OPERATION
SWITCH

CUTTING OPERATIONS
WARNING:
With unit unplugged,
follow all assembly, adjustment and set up
instructions. Check the function of the
lower blade guard by pushing the lower
guard completely open using the lower
guard lever then release it to ensure the
lower blade guard closes and completely
covers the blade in a timely manner. Select
the proper blade for the material to be cut.
WARNING:
To reduce the risk of
serious personal injury,always hold the
tool with both hands.
• After switching the tool on, allow the
blade to come up to full speed before
starting to cut.
• Apply only a gentle pressure to the tool
while performing the cut.
• Always keep bottom surface of shoe in
full contact with the workpiece.
HINTS FOR OPTIMUM USE
WARNING:
Cutting plastics, sap
coated wood, and other materials may
cause melted material to accumulate on
the blade tips and the body of the saw
blade, increasing the risk of blade
overheating and binding while cutting.
• Only use sharp saw blades of the
correct type and 7-1/4 inch (184 mm)
diameter blade size hat have a 5/8
inch (16 mm) diameter bore. Blades
must be rated for 7000 RPM operation
(or higher). DO NOT use any abrasive
wheels.
• Use hardened steel saw blade for
cutting wood, aluminum, plastic and all
sorts of laminated wood.
• Use diamond saw for cutting ceramics
and tiles.
• Use carbide-tipped blade for wood
and plastic only.
• To minimize splintering of the finished
surface of the workpiece material, cut
the material with the finished surface
on the underside.
• To minimize splintering on finished
surfaces when the finished surface
cannot be placed on the underside,
such when cutting laminates, securely
clamp a sacrificial piece of plywood to
the finished surface and cut through
both materials.
RIPPING
WARNING:
serious personal injury,always hold the tool
with both hands.
• Ripping is the process of cutting wide
material into narrower strips, cutting
along the grain of the material.
• Use an accessory rip guide or clamp a
straight edge to the material to act as an
guide when making rip cuts.
POCKET CUTTING (FIG.11)
WARNING:
raised position. Never move the saw backwards when
pocket cutting. This may cause the unit to raise up off
the work surface which could cause injury.
A pocket cut is one that is made in a
floor, wall, or other flat surface.
• Adjust the saw foot plate so the blade
cuts at desired depth.
• Tilt the saw forward and rest front of the
foot plate on material to be cut.
• Using the retracting lever, retract lower
blade guard to an upward position.
Lower rear of foot plate until blade teeth
almost touch cutting line.
• Release the blade guard (its contact
with the work will keep it in position to
open freely as you start the cut). Remove
hand from guard lever and firmly grip
secondary handle (3), as shown in figure
11. Position your body and arm to allow
you to resist kickback if it occurs.
• Make sure blade is not in contact with
cutting surface before starting saw.
• Start the motor and gradually lower the
saw until its foot plate rests flat on the
material to be cut. Advance saw along
the cutting line until cut is completed as
shown in figure 11.
• Release trigger and allow blade to stop
completely before withdrawing the
blade from the material.
• When starting each new cut, repeat as
above.
