When cutting across the grain, the fibers of
m
the wood have a tendency to lift and tear,
moving the saw slowly minimizes this effect.
Pocket Cutting
Disconnect the tool from the power supply
m
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.
With the blade barely above the material
m
to be cut, start the saw and allow the blade
to come to full speed. Gradually lower the
blade into the material to be cut using the
front end of the shoe as a pivot point.
When the blade starts cutting, release the
m
lower guard.
When the shoe is resting flat on the surface
m
being cut, proceed cutting in a forward
direction to the end of the cut.
Allow the blade to come to a full stop
m
before removing it from the cut.
WARNING!
Never pull the saw backward since the blade
will climb out of the cut and kickback will
occur.
Turn the saw around and finish the cut in
m
a normal manner, sawing forward. Use a
jigsaw or a hand saw to finish the cut in the
corners, if required.
Cutting Large Sheets
Large sheet or boards require support to
m
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.

Instruction & User Manual
Support the panel or board close to the
m
cut. Be sure to set the blade adjustment
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 floor with
the two-by fours supporting the wood.
Use only 165mm saw blades which conforms
m
to EN 847-1, wood cutting only.
