that the accessory is exposed. Always hang
the tool in an area where yourself and
bystanders can not accidently make contact
with the accessory.
To reduce the risk of injury, use care in
selecting the location for hanging the tool.
• Select a suitably sized and shaped object
that will provide adequate hanging stability.
An unstable hanging surface could result in
the tool unexpectedly falling.
• Insure that the tool is hung out of the way of
walkways and
bystanders. The tool could be bumped or
a bystander could become entangled
causing the tool to unexpectedly fall.
hanging hook if it appears damaged or
deformed. This could result in unstable
hanging and the tool unexpectedly falling.
When not in use, always close hook until it
snaps into the closed position.
FOOTPLATE ADJUSTMENT
The footplate 2 tilts in order to keep as much
of its surface in contact with the work surface
(Fig. 5 [a]).
The footplate 2 can also be locked into one of
three projection positions to optimize blade life

Using the Saw

Always hold the saw by the
insulated boot on the front
and/or to reduce blade protrusion beyond the
end of the footplate, such as when cutting into
large diameter pipe or into walls. To adjust the
footplate position, simply push the footplate
release button 11 and move the footplate 2
into the desired position. The locking
mechanism is spring-loaded to lock into one of
the 3 positions on the footplate assembly. If
the footplate is pulled out so far that a notch
shows at the other end of the shaft, the
footplate assembly is extended too far out,
and must be retracted to the one of the 3
positions (Fig. 5 [b]).
Do not operate the saw
without
installed and secured.
Do not push the footplate
release button while
sawing. It will cause the footplate to release
from the desired settings and you may lose
control and be injured.
To reduce the risk of
injury, be sure the blade
extends beyond the footplate and all the
way through the workpiece throughout the
stroke. Blades may shatter if the blade hits
the footplate or hits the work at an angle that
is nearly head-on (Fig. 6).

3. Keep the saw footplate firmly against the
work to minimize counter-force (jumping)
and vibration.
4. Squeeze the trigger to start the tool. Let the
saw reach full speed before starting the cut.
Guide the saw so that the blade will move
along the marked line.
