TO REMOVE BLADE FROM SAW
1. Open up blade clamp release lever.
2. Remove blade.
Cutting (Figure 6)
CAUTION: Always wear eye protection while operating this
power tool.
CAUTION: Exercise extra caution when cutting towards operator.
Always hold saw firmly with both hands while cutting.
Before cutting any type of material,
be sure it is firmly anchored or
clamped to prevent slipping. Place
blade lightly against work to be
cut, switch on saw motor and
allow it to obtain maximum speed
before applying pressure.
Whenever possible, the saw shoe must be held firmly against the
material being cut. This will prevent the saw from jumping or vibrat-
ing and minimize blade breakage. Any cut which puts pressure on the
blade such as angle or scroll cuts increase potential for vibration,
kickback, and blade breakage.
CAUTION: Use extra caution when cutting overhead and pay par-
ticular attention to overhead wires which may be hidden from view.
Anticipate the path of falling branches and
debris ahead of time.
CAUTION: Inspect work site for hidden gas
pipes, water pipes, or electrical wires before
making blind or plunge cuts. Failure to do
so may result in explosion, property damage,
electric shock, and/or serious personal injury.
FLUSH-TO CUTTING (FIGURE 7)
The compact design of the saw motor housing
and spindle housing permits extremely close cut-
ting to floors, corners and other difficult areas.

POCKET/PLUNGE CUTTING –
WOOD ONLY (FIG. 8)
The initial step in pocket cutting is
to measure the surface area to be
cut and mark clearly with a pencil,
chalk or scriber. Use the appropri-
ate blade for the application. The
blade should be longer than 3 1/2"
and should extend past the shoe
and the thickness of the workpiece
during the cut. Insert blade in blade
clamp. Next, tip the saw backward
until the back edge of the shoe is
resting on the work surface and
the blade clears the work surface.
Now switch motor on, always per-
mitting blade to attain maximum
speed. Grip handle steadily and begin a slow, deliberate upward swing
with the handle of the saw. Blade will begin to feed into material.
Always be sure blade is completely through material before continuing
with pocket cut.
NOTE: In areas where blade visibility is limited, use the edge of the
saw shoe as a guide. Lines for any given cut should be extended
beyond edge of cut to be made.
METAL CUTTING (FIGURE 9)
This unit has different metal cutting
capacities depending upon type of
blade used and the metal to be
cut. Use a finer blade for ferrous
metals and a coarse blade for non-
ferrous materials. In thin gauge
sheet metals it is best to clamp
wood to both sides of sheet. This
will insure a clean cut without
excess vibration or tearing of
