General Cutting

Hold your saw firmly in front and clearly away from you. Make sure saw blade is clear of any foreign

material and that power cord and extension cord are out of the blade path. Be sure material to be cut is

held firmly. Small work pieces should be securely clamped in a vice or with clamps to the work bench or

table. Mark the line of cut clearly. Pull in the power switch to start the cutting action. Set the shoe on the

work. DO NOT FORCE. Use only enough pressure to keep the saw cutting. Allow the blade and saw to

do the work.

Plunge Cutting

Clearly mark the line of cut. From a convenient starting point within the cut out area, place the tip of the

blade over that point with saw parallel to the line of cut. Slowing lower the saw until the button edge of

the shoe rests on the workpiece. Start the saw and allow it to attain full speed. With the saw resting on the

shoe, slowly let the saw forward to lower the blade onto the cut line. Continue this motion until the saw

blade is perpendicular to the workpiece.

WARNING: Make sure the blade does not touch the workpiece until the saw reaches its

max speed set on the speed Adjust Dial. Failure to comply could cause loss of control and

result in serious injury.
