Operation—Power Tool (cont'd)

For Proper Use (further detail)

• Use an appropriate device to properly hold the
material being cut. Do not hold the material with
your hand.
• Hold the tool firmly with both hands to prevent
loss of control.
• Make sure bystanders are away from work area
and from underneath work piece.
Failure to observe these warnings could result in
serious injury.
Cutting Large Sheets
Support large sheets. Be sure to set the depth of the
cut so that you only cut through the work piece, not
through the supports (Fig. 10).
Large sheets sag or bend if they are not correctly
supported. If you attempt to cut without levelling and
properly supporting the work piece, the blade will tend
to bind, causing kickback (Fig. 11).
Do not support the material away from the cut.

Cutting Thin or Corrugated Materials
Cut thin and corrugated materials at least 1" (25 mm)
from the edge of the work piece to avoid injury or
damage to the tool caused by thin strips of metal being
pulled into the upper guard.
Use sharp blades only. Clean and sharp blades
minimize stalling and kickback.
Additional Cutting Information
• When making an incomplete cut, or cutting is
interrupted, or blade is binding, or tool is stalling,
release the power switch immediately and hold
the tool motionless in the material until the blade
comes to a complete stop.
• To avoid kickback, never attempt to remove the
tool from the work or pull the tool backward while
the blade is in motion. Make sure the blade has
come to a complete stop and then remove the
tool from cut.
• To resume cutting, start tool, allow the blade
to reach full speed, reenter the cut slowly, and
resume cutting.
Failure to observe these warnings could result in
serious injury.
1. Place the wider part of the shoe on the part of
the work piece that is solidly supported (Fig. 12),
never on the section that will fall off when the cut
is made (Fig. 13). Hold the tool firmly to prevent
loss of control. Working carelessly can cause
severe personal injury.
Figure 12 shows proper cutting position. Note that
hands are kept away from the cutting area.
