GENERAL CUTS (IMPORTANT: Read safety warnings and instructions. )

GUARD AGAINST KICKBACK

With unit unplugged, follow all assembly, adjustment and set up instructions. Make sure lower guard operates. Select the proper blade for the material to be cut.

• Measure and mark work for cutting.

• Support and secure work properly (See Safety Rules and Instructions).

• Use appropriate and required safety equipment (See Safety Rules).

• Secure and maintain work area (See Safety Rules).

• With plug inserted and guard closed, make sure switch turns saw on and off. WARNING: It is important to support the work properly and to hold the saw firmly to prevent loss of control which could cause personal injury. Figure 3 illustrates recommended hand position.

• Let the blade run freely for a few seconds before starting the cut.

• Apply only a gentle pressure to the tool while performing the cut.

• Work with the shoe pressed against the workpiece.

hints for optimum use

•As some splintering along the line of cut on the top side of the workpiece cannot be avoided, cut on the side where splintering is acceptable.

•Where splintering is to be minimized, e.g. when cutting laminates, clamp a piece of plywood onto the top of the workpiece.

POCKET CUTTING (fig.11)

WARNING: Never tie the blade guard in a raised position. Never move the saw backwards when pocket cutting. This may cause the unit to raise up off the work surface which could cause injury.

A pocket cut is one that is made in a floor, wall, or other flat surface.
