NOTE: You should spread a thin film of oil or other coolant
along the line ahead of the saw cut for easier operation
and longer blade life. For cutting aluminum, kerosene
is preferred.

Pocket Cutting - Wood Only (Fig. K)
Measure the surface area to be cut and mark clearly with a
pencil, chalk or scriber.
1. Insert blade in blade clamp and tighten blade
clamp securely.
2. Tip the saw backward until the back edge of the
pivoting shoe is firmly on the work surface.
3. Switch motor on, permitting blade to attain
maximum speed.
4. Grip handle steadily and begin a slow, deliberate
upward swing with the handle of the saw.
5. The blade will begin to feed into material. Always
be sure blade is completely through material before
continuing with pocket cut.
NOTE: In areas where blade visibility is limited, use the
edge of the pivoting shoe as a guide.

Project Tips
• Cut only with sharp blades; they cut cleaner, faster and put
less strain on the motor while cutting.
• When cutting, always ensure that the pivoting shoe
is resting against the workpiece. This will improve
operator control and minimize vibration.
• For longer blade life, use bi-metal blades. These
utilize a carbon steel back welded to high speed steel
teeth making the blade more flexible and less prone
to breaking.
