OPERATION

CAUTION:

Be sure to move the tool forward in a straight line

•

gently. Forcing or twisting the tool will result in

overheating the motor and dangerous kickback,

possibly causing severe injury.

Hold the tool firmly. The tool is provided with both a front

grip and rear handle. Use both to best grasp the tool. If

both hands are holding saw, they cannot be cut by the

blade. Set the base 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. Now simply move the

tool forward over the workpiece surface, keeping it flat

and advancing smoothly until the sawing is completed.

To get clean cuts, keep your sawing line straight and your

speed of advance uniform. If the cut fails to properly

follow your intended cut line, do not attempt to turn or

force the tool back to the cut line. Doing so may bind the

blade and lead to dangerous kickback and possible

serious injury. Release switch, wait for blade to stop and

then withdraw tool. Realign tool on new cut line, and start

cut again. Attempt to avoid positioning which exposes

operator to chips and wood dust being ejected from saw.

Use eye protection to help avoid injury.

CAUTION:

The riving knife should always be used except

Rip fence (Guide rule)

The handy rip fence 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 screw on the front of the base. It also makes repeated

cuts

uniform

possible.

MAINTENANCE

CAUTION:

Always be sure that the tool is switched off and

•

unplugged before attempting to perform inspection

•

like. Discoloration, deformation or cracks may

result.
