This tool is intended for cutting unhardened ferrous metal, non-ferrous
metal, plastics, fiber cement board, and wood. Refer to the "Accessories"
section for a list of blades to be used for the proper applications of this
tool. The following precautions must be followed to reduce the risk of
injury:
• Do not cut stacked materials. Cut one piece at a time.
• Do not cut hardened steel.
• Cut materials with the wider edge of the shoe over the clamped side
of the material.
• Do not touch the saw blade, workpiece, or cutting chips with bare
hands immediately after cutting; they may be hot and could burn
skin.
Cutting Angled Materials (Fig. 6 & 7)
When cutting angle materials, tilt the tool back to avoid having the lower
guard rest on the angle.

Cutting Thin or Corrugated Materials
Cut thin and corrugated materials at least 1" 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.
Cutting Large Sheets
Large sheets sag or bend if they are not correctly supported. If you at-
tempt to cut without leveling and properly supporting the workpiece, the
blade will tend to bind, causing KICKBACK.
Support large sheets. Be sure to set the depth of the cut so that you only
cut through the workpiece, not through the supports.
When cutting widths greater than 4", clamp or tack 1" lumber to work-
piece and use the inside edge of the shoe as a guide.
APPLICATIONS
To reduce the risk of electric shock, check work area
for hidden pipes and wires before making pocket
cuts.
Pocket Cutting (Fig. 8)
Pocket cuts are made in the middle of the workpiece when it can not be
cut from an edge. We recommend using a Sawzall
jig saw for this type of cut. However, if you must use a circular saw to
make a pocket cut, USE EXTREME CAUTION. To maintain control of the
saw during pocket cutting, keep both hands on the saw (Fig. 8).

1. Beginning at a corner, line up the sight line with your cutting line. Tilt
the saw forward, firmly fixing the front of the shoe on the workpiece.
The blade should be just above cutting line, but not touching it. Raise
the lower guard using the lower guard lever.
2. To start the saw, push the lock-off button down while pulling the trig-
ger. Allow the motor to reach full speed before beginning cut. Using
the front of the shoe as a hinge point, gradually lower the back end of
the saw into the workpiece. Release the lower guard lever and grasp
the front handle.
3. When the shoe rests flat against workpiece, advance the saw to the
far corner. Release the trigger and allow the blade to come to a com-
plete stop before removing it from workpiece. Repeat the above steps
for each side of the opening. Use a Sawzall
saw or small hand saw to finish the corners if they are not completely
cut through.
