To increase switch life, do not turn switch on and off while cutting. GENERAL CUTS Always hold the saw handle with one hand and the auxiliary handle or housing with the other. !WARNING Always be sure either hand does not interfere with the free movement of the lower guard. Maintain a firm grip and operate the switch with a decisive action. Never force the saw. Use light and continuous pressure. !WARNING After completing a cut and the trigger has been released, be aware of the necessary time it takes for the blade to come to a complete stop during coast down. Do not allow the saw to brush against your leg or side, since the lower guard is retractable, it could catch on your clothing and expose the blade. Be aware of the necessary blade exposures that exist in both the upper and lower guard areas. When cutting is interrupted, to resume cutting: squeeze the trigger and allow the blade to reach full speed, re-enter the cut slowly and resume cutting. When cutting across the grain, the fibers of the wood have a tendency to tear and lift. Advancing the saw slowly minimizes this effect. For a finished cut, a cross cut blade or miter blade is recommended. CUTTING MASONRY/METAL This tool is not recommended for continuous and general usage with metal or masonry cutoff wheels. If you use your saw for cutting these materials, use the appropriate wheel for the material being cut. When cutting masonry, do not cut a depth of more than 1/4 inch (6 mm). Make successive passes to achieve desired depth. Apply a light forward pressure. Do not overload motor. Disconnect plug from power source and clean dust from air vents frequently. Metal cutting is done at full depth. !WARNING Clean guards frequently to assure a rapid return of lower guard. The lower guard may become sluggish when cutting masonry materials. !WARNING Abrasive Cut Off Wheels must have a maximum safe operating speed greater than the .no load RPM. marked on the tool.s nameplate. Wheels running over the rated speed can fly apart and cause injury. !WARNING Do not use the abrasive cut off wheel near flammable materials. Sparks from the wheel could ignite these materials. !WARNING This machine is not intended to be used with Wet Diamond Wheels. Using water or other liquid coolants with this machine may result in electrocution or shock. Use of Dry Diamond Wheels is acceptable. -11 BM 2610919169 10-03 10/23/03 11:54 AM Page 12 POCKET CUTS Disconnect the plug from the power source before making adjustments. Set depth adjustment according to material to be cut. Tilt saw forward with cutting guide notch lined up with the line you’ve drawn. Raise the lower guard, using lift lever and hold the saw by the front and rear handles (Fig. 8). With the blade just clearing the material to be cut, start the motor. Gradually lower the back end of saw using the front end of the foot as the hinge point. !WARNING As blade starts cutting the material, release the lower guard immediately. When the foot rests flat on the surface being cut, proceed cutting in forward direction to end of cut. !WARNING Allow blade to come to a complete stop before lifting the saw from cut. Also, never pull the saw backward since blade will climb out of the material and KICKBACK will occur. Turn saw around and finish the cut in the normal manner, sawing forward. If corners of your pocket cut are not completely cut through, use a jigsaw or hand saw to finish the corners. LOWER GUARD LIFT LEVER LINE GUIDE FOOT FIG. 8 CUTTING LARGE SHEETS Large sheets and long boards sag or bend, depending on support. If you attempt to cut without leveling and properly supporting the piece, the blade will tend to bind, causing KICKBACK and extra load on the motor (Fig. 9). Support the panel or board close to the cut, as shown in (Fig. 10). Be sure to set the depth of the cut so that you cut through the sheet or board only and not the table or work bench. The two-by-fours used to raise and support the work should be positioned so that the broadest sides support the work and rest on the table or bench. Do not support the work with the narrow sides as this is an unsteady arrangement. If the sheet or board to be cut is too large for a table or work bench, use the supporting two-by-fours on the floor and secure.

Ripping is cutting lengthwise with the grain of the wood. Rip cuts are easy to do with a rip fence (Fig. 11). Rip Fence is available as an accessory (not included). To attach fence, insert fence through slots in foot to desired width as shown and secure with the thumb screw (not included). RIP BOARD GUIDE When rip cutting large sheets, the rip fence may not allow the desired width of cut. Clamp or nail a straight piece of 1" (25 mm) lumber to the sheet as a guide (Fig. 12). Use the right side of the foot against the board guide. FIG. 11 FIG. 12 DESIRED WIDTH RIP ...
