WARNING: Exercise extra caution when cutting towards operator.
Always hold saw firmly with both hands while cutting.
Before cutting any type of material, be sure it is firmly anchored or
clamped to prevent slipping. Place blade lightly against work to be
cut, switch on saw motor and allow it to obtain maximum speed
before applying pressure. Whenever possible, the saw shoe must be
held firmly against the material being cut (Fig. 10). This will prevent the
saw from jumping or vibrating and minimize blade breakage. Any cuts
which put pressure on the blade such as angle or scroll cuts increase
potential for vibration, kickback, and blade breakage.

WARNING: Use extra caution when cutting overhead and pay
particular attention to overhead wires which may be hidden from
view. Anticipate the path of falling branches and debris ahead of time.
WARNING: Inspect work site for hidden gas pipes, water pipes,
or electrical wires before making blind or plunge cuts. Failure to do
so may result in explosion, property damage, electric shock, and/or
serious personal injury.
FLUSH-TO CUTTING (FIG. 11)
The compact design of the saw motor housing and spindle housing
permits extremely close cutting to floors, corners and other difficult
areas.

POCKET/PLUNGE CUTTING – WOOD ONLY (FIG. 12)
The initial step in pocket cutting is to measure the surface area to be
cut and mark clearly with a pencil, chalk or scriber. Use the appropriate
blade for the application. The blade should be longer than 3-1/2"
(89 mm) and should extend past the shoe and the thickness of the
workpiece during the cut. Insert blade in blade clamp.
Next, tip the saw backward until the back edge of the shoe is resting
on the work surface and the blade clears the work surface (position 1,
Fig. 12). Now switch motor on, and allow saw to come up to speed.
Grip saw firmly with both hands and begin a slow, deliberate upward
swing with the handle of the saw, keeping the bottom of the shoe
firmly in contact with the workpiece (position 2, Fig. 12). Blade will
begin to feed into material. Always be sure blade is completely through
material before continuing with pocket cut.
