!WARNING Do not push the footplate release button while sawing.
It will cause the footplate to release from the desired settings and you may lose control and be injured.
(a)
!WARNING To reduce the risk of injury, be sure the blade extends
beyond the footplate and all the way through the workpiece throughout the stroke. Blades may shatter if the blade hits the footplate or hits the work at an angle that is nearly head- on (Fig. 8).

HOOK
Using the Saw
1.Securely clamp the work.
2.Mark the line of cut and grasp the tool with one hand on the handle and the other placed on the insulated rubber boot over the front housing.
!WARNING Always hold the saw by the insulated boot on the front
housing. If you saw into a blind area where live wiring exists, you may be shocked or electrocuted.
3.Keep the saw footplate firmly against the work to minimize
4.Squeeze the trigger to start the tool. Let the saw reach full speed before starting the cut.
Guide the saw so that the blade will move along the marked line.
SAWING TIPS
Following a few simple tips will reduce the wear on the workpiece, the tool and the operator.
1.Blades cut on the draw or back stroke. On fine work, such as paneling, fiberglass, etc., place the good side of workpiece facing down.
2.Use the correct saw blade for the material being cut and keep extra blades on hand to use when others become dull. Replace cracked or bent blades immediately.
3.Select the appropriate cutting speed.
