injury,always hold the tool with both hands.
 Let the blade run freely for a few seconds before
starting the cut.
 Apply only a gentle pressure to the tool while performing
the cut.
 Work with the shoe pressed against the workpiece.
HINTS FOR OPTIMUM USE
 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.
 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.
 Measure and mark work.
 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.
 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.
 Never tie the blade guard in a raised position.
 When the shoe rests flat on the material being cut,
complete the cut in forward direction.
 Allow the blade to come to a complete stop before
lifting saw from material.
 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)
The rip fence is used to saw in a straight line parallel to the
edge of the working piece.

 Insert the rip fence (18) through the openings (19).
 Slide the rip fence into the desired position.
 Tighten the locking know.
Removing
 Loosen the locking know.
 Pull the rip fence out of the tool.
Note: If you do not 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.
