OPERATION

STARTING/STOPPING THE SAW (FIG. 18)

1. Plug in the tool.

2. To start the saw, press and hold the plunge lock but-

ton, then pull the power trigger. Once the saw reaches

maximum speed, plunge the saw downwards.

3. To stop the saw, release the power trigger. Allow the

blade to come to a complete stop.

NOTE: Do not remove your saw from the workpiece

while the blade is still moving.

OPERATING THE SAW (FIG. 19)

1. Hold the tool firmly with both hands, using both the

front grip and the rear handle. Avoid placing your hand

on the workpiece while making a cut.

2. Place the workpiece with the “good” side down.

3. Set-up and support the workpiece so the cut is always

on your right side. The larger (left) side of the saw’s base

should be on the part that does not fall off when a cut

is made.

4. Securely clamp the workpiece so it will not move dur-

ing the cut. If you are cutting with the track, use two

clamps to clamp the track to the workpiece. If you are

cutting without the track, place a clamp as close to the

base of the saw as possible to support the workpiece.

Make sure the clamp is as close to the cut as possible

without getting in the way of the saw’s line of motion.

Instructions continue on the next page.

WARNING: Do not plug in or turn on the tool until it is fully assembled according to the instructions. Read

through and become familiarized with the following procedures of handling and adjusting your track saw. Failure

to follow the safety instructions may result in serious personal injury.

WARNING: Always let the blade reach full speed before guiding the saw into the workpiece. The blade com-

ing into contact with the workpiece before reaching full speed, could cause your saw to KICKBACK towards you

resulting in serious personal injury.

WARNING: If, while operating the saw, the cord hangs up on the workpiece or some other object during

a cut, release the switch trigger immediately. Unplug the saw and reposition the cord to prevent it from hanging

up again.
