GENERAL CUTS
Guard Against Kickback
With unit unplugged, follow all assembly, adjustment and
set up instructions. Make sure lower guard operates.
Select the proper blade for the material to be cut.
f Measure and mark work for cutting.
f Support and secure work properly (See Safety Rules
and Instructions).
f Use appropriate and required safety equipment (See
Safety Rules).
f Secure and maintain work area (See Safety Rules).
f With plug inserted and guard closed, make sure
switch turns saw on and off.
Warning! It is important to support the work properly
and to hold the saw firmly to prevent loss of control
which could cause personal injury. (Fig. C) illustrates

OPERATION
Switch
f To operate the tool, depress the trigger switch (1).
The tool will continue to run as long as the trigger is
depressed.
f To turn the tool off, release the trigger switch (1).
There is no provision for locking the tool on, and the
switch should never be locked on by any other means.
Sawing
Warning! To reduce the risk of serious personal
injury,always hold the tool with both hands.
f Let the blade run freely for a few seconds before
starting the cut.
f Apply only a gentle pressure to the tool while
performing the cut.
f Work with the shoe pressed against the workpiece.
HINTS FOR OPTIMUM USE
f As some splintering along the line of cut on the top
side of the workpiece cannot be avoided, cut on the
side where splintering is acceptable.
f Where splintering is to be minimized, e.g. when
cutting laminates, clamp a piece of plywood onto the
top of the workpiece.
Pocket Cutting (Fig. K)
Pocket cutting is used to cut a hole in a piece of
material without cutting from the side.
f Measure and mark work.
f Tilt saw forward and rest front of the shoe on material
to be cut. Align so that cut will begin at the back of the
drawn rectangle shown in (Fig. K).
f Using the retracting lever, retract blade guard to
an upward position, with the blade just clearing the
material, start motor and gradually lower the saw into
the material.
Warning! As blade starts cutting the material, release
the retracting lever immediately.
f Never tie the blade guard in a raised position.
f When the shoe rests flat on the material being cut,
complete the cut in forward direction.
f Allow the blade to come to a complete stop before
lifting saw from material.
f When starting each new cut, repeat the above steps.
Wrench Storage (Fig. L)
The spanner wrench (8) can be stored on the saw shoe as
shown in (Fig. L).
Attaching and Removing the Rip Fence (Fig. M
The rip fence is used to saw in a straight line parallel to the
edge of the working piece.
Attaching
f Loosen the locking knob (17).
f Insert the rip fence (18) through the openings (19).
f Slide the rip fence into the desired position.
f Tighten the locking know.
Removing
f Loosen the locking know.
f Pull the rip fence out of the tool.
Note: If you do not have a proper fitting fence, use a
straight edge guide in contact with the edge of the
shoe to improve accuracy of cut and reduce the
possibility of binding and kickback.
