cuts at desired depth.
• Tilt the saw forward and rest front of
the foot plate on material to be cut.
• Using the retracting lever, retract lower
blade guard to an upward position.
Lower rear of foot plate until blade
teeth almost touch cutting line.

with the work will keep it in position to
open freely as you start the cut).
Remove hand from guard lever and
firmly grip secondary handle (3), as
shown in figure 11. Position your body
and arm to allow you to resist kickback
if it occurs.
• Make sure blade is not in contact with
cutting surface before starting saw.

saw until its foot plate rests flat on the
material to be cut. Advance saw along
the cutting line until cut is completed as
shown in figure 11.
• Release trigger and allow blade to stop
completely before withdrawing the
blade from
the material.
• When starting each new cut, repeat as
above.
