CAUTION :

0 Before inserting the battery cartridge into the tool, always check to see that the trigger switch actuates properly and returns to the "OFF" position when released.

0 When not operating the tool, keep the lock-off lever in the SAFETY LOCK position.

.Pulling the trigger hard when the lock-off lever is set to the SAFETY LOCK position can cause switch breakage.

Operation

Turn the tool on before contacting the workpiece. Then rest the base flat on the workpiece and gently move the tool for- ward along the previously marked cutting line.

Plunge cutting

Starting a cut a t other than the edge of the workpiece without first drilling a starting hole requires a "plunge cut." This can be accomplished by tipping the tool forward until the front end of the base rests against the workpiece. Switch the tool on and lower the back end of the tool slowly, gradually allowing the blade to saw through the wood until the base is able to s i t flat on the work- piece. You may then proceed forward with the cut in a normal manner.

If using a drill for a starting hole, bore a hole over 12 mm (1/2") in diameter. Then insert the blade in it and proceed.
