Proper Hand Position (Fig. V)
WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal injury,
ALWAYS use proper hand position as shown.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal
injury, ALWAYS hold securely in anticipation of a
sudden reaction.
Proper hand position requires one hand on the main handle
with the other hand on the auxiliary handle

is activated when the trigger switch is
depressed. When the trigger is released, the worklight will stay
illuminated for up to 20 seconds.
nOTE: The worklight is for lighting the immediate work surface
and is not intended to be used as a flashlight.

To run the tool, press the trigger switch
trigger switch is released, the lock-off switch is automatically
activated to prevent unintended starting of the machine.
NOTICE: Do not switch the tool ON or OFF when the saw
blade touches the workpiece or other materials.
Workpiece Support (Fig. W–Z)
WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal
injury, support the work properly and hold the saw
firmly to prevent loss of control.
Fig. W and Y show proper sawing position. Fig. X and Z show an
unsafe condition. Hands should be kept away from cutting.
To avoid kickback, ALWAYS support board or panel NEAR the
cut, (Fig. W and Y). DON'T support board or panel away from the
cut (Fig. X, Z).
ALWAYS DISCONNECT BATTERY PACK BEFORE MAKING ANY
ADJUSTMENTS! Place the work with its "good" side—the one
on which appearance is most important—down. The saw cuts
upward, so any splintering will be on the work face that is up
when you saw it.
Cutting (Fig. Y)
WARNING: Never attempt to use this tool by resting it
upside down on a work surface and bringing the material
to the tool. Always securely clamp the workpiece and bring
the tool to the workpiece, securely holding the tool with
two hands as shown in Fig. Y.
Place the wider portion of the saw base plate on that part of the
work piece which is solidly supported, not on the section that
will fall off when the cut is made. As examples, Fig. Y illustrates
the RIGHT way to cut off the end of a board. Always clamp work.
Don't try to hold short pieces by hand! Remember to support
cantilevered and overhanging material. Use caution when
sawing material from below.

Be sure saw is up to full speed before blade contacts material
to be cut. Starting saw with blade against material to be cut
or pushed forward into kerf can result in kickback. Push the
saw forward at a speed which allows the blade to cut without
laboring. Hardness and toughness can vary even in the same
piece of material, and knotty or damp sections can put a heavy
load on the saw. When this happens, push the saw more slowly,
but hard enough to keep working without much decrease
in speed. Forcing the saw can cause rough cuts, inaccuracy,
kickback, and over-heating of the motor. Should your cut begin
to go off the line, don't try to force it back on. Release the switch
and allow blade to come to a complete stop. Then you can
withdraw the saw, sight anew, and start a new cut slightly inside
the wrong one. In any event, withdraw the saw if you must shift
the cut. Forcing a correction inside the cut can stall the saw and
lead to kickback.
IF SAW STALLS, RELEASE THE TRIGGER AND BACK THE SAW
UNTIL IT IS LOOSE. BE SURE BLADE IS STRAIGHT IN THE CUT AND
CLEAR OF THE CUTTING EDGE BEFORE RESTARTING.
As you finish a cut, release the trigger and allow the blade to
stop before lifting the saw from the work. As you lift the saw,
the spring-tensioned telescoping guard will automatically close
under the blade. Remember the blade is exposed until this
occurs. Never reach under the work for any reason. When you
have to retract the telescoping guard manually (as is necessary
for starting pocket cuts) always use the retracting lever.
nOTE: When cutting thin strips, be careful to ensure that small
cutoff pieces don't hang up on inside of lower guard.
Pocket Cutting (Fig. AA)
WARNING: Never tie the blade guard in a raised position.
Never move the saw backwards when pocket cutting. This
may cause the unit to raise up off the work surface which
could cause injury.
A pocket cut is one that is made in a floor, wall or other
flat surface.
1. Adjust the saw base plate so the blade cuts at desired depth.
2. Tilt the saw forward and rest front of the base plate on
material to be cut.
3. Using the lower guard lever, retract lower blade guard to an
upward position. Lower rear of base plate until blade teeth
almost touch cutting line.
4. Release the blade guard (its contact with the work will keep
it in position to open freely as you start the cut). Remove
hand from guard lever and firmly grip auxiliary handle
shown in Fig. AA. Position your body and arm to allow you
to resist kickback if it occurs.
5. Make sure blade is not in contact with cutting surface before
starting saw.
6. Start the motor and gradually lower the saw until its base
plate rests flat on the material to be cut. Advance saw along
the cutting line until cut is completed.
7. Release trigger and allow blade to stop completely before
withdrawing the blade from the material.
8. When starting each new cut, repeat as above.
