blade could result in broken blades and/or damage to the material being cut.
Note: When scroll cutting intricate designs, we recommend using a scroll cutting blade. However, a standard blade can be used.

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.
Always hold the saw by the ! WARNING 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.
4.To reduce the risk of injury, be sure the blade always extends beyond the footplate and work throughout the stroke. Blades may shatter if the front on the blade hits the work and/or the footplate.
