7. Cutting lumber
When cutting lumber, make sure that the workpiece is
fastened fi rmly before beginning. (Fig. 28)
CAUTION
Never apply any unreasonable force to the saw
blade when cutting. Also remember to press the
base against the lumber fi rmly.
8. Sawing curved lines
We recommend that you use the BIMETAL blade
mentioned in Page 25 for the saw blade since it is
tough and hardly breaks.
CAUTION
Delay the feed speed when cutting the material
into small circular arcs. An unreasonably fast
feed may break the blade.
9. Plunge cutting
With this tool, you can perform plunge cutting on
plywood panels and thin board materials. You can
carry out plunge cutting quite easily with the saw
blade installed in reverse as illustrated in Fig. 30,
Fig. 32, and Fig. 34.
Use the saw blade that is as short and thick as
possible. We recommend for this purpose that you
use BI-METAL Blade 725362 mentioned in Page 25.
Be sure to use caution during the cutting operation
and observe the following procedures.
(1) Press the lower part (or the upper part) of the base
against the material. Pull the switch trigger while
keeping the tip of the saw blade apart from the
material. (Fig. 29, Fig. 30)
(2) Raise the handle slowly and cut in with the saw blade
little by little. (Fig. 31, Fig. 32)
(3) Hold the body fi rmly until the saw blade completely
cuts into the material. (Fig. 33, Fig. 34)

CAUTION
● Avoid plunge cutting for metallic materials. This
can easily damage the blade.
● Never pull the Trigger switch while the tip of the
saw blade is pressed against the material. If you
do so, the blade can easily be damaged when it
collides with the material.
● Make absolutely sure that you cut slowly
while holding the body fi rmly. If you apply any
unreasonable force to the saw blade during
the cutting operation, the blade can easily be
damaged.
10. LED light warning signals (Fig. 35)
This product features functions that are designed
to protect the tool itself as well as the battery. While
the switch is pulled, if any of the safeguard functions
activate during operation, the LED light will blink as
described in Table 7. When any of the safeguard
functions are triggered, immediately remove your
fi nger from the switch and follow the instructions
described under corrective action.
