g. Use extra caution when making a "plunge cut" into
existing walls or other blind areas.The protruding blade
may cut objects that can cause kickback.

POCKET CUTTING

Pocket cutting (soft materials only) This operation re-
quires much skill with a saw and must only be carried
out by a competent person.
Warning: the blade teeth are exposed during
this operation so proceed with extreme caution.
a. Clearly mark the area to be cut.
b. Set the depth of cut on the saw.
c. Position the saw over the
marked area with the front edge of the base plate rest-
ing on the work surface and cutting guide aligned with
marked line on work-piece (See Fig 8).
d. Ensure the blade is not touching but is close to the
work surface.The moving lower guard must be rotated
open by using lever (5).
e. Switch the saw on and gently swing the blade down
into the material but maintain a pivoting force on the
front edge of the base. The moving lower guard can
now be released for normal action of the guard.

BLADE GUARDS

a. Check lower guard for proper closing before
each use. Do not operate the saw if lower guard
does not move freely and close instantly. Never
clamp or tie the lower guard into the open posi-
tion. If saw is accidentally dropped, lower guard may
be bent. Raise the lower guard with the retracting han-
dle and make sure it moves freely and does not touch
the blade or any other parts, in all angles and depths
of cut.
b. Check the operation of the lower guard spring.
If the guard and the spring are not operating
properly, they must be serviced before use. Low-
er guard may operate sluggishly due to damaged parts,
gummy deposits, or a build-up of debris.
c. Lower guard should be retracted manually only
for special cuts such as "plunge cuts" and "com-
pound cuts". Raise lower guard by retracting
handle and as soon as blade enters the material,
the lower guard must be released. For all other
sawing, the lower guard should operate automatically.
d. Always observe that the lower guard is cover-
ing the blade before placing saw down on bench
or floor. An unprotected, coasting blade will cause the
