To use the branch jaw clamp, place the saw on the workpiece
as shown (Fig. 9). Switch on the saw and push it against
the workpiece. The branch jaw clamp will help to guide the
equipment in a straight line.

General Cutting Procedures
m
WARNING!
Cutting into electrical wiring can cause
the blade and the blade clamp to become electrically live. Do
not touch metal parts when cutting into a wall; grasp only the
insulated surfaces on the tool. Make sure hidden electrical
wiring, water pipes, and mechanical hazards are not in the
blade path when cutting into a wall.
m
WARNING!
Make sure the blade does not touch the
workpiece until the motor reaches full speed, since this could
cause loss of control resulting in serious injury.
• Secure the workpiece to a work bench or table with a
vise/clamps (Fig. 10). Or use the equipped branch jaw
clamp to secure the workpiece (Fig. 9).

• Allow the saw blade to reach full cutting speed.
• Set the guide plate against the workpiece.
NOTE: The guide plate helps to stabilize the saw and even
the material that being cut. It can also reduce the vibration
of the saw significantly.
• With slight pressure, move the blade into the workpiece.
NOTE: Do not force. Use only enough pressure to keep
the saw cutting. Let the blade and saw do the work.

WARNING!
Blades longer than 6 in. can whip and
should not be used for plunge cutting. Failure to heed this
warning can result in serious personal injury.

DANGER OF KICKBACK!
m
WARNING!
Make sure the blade does not touch the
workpiece until the motor reaches full speed, since this could
cause loss of control resulting in serious injury.
• Before cutting, remove the branch jaw clamp.
• Rest the front edge of the guide plate on the workpiece
and hold it firmly in position during the cut (Fig. 11). The
guide plate will act like the fulcrum for deep cuts because
it raises the back end of the saw. Using the guide plate
like a pivot point allows you to go deep in the material with
precise control.
