Operation

CAUTION:

*Before use, be sure to release the handle from the lowered position by pulling the stop- per pin.

*Make sure the blade is not contacting the workpiece, etc. before the switch is turned on. *Do not apply excessive pressure on the handle when cutting. Too much force may result

in overload of the motor and/or decreased cutting efficiency.

*Gently press down the handle to perform the cut. If the handle is pressed down with force or if lateral force is applied, the blade will vibrate and leave a mark (saw mark) in the workpiece and the precision of the cut will be impaired.

*During a slide cut, gently push the carriage toward the guide fence without stopping. If the carriage movement is stopped during the cut, a mark will be left in the workpiece and the precision of the cut will be impaired.

1.Press cutting (cutting small workpieces)

*Workpieces up to 61 mm (2-3/8") high and 122 mm (4-13/16") wide can be cut in the following way.

*Push the carriage toward the guide fence fully and tighten the clamp screw to secure the carriage. Secure the workpiece with the vise. Switch on the tool and wait until the blade attains full speed before lowering gently into the cut. When the cut is completed, switch off the tool and WAIT UNTIL THE BLADE HAS COME TO A COM- PLETE STOP before returning the blade to its fully elevated position.

CAUTION:

Firmly tighten the clamp screw so that the carriage will not move during operation. Insufficient tightening may cause unexpected kickback of the blade. Possible serious injury may result.
