OPERATION
Instructions for Use
WARNING: Always observe the safety
instructions and applicable regulations.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of
injury, turn unit off and disconnect
machine from power source before
installing and removing accessories,
before adjusting or changing
set-ups or when making repairs. An
accidental start-up can cause injury.
Proper Hand Position (fi g. 13)
WARNING: To reduce the risk of
serious personal injury, ALWAYS use
proper hand position as shown.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of
serious personal injury, ALWAYS hold
securely in anticipation of a sudden
reaction.
Proper hand position requires one hand on the
main handle (b), with the other hand on the auxiliary
handle (e).
Switching On and Off (fi g. 1)
For safety reasons the trigger switch (a) of your tool
is equipped with a lock-off button (m).
Press the lock-off button to unlock the tool.
To run the tool, press the trigger switch (a). As soon
as the trigger switch is released, the lock-off switch
is automatically activated to prevent unintended
starting of the machine.
NOTICE: Do not switch the tool ON or
OFF when the saw blade touches the
workpiece or other materials.
Workpiece Support (fi g. 14–17)
WARNING: To reduce the risk of
serious personal injury, support the
work properly and hold the saw
firmly to prevent loss of control.
Figures 14 and 16 show proper sawing position.
Figures 15 and 17 show an unsafe condition. Hands
should be kept away from cutting area, and power
cord is positioned clear of the cutting area so that it
will not get caught or hung up on the work.
To avoid kickback, ALWAYS support board or panel
NEAR the cut, (fig. 14 and 16). DON'T support
board or panel away from the cut (fig. 15 and 17).
When operating the saw, keep the cord away from
the cutting area and prevent it from becoming hung
up on the work piece.
ALWAYS DISCONNECT SAW BEFORE MAKING
ANY ADJUST MENTS! Place the work with its
"good" side—the one on which appearance is most
important—down. The saw cuts upward, so any
splintering will be on the work face that is up when
you saw it.
Cutting
WARNING: Never attempt to use this
tool by resting it upside down on a
work surface and bringing the material
to the tool. Always securely clamp the
workpiece and bring the tool to the
workpiece, securely holding the tool with
two hands as shown in Figure 16.
Place the wider portion of the saw foot plate on that
part of the work piece which is solidly supported,
not on the section that will fall off when the cut
is made. As examples, Figure 16 illustrates the
RIGHT way to cut off the end of a board. Always
clamp work. Don't try to hold short pieces by hand!
Remember to support cantilevered and overhanging
material. Use caution when sawing material from
below.
