Blade guard cleaning

When changing blade, make sure to also clean the

upper and lower blade guards of accumulated metal

chips as discussed in the Maintenance section. Such

efforts do not replace the need to check lower guard

operation before each use.

Rip fence (guide rule) (Accessory)

► 1 . Rip fence (Guide rule) 2. Screw

The handy rip fence (guide rule) allows you to do

extra-accurate straight cuts. Simply slide the rip fence

up snugly against the side of the workpiece and secure

it in position with the clamp screw on the front of the

base. It also makes repeated cuts of uniform width

possible.

OPERATION

CAUTION:

•

Never twist or force the tool in the cut. This may

cause motor overload and/or a dangerous kick-

back, resulting in serious injury to the operator.

► 1 . Carbide-tipped saw blade 2. Workpiece

Hold the tool firmly with both hand. Set the base plate

on the workpiece to be cut without the blade making any

contact. Then turn the tool on and wait until the blade

attains full speed. Move the tool forward over the work-

piece surface, keeping it flat and advancing smoothly

until the cutting is completed. Keep your cutting line

straight and your speed of advance uniform.

The sight window in the base makes it easy to check

the distance between the front edge of the saw blade

and the workpiece whenever the blade is set to the

maximum depth of cut.
