f Let the blade run freely for a few seconds before
starting the cut.
f Apply only a gentle pressure to the tool while
performing the cut.
f Work with the shoe pressed against the workpiece.
HINTS FOR OPTIMUM USE
f As some splintering along the line of cut on the top
side of the workpiece cannot be avoided, cut on the
side where splintering is acceptable.
f Where splintering is to be minimized, e.g. when
cutting laminates, clamp a piece of plywood onto the
top of the workpiece.
Pocket cutting (Fig. K)
Pocket cutting is used to cut a hole in a piece of material
without cutting from the side.
f Measure and mark work.
f Tilt saw forward and rest front of the shoe on
material to be cut. Align so that cut will begin at the
back of the drawn rectangle shown in Fig. K.
f Using the retracting lever, retract blade guard to an
upward position, with the blade just clearing the
material, start motor and gradually lower the saw into
the material.
Warning! As blade starts cutting the material, release
the retracting lever immediately.
f Never tie the blade guard in a raised position.
f When the shoe rests flat on the material being cut,
complete the cut in forward direction.
f Allow the blade to come to a complete stop before
lifting saw from material.
f When starting each new cut, repeat the above steps
Wrench storage (Fig. L)
The spanner wrench (8) can be stored on the saw shoe as
shown in Fig. L.
Attaching and removing the rip fence (Fig. M)

have a proper fitting fence, use a straight edge guide
in contact with the edge of the shoe to improve
accuracy of cut and reduce the possibility of binding
and kickback.
