the right side of saw shoe as shown with cross bar facing down.
-Place screw (14) into hole in bottom of shoe.
-Align clamp bar (15) over screw with lipped edge facing down and pointing towards the rear of the saw.

USE OF EXTENSION CORDS
Make sure the extension cord is in good condition before using. Always use the proper size extension cords with the tool – that is, proper wire size for various lengths of cord and heavy enough to carry the current the tool will draw. Use of an undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating. For proper size cords see chart below.

Be sure your power supply agrees with nameplate marking. 120 Volts AC only means your tool will operate on standard 60 Hz household power. Do not operate AC tools on DC. A rating of 120 volts AC/DC means that you tool will operate on standard 60 Hz AC or DC power. This information is printed on the nameplate. Lower voltage will cause loss of power and can result in
