LINE GUIDE
For a straight 90 ° cut, use right side of notch in
the foot. For 45o-56 ° bevel cuts, use the left
side (Fig. 7). The cutting guide notch will give
an approximate
line of cut. Make sample cuts
in scrap lumber to verify actual line of cut. This
will be helpful
because
of the number
of
different
blade
types
and
thicknesses
available.
To ensure
minimum
splintering
on
the good side of the material to be cut, face
the good side down.

SWITCH
When
starting
the
tool,
hold
it with
both
hands.
The torque from the motor can cause the tool
to twist.
To turn tool "ON", squeeze the trigger switch.
To turn the tool "OFF", release the trigger
switch, which is spring loaded and will return
to the off position automatically.
Your saw should be running at full speed
BEFORE starting the cut, and turned off only
AFTER completing the cut. To increase switch
life, do not turn switch on and off while cutting.
GENERAL CUTS
Always hold the saw handle with one hand
and the auxiliary handle or housing with the
other.
_
Always
be sure either hand
does not interfere
with the
free movement
of the lower guard.
Maintain
a firm grip and operate
the switch
with a decisive
action.
Never force the saw.
Use light and continuous
pressure.
_
fter completing
a cut and
the
trigger
has
been
released,
be aware of the necessary
time it
takes for the blade to come
to a complete
stop
during
coast
down.
Do not allow
the
saw
to brush
against
your
leg or side,
since
the
lower
guard
is retractable,
it
could
catch
on your
clothing
and expose
the blade.
Be aware of the necessary
blade
exposures
that exist
in both
the upper
and
lower guard
areas.
When cutting is interrupted,
to resume cutting:
squeeze
the trigger
and allow
the blade to
reach full speed,
re-enter
the cut slowly and
resume cutting.
When
cutting
across
the grain,
the fibers
of
the wood
have a tendency
to tear and lift.
Advancing
the saw
slowly
minimizes
this
effect. For a finished cut, a cross cut blade or
miter blade is recommended.
CUTTING
MASONRY/METAL
This tool is not recommended
for continuous
and general
usage with metal or masonry cut-
off wheels.
If you use your
saw for cutting
these materials,
use the appropriate
wheel for
the material being cut.
When cutting
masonry,
do not cut a depth of
more than 1/4 inch (6 mm). Make successive
passes to achieve desired depth. Apply a light
forward
pressure.
Do not overload
motor.
Disconnect
plug from power source and clean
dust from air vents frequently.
Metal cutting is
done at full depth.
_
Clean guards
frequently
to
assure
a rapid
return
of
lower guard.
The lower guard may become
sluggish when cutting masonry materials.
_
brasive
Cut
Off
Wheels
must
have
a maximum
safe operating
speed
greater
than
the "no
load
RPM"
marked
on
the
tool's
nameplate.
Wheels
running
over the rated
speed can fly apart and cause injury.
Do not
use
the abrasive
cut
off
wheel
near
flammable
materials.
Sparks
from
the
wheel could ignite these materials.
This
machine
is
not
intended
to be used
with
Wet Diamond
Wheels.
Using water or other
liquid coolants
with this machine
may result
in electrocution
or shock.
Use
of Dry
Diamond
Wheels
is acceptable.
