6. OPERATION
General cut
a)
When starting, always hold the saw handle with one hand and the auxiliary
handle with the other hand. Never force the saw but maintain a light and continu-
ous pressure after completing the cut allow the saw to come to a complete stop.
When cutting is interrupted, resume cutting by allowing the blade to reach full
speed and then reentering the cut slowly.
b)
When cutting across the grain, the bers of the wood have a tendency to lift
and tear, moving the saw slowly minimizes this e ect.
Pocket cut
a)
Disconnect the plug from the power supply before making any adjustments.
Set the depth adjustment based on the thickness of the line drawing for the cut.
Raise the lower guard by using the lift lever.
b)
With the blade barely above the material to be cut, start the saw and allow the
blade to come to full speed. Gradually lower the blade unto the material to be cut
using the front end of the shoe as a pivot point. When the blade starts cutting,
release the lower guard. When the shoe is resting at on the surface being cut,
proceed cutting in a forward direction to the end of the cut. Allow the blade to come
to a full stop before removing it from the cut. Never pull the saw backward since the
blade will climb out of the cut and kickback will occur. Turn the saw around and
nish the cut in a normal manner, sawing forward. Use a jigsaw or a hand saw to
nish the cut in the corners, if required.
Cutting Large Sheets
a)
Large sheet or boards require support to prevent bends or sags. If you attempt
to cut without leveling and properly supporting the work piece, the blade will tend
to bind, causing kickback.
b)
Support the panel or board close to the cut. Be sure to set the blade adjust-
ment so that you can cut through the material without cutting into the table or
workbench.
Suggestion: use two by fours to support the board or panel to be
cut. If the piece is too large for the workbench, use the oor with the two-by fours
supporting the wood.
Dust extraction
a)
The circular saw is equipped with a dust extraction port, Can connect to Dexter
vacuum 35mm aperture.
