OPERATION
 Rest the front of the base flat against the workpiece with
the rear handle raised so the blade does not touch the
workpiece.
DANGER:
Always check to insure that your fingers are clear
of the blade before depressing the switch trigger.
Contact with the blade will cause serious injury.
 Depress the lock-off button and squeeze the switch trigger
to start the saw. Always let the blade reach full speed
then slowly lower blade into the workpiece until base is
flat against workpiece.
 Guide the saw into the workpiece and make the cut.
WARNING:
Always cut in a forward direction when pocket cut-
ting. Cutting in the reverse direction could cause
the saw to climb up on the workpiece and back
toward you.
 Release the trigger and allow the blade to come to a
complete stop.
 Lift the saw from the workpiece.
 Clear corners out with a hand saw or jig saw.
VACUUM ATTACHMENT

vacuum hose.
To attach the vacuum attachment:
 Remove the battery pack.
 Remove the screw and set aside. Remove the dust chute.
 Position the vacuum attachment to fit into the dust chute
opening on upper blade guard.

NOTE: A 1-1/4 in. vacuum hose will fit inside the vacuum
attachment, a 1-7/8 in. vacuum hose will fit over the
vacuum attachment.

dust chute when not using a vacuum.
To remove the vacuum attachment:
