timber require special attention during cutting operation to prevent kickback.

Line Guide

The right side of the notch in the front of the shoe is the guide for straight 90 degree cuts. The left side of the notch is for 45 degree bevel cuts. The cutting guide notch gives an approximate line of cut since different blade types and thickness alter the line cut. Always make sample cuts in scrap timber to obtain the actual line cut. To minimize splintering, cut the good side down.

General Cuts

When starting a cut always hold the saw handle with one and and the front handle with the other. Never force the saw but maintain a light and continuous pressure.

After completing the cut, allow the saw to come to a complete stop. When cutting is interrupted, resume cutting by allowing the blade to reach full speed and then re-entering the cut slowly.

When cutting across the grain, the fibres of the wood have a tendency to lift and tear. Moving the saw slowly minimises this effect.

Pocket Cuts

Disconnect the plug from the power supply before making any adjustments. Set the depth adjustment based on the thickness of the material to be cut. Tilt the saw forward with the cutting guide notch on the line drawn for the cut. Raise the lower guard by using the lift lever. With the blade barely above the material to be cut, start the saw and allow the blade to come to full speed. Gradually lower the blade into the material being cut using the front end of the shoe as a pivot point. When the blade starts cutting, release the lower guard. When the shoe is resting flat on the surface being

cut, proceed cutting in a forward direction to the end of the cut. Allow the blade to come to a full stop before removing it form the cut. Never pull the saw backward since the blade will climb out of the cut and kick back will occur. Turn the saw around and finish the cut in a normal manner, sawing forward. Use a jigsaw or a handsaw to finish the cut in the corners, if required.
