To install the blade, follow the removal procedure in reverse.
BE SURE TO TIGHTEN THE HEX BOLT COUNTER-
CLOCKWISE SECURELY.
When changing blade, make sure to also clean upper and
lower blade guards of accumulated sawdust. Such efforts do
not, however, replace the need to check lower guard opera-
tion before each use.
OPERATION CAUTION:
•Be sure to move the tool forward in a straight line gently.
Forcing or twisting the tool will result in overheating the
motor and dangerous kickback, possibly causing severe
injury.
Hold the tool firmly. The tool is provided with both a front grip
and rear handle. Use both to best grasp the tool. If both
hands are holding saw, they cannot be cut by the blade. Set
the base on the workpiece to be cut without the blade making
any contact. Then turn the tool on and wait until the blade
attains full speed. Now simply move the tool forward over the
workpiece surface, keeping it flat and advancing smoothly
until the sawing is completed.
To get clean cuts, keep your sawing line straight and your
speed of advance uniform. If the cut fails to properly follow
your intended cut line, do not attempt to turn or force the tool
back to the cut line. Doing so may bind the blade and lead to
dangerous kickback and possible serious injury. Release
switch, wait for blade to stop and then withdraw tool. Realign
tool on new cut line, and start cut again. Attempt to avoid
positioning which exposes operator to chips and wood dust
being ejected from saw. Use eye protection to help avoid
injury.
