BLADE STORAGE COMPARTMENT
Your tool is equipped with a blade storage
compartment (Fig. 4) on the backside of your
saw. To remove, push down on tab and slide
in direction of arrow. Be sure storage
compartment is closed to prevent blades from
falling out.
1. Securely clamp the work.
2. Mark the line of cut and grasp the tool with
one hand on the handle and the other
placed on the insulated rubber boot over
the front housing.
Always hold the saw by the
!
WARNING
insulated boot on the front
housing. If you saw into a blind area where
live wiring exists, you may be shocked or
electrocuted.
3. Keep the saw footplate firmly against the
work to minimize counter-force (jumping)
and vibration.
4. Squeeze the trigger to start the tool. Let the
saw reach full speed before starting the cut.
Guide the saw so that the blade will move
along the marked line.
SAWING TIPS
Following a few simple tips will reduce the
wear on the workpiece, the tool and the
operator.
1. Blades cut on the draw or back stroke. On
fine work, such as paneling, fiberglass, etc.,
place the good side of workpiece facing
down.
2. Use the correct saw blade for the material
being cut and keep extra blades on hand to
use when others become dull. Replace
cracked or bent blades immediately.
3. Select the appropriate cutting speed.

FOOTPLATE ADJUSTMENT
The footplate tilts in order to keep as much of
its surface in contact with the work surface
Fig. 1 . To adjust, hold saw firmly and pivot
footplate to desired position.

4. To reduce the risk of injury, be sure the
blade always extends beyond the footplate
and work throughout the stroke. Blades
may shatter if the front on the blade hits the
work and/or the footplate.

5. When cutting metal:
- Apply a lubricant for easier, smoother,
faster cutting and longer blade life.
- For non-ferrous metals, aluminum,
bronze or brass, use a stick wax on the
blade.
- For ferrous metals, iron and steel, use
machine or cutting oil along the surface
to be cut.
6. When cutting thin metal, "sandwich" the
material between two pieces of scrap wood.
Clamp or put in a bench vise. One piece of
lumber on top of the metal can be used with
adequate clamping. Place your cut lines or
design on the wood.
7. Don't force the cutting. Let the saw and
blade do the work.
