lifting the saw from cut. Also, never pull
the saw backward since blade will climb
out of the material and KICKBACK will
occur. Turn saw around and finish the cut
in the normal manner, sawing forward. If
corners of your pocket cut are not
completely cut through, use a jigsaw or
hand saw to finish the corners.
Disconnect battery pack from tool before
making adjustments. Set depth adjustment
according to material to be cut. Reattach
battery pack to the saw. Tilt saw forward

line you've drawn. Raise the lower guard,
using lift lever 9 and hold the saw by the
front and rear handles (Fig. 10).
With the blade just clearing the material to
be cut, start the motor. Gradually lower the
back end of saw using the front end of the
foot 10 as the hinge point.
Cutting Large Sheets
Large sheets and long boards sag or bend,
depending on support. If you attempt to
cut
without
supporting the piece, the blade will tend to
bind, causing KICKBACK and extra load on
the motor (Fig. 11).

used to raise and support the work should
be positioned so that the broadest sides
support the work and rest on the table or
bench. Do not support the work with the
narrow sides as this is an unsteady
arrangement. If the sheet or board to be
cut is too large for a table or work bench,
use the supporting two-by-fours on the
floor and secure.
