GENERAL CUTTING
See Figure 8.
Rest the front of the saw base on the workpiece and align cutting edge of the blade with the line on the workpiece. Make sure the power cord is out of your way and not in the line of cut. Start your saw and move it forward on the work surface. Apply downward pressure to keep the saw steady and only enough forward pressure to keep the blade cut- ting.
