OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
9. General Cutting
WARNING
• Before connecting the tool to a power source,
always check to determine that the variable-
speed trigger switch (G) 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. Disconnect the saw from the power supply.
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. Pivot the base shoe (A) as necessary to make sure that the blade (I) will extend beyond
the shoe and the workpiece at all times.
e. Adjust the base shoe as necessary to expose unworn blade teeth for longer blade life.
f. Set the speed range as suitable for your application. The appropriate speed will vary with
different applications.
g. Check for clearance behind the workpiece so that the blade will not impact another
surface.
h. Mark the line of cut clearly. If cutting metal, apply cutting oil to the line.
i. Connect the saw to an electrical outlet.
j. Hold the saw firmly with both hands. Make sure to keep your hands on the insulated
gripping areas only and away from the cutting area of the workpiece.
k. Depress the variable-speed trigger switch (H) to start the saw. Bring it to the maximum
desired cutting speed before applying the blade to the workpiece.
l. Place the shoe base (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.
m. Reduce pressure as the blade comes to the end of the cut.
n. Allow the saw to come to a complete stop before removing the blade from the workpiece.
o. 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 operation 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.
