WARNING: Inspect work site for hidden gas pipes, water pipes, or electrical wires
before making blind or plunge cuts. Failure to do so may result in explosion, property
damage, electric shock, and/or serious personal injury.
The compact design of the saw motor permits close cutting to
FLUSH-TO CUTTING (FIGURE M)
floors, corners and other difficult areas. The blade can be
installed upside-down to assist in flush-to cutting.
WARNING: Shock hazard. Exercise extreme caution when
POCKET/PLUNGE CUTTING – WOOD ONLY (FIGURE N)
blind cutting to ensure that there are no foreign objects such
as electrical wire, conduit, plumbing pipes, etc., that may come
in contact with the blade.
NOTE: DO NOT attempt to pocket/plunge cut metal.
• The initial step in pocket/plunge cutting is to measure the surface area to be cut
and mark clearly with a pencil, chalk or scriber.
• Use the appropriate blade for the application. The
blade should extend past the shoe and the
thickness of the workpiece during the cut.
• Insert blade in blade clamp.
• Next, tip the saw backward until the back edge of the
shoe is resting on the work surface and the blade
clears the work surface.
• Depress trigger switch to turn motor on, always
permitting blade to attain maximum speed.
• Grip saw steadily and begin a slow, deliberate upward
swing with the handle of the saw. Blade will begin to
feed into material.
• Always be sure blade is completely through material
before continuing with pocket/plunge cut.
NOTE: In areas where blade visibility is limited, use the
edge of the saw shoe as a guide. Lines for any given cut
should be extended beyond edge of cut to be made.
• Use a finer blade for ferrous metals and a coarse
METAL CUTTING (FIGURE O)
blade for non-ferrous materials.
• In thin gauge sheet metals it is best to clamp wood
to both sides of sheet. This will insure a clean cut
without excess vibration or tearing of metal.
• Always remember not to force cutting blade as
this reduces blade life and causes costly blade
breakage.
• Start the cut on the surface where the greatest
number of teeth will contact the workpiece.
NOTE: It is generally recommended that when
cutting metals you should spread a thin film of oil or
other lubricant along the line ahead of the saw cut
for easier operation and longer blade life.
