Cutting (Fig. A, L)
WARNING: When cutting thin strips, be careful to ensure
that small cutoff pieces don't hang up on the inside of the
lower blade guard.
Place the wider portion of the saw shoe
the workpiece which is solidly supported, not on the section
that will fall off when the cut is made. As an example,
Figure L 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 trigger switch
to come to a complete stop. Then you can withdraw the
saw, sight anew, and start a new cut slightly inside the
wrong one. 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 SWITCH 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 switch and allow the
blade to stop before lifting the saw from the work. As you
lift the saw, the spring‑tensioned lower blade guard
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 lower blade guard
manually (as is necessary for starting pocket cuts), always
use the retracting lever.
Ripping (Fig. A, O)
Ripping is the process of cutting wider boards into narrower
strips – cutting grain lengthwise. Hand guiding is more
difficult for this type of sawing and the use of a rip fence
is recommended.
installing the Rip Fence
You can install a rip fence
loosening the rip fence locking screw
blade wrench

and inserting the rip fence as shown in
Figure O. When the rip fence is at the desired position, use
the blade wrench to tighten the rip fence locking screw,
locking it in place.
Pocket Cutting (Fig. A, J)
WARNING: Never tie the lower blade guard in a raised
position. Never move the saw backwards when pocket
cutting. This may cause the saw to raise up off the work
surface, which could cause injury.

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 shoe
rests flat on the material to be cut. Advance saw along the
cutting line until cut is completed.
7. Release the trigger switch
completely before withdrawing the blade from the material.
8. When starting each new cut, repeat the above steps.
