8.2
To change position of the pivot shoe assembly (Fig 2)
▪
Unplug your saw.
WARNING: Failure to unplug your saw could result in accidental starting
causing serious injury.
▪
Loosen the both cap screws (7) in the gear frame with hex key.
▪
Reposition pivot shoe (1) assembly in or out.
▪
Retighten both cap screws (7) securely. Do not over tighten cap screws (7).
▪
Remove hex key.
WARNING: Cutting into electrical wiring in walls can cause blade, blade
clamp, and saw bar assembly to become electrically live. Do not touch
metal parts when cutting into a wall; grasp only the insulated gripping
surfaces provided by the tool. Make sure hidden electrical wiring, water
pipes, and mechanical hazards are not in the blade path when cutting into a
wall.
8.3
Grip position adjustment (Fig 3)
Push the button backward as the direction of arrow shows on the Fig. 3 and rotate grip to left
or right at the same time.
There are five positions in all.
8.4
General cutting
Clamp your work piece if it is portable. Rest the front shoe of the saw on your work piece (be
sure the blade is not contacting the work piece) and start the saw, exerting enough pressure in
the direction of the cut to keep the shoe pressed firmly against the work piece at all times. Do
not force the cut or stall the saw. Don't bend or twist the blade, let the tool and the blade do
the work.
In general, coarser blades are for wood, plastics, and composites, and finer blades are
for cutting metal. Chattering or vibration may indicate you need a finer blade or higher
speed. If the blade overheats or clogs, it may indicate you need a coarser blade. Replace
blades when they become dull. Dull blades will produce poor
results and may overheat the saw.
8.5
Plunge cutting
Clearly mark the line of cut, from a convenient starting point within the cut out area. Place the
tip of the blade over that point with saw parallel to the line of cut, slowing lower the saw until
the bottom edge of the shoe rests on the work piece and the blade not touching the work piece.
Start the saw and allow it to attain full speed. With the saw resting on the shoe, slowly tilt the
saw forward to lower the blade onto the cut line. Continue this motion until the saw blade is
perpendicular to the work piece.
8.6
Metal cutting
Blades specifically designated for cutting metals must be used for this purpose. You may use
light oil as a coolant when cutting metal, this will prevent overheating of the blade, help the
blade cut faster, and promote longer blade life.
