Operating Instructions

AUxILIARY HANDLE

The tool must be supported with the auxiliary handle. The handle must be threaded into the front housing of the tool (Fig. 1).

LED WORK LIGHT

Your tool is equipped with a light that turns on automatically when the switch is activated for better visibility during operation.

The light is maintenance free and was designed to last the life of your tool (Fig. 1).

SAFETY SWITCH

The safety switch is designed to prevent accidental starts. To operate safety switch, press the release button with your thumb on either side of handle to disengage the lock, then pull the trigger (Fig. 1). When the trigger is released the button will engage the safety switch automatically, and the trigger will no longer operate.

SWITCH

!WARNING When starting the tool, hold it with both hands.

The torque from the motor can cause the tool to twist.

To turn tool “ON”, squeeze the trigger switch. To turn the tool “OFF”, release the trigger switch, which is spring loaded and will return to the off position automatically.

Your saw should be running at full speed BEFORE starting the cut, and turned off only AFTER completing the cut. To increase switch life, do not turn switch on and off while cutting.

Always hold the saw handle with one hand and the auxiliary handle with the other (Fig. 4).
