OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
5. General Cutting
WARNING
• Before connecting the tool to a power source,
always check to determine that the switch
performs properly and returns to the “OFF”
position when released.
• Hold the tool only by the plastic handle and the
insulated grip area to help prevent electrical
shock. You may encounter electrical wiring when
sawing into walls or oors. Sawing into a “live”
wire will cause electric shock.
a. Disconnect the saw from the power supply.
b. Make sure that the workpiece is rmly clamped
in place.
c. Use the appropriate type and size of blade for the workpiece material and size.
d. Check for clearance behind the workpiece so that the blade will not impact another
surface.
e. Mark the line of cut clearly. If cutting metal, apply cutting oil to the line.
f. Connect the saw to an electrical outlet.
g. Hold the saw rmly in front of and away from you.
NOTICE: The barrel-style grip of this saw is designed for one-handed use only. Keep your
other hand away from the saw and the cutting area of the workpiece.
h. Depress the variable-speed trigger switch (E) to start the saw. Bring it to the maximum
desired cutting speed before applying the blade to the workpiece.
i. Place the base shoe (A) rmly on the workpiece while cutting. Use only enough steady
pressure on the blade to keep the saw cutting; do not force the tool.
j. Allow the saw to come to a complete stop before removing the blade from the workpiece.
WARNING
• Always wear safety goggles or safety glasses with side shields when using compressed air to
clean the tool. If the operation is dusty, also wear a dust mask.
NOTICE: Cutting speeds should vary with the workpiece. Hard materials, such as metals,
require lower speeds; for softer materials use higher speeds. Do not force the saw. Let the
blade and saw do the work.
