OPERATION

Section cutting (ordinary sawing)

CAUTION:

•Be sure to move the tool forward in a straight line gently. Forcing or twisting the tool will result in overheating the motor and dangerous kickback, possibly causing severe injury.

•Never approach any part of your body under the tool base when section cutting, especially at

starting. Doing so may cause serious personal injuries. The blade is exposed under the tool base.

Hold the tool firmly. The tool is provided with both a front grip and rear handle. Use both to best grasp the tool. If both hands are holding saw, they cannot be cut by the blade. Set the front of base on the workpiece to be cut without the blade making any contact. Then push in the lock-off button and turn the tool on and wait until the blade attains full speed. Now press down the saw head slowly to the preset depth of cut and simply move the tool forward over the workpiece surface, keeping it flat and advancing smoothly until the sawing is completed.

To get clean cuts, keep your sawing line straight and your speed of advance uniform. If the cut fails to properly follow your intended cut line, do not attempt to turn or force the tool back to the cut line. Doing so may bind the blade and lead to dangerous kickback and possible serious injury. Release switch, wait for blade to stop and then withdraw tool. Realign tool on new cut line, and start cut again. Attempt to avoid positioning which exposes operator to chips and wood dust being ejected from saw. Use eye protection to help avoid injury.
