POCKET CUTS

Disconnect the plug from the power source before making adjustments. Set depth adjust- ment according to material to be cut. Tilt saw forward with cutting guide notch lined up with the line you’ve drawn. Raise the lower guard, using lift lever and hold the saw by the front and rear handles (Fig. 8).

With the blade just clearing the material to be cut, start the motor. Gradually lower the back end of saw using the front end of the foot as the hinge point.

!WARNING As blade starts cutting the material, release the lower

guard immediately. When the foot rests flat on the surface being cut, proceed cutting in forward direction to end of cut.

!WARNING Allow blade to come to a complete stop before lifting

the saw from cut. Also, never pull the saw backward since blade will climb out of the material and KICKBACK will occur.

Turn saw around and finish the cut in the normal manner, sawing forward. If corners of your pocket cut are not completely cut through, use a jigsaw or hand saw to finish the corners.

CUTTING LARGE SHEETS

Large sheets and long boards sag or bend, depending on support. If you attempt to cut without leveling and properly supporting the piece, the blade will tend to bind, causing KICK- BACK and extra load on the motor (Fig. 9).

Support the panel or board close to the cut, as shown in (Fig. 10). Be sure to set the depth of the cut so that you cut through the sheet or

board only and not the table or work bench. The two-by-fours used to raise and support the work should be positioned so that the broadest sides support the work and rest on the table or bench. Do not support the work with the narrow sides as this is an unsteady arrangement. If the sheet or board to be cut is too large for a table or work bench, use the supporting two-by-fours on the floor and secure.
