OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
7. General Cutting
WARNING
• Before attaching the battery pack to the tool,
always check to determine that the switch
performs properly and returns to the "OFF"
position when released.
• Hold the tool only by the plastic handle and the
insulated grip area to help prevent electrical
shock. You may encounter electrical wiring when
sawing into walls or floors. Sawing into a "live"
wire will cause electric shock.
a. Remove the battery pack from the saw.
b. Make sure that the workpiece is firmly clamped
in place.
c. Use the appropriate type and size of blade for the workpiece material and size.
d. Check for clearance behind the workpiece so that the blade will not impact another
surface.
e. Mark the line of cut clearly. If cutting metal, apply cutting oil to the line.
f. Attach the battery pack to the saw.
g. Hold the saw firmly with both hands and away from you. Make sure to keep your hands on
the insulated gripping areas only.
h. Press the switch-lock button (F) to unlock the trigger switch (G) and squeeze the variable-
speed trigger switch to start the saw and bring it to the maximum desired cutting speed
before applying the blade to the workpiece.
i. Place the base shoe (A) firmly on the workpiece while cutting. Use only enough steady
pressure on the blade to keep the saw cutting; do not force the tool.
j. Reduce pressure as the blade comes to the end of the cut.
k. Allow the saw to come to a complete stop before removing the blade from the workpiece.
l. When sawing fiberglass, plaster, wallboard, or spackling compound, clean the motor vents
frequently with a vacuum or compressed air. These materials are highly abrasive and may
accelerate the wear on motor bearings and brushes.
WARNING
• Always wear safety goggles or safety glasses with side shields when using compressed air
to clean the tool. If the opation is dusty, also wear a dust mask.
NOTICE: Cutting speeds should vary with the workpiece. Hard materials, such as metals,
require lower speeds; for softer materials use higher speeds. Do not force the saw. Let the
blade and saw do the work.
