Parallel cut adjustment (see fig.9)
• Loosen the lock knob of parallel guide.
• Slide the parallel guide through the slots in the shoe to the
desired width.
• Tighten the lock bolt to fit it in the position.
• Ensure that the edge guide rests against the wood along its
entire length to give a consistent parallel cut.
TEMPERATURE CONTROL /OVERLOAD PROTECTION
When the temperature of battery is too high and the machine switches off automatically.
• Switch the power tool off.
• Allow the battery to cool down before continuing to work.
When the power tool is blocked and switches off automatically.
• Remove the power tool from the workpiece.
• As soon as the blockage is corrected, the power tool will continue to work at the set stroke rate.
CUTTING TIPS
General cutting
 When starting, always hold the saw handle with one hand and the auxiliary handle with the other hand.
Never force the saw but maintain a light and continuous pressure after completing the cut allow the
saw to come to a complete stop. When cutting is interrupted, resume cutting by allowing the blade to
reach full speed and then reentering the cut slowly.
 When cutting across the grain, the fibers of the wood have a tendency to lift and tear, moving the saw
slowly minimizes this effect.
Pocket cutting
 Disconnect the plug from the power supply before making any adjustments. Set the depth adjustment
based on the thickness of the line drawing for the cut. raise the lower guard by using the lift lever.
 With the blade barely above the material to be cut, start the saw and allow the blade to come to full
speed. Gradually lower the blade unto the material to be cut using the front end of the shoe as a pivot
point. When the blade starts cutting, release the lower guard. When the shoe is resting flat on the
surface being cut, proceed cutting in a forward direction to the end of the cut. Allow the blade to come
to a full stop before removing it from the cut. Never pull the saw backward since the blade will climb
out of the cut and kickback will occur. Turn the saw around and finish the cut in a normal manner,
sawing forward. Use a jigsaw or a hand saw to finish the cut in the corners, if required.
Cutting Large Sheets
 Large sheet or boards require support to prevent bends or sags. If you attempt to cut without leveling
and properly supporting the work piece, the blade will tend to bind, causing kickback.
 Support the panel or board close to the cut. Be sure to set the blade adjustment so that you can cut
through the material without cutting into the table or workbench. Suggestion: use two by fours to
support the board or panel to be cut. If the piece is too large for the workbench, use the floor with the
two-by fours supporting the wood.
