SAWING
WARNING:
To reduce the risk of
serious personal injury,always hold the
tool with both hands.
• Let the blade run freely for a few
seconds before starting the cut.
• Apply only a gentle pressure to the tool
while performing the cut.
• Work with the shoe pressed against
the workpiece.
HINTS FOR OPTIMUM USE
• As some splintering along the line of
cut on the top side of the workpiece
cannot be avoided, cut on the side
where splintering is acceptable.
• Where splintering is to be minimized,
e.g. when cutting laminates, clamp a
piece of plywood onto the top of the
workpiece.
POCKET CUTTING (FIG.12)
POCKET CUTTING IS USED TO CUT A
HOLE IN A PIECE OF MATERIAL
WITHOUT CUTTING FROM THE SIDE.
• Measure and mark work.
• Tilt saw forward and rest front of the
shoe on material to be cut. Align so
that cut will begin at the back of the
drawn rectangle shown in
figure 12.
• Using the retracting lever, retract blade
guard to an upward position, with the
blade just clearing the material, start
motor and gradually lower the saw into
the material.
WARNING:
As blade starts cutting the
material, release the retracting lever
immediately.
• Never tie the blade guard in a raised
position.
• When the shoe rests flat on the
material being cut, complete the cut in
forward direction.
• Allow the blade to come to a complete
stop before lifting saw from material.
• When starting each new cut, repeat the
above steps.
WRENCH STORAGE (FIG.13)
The spanner wrench (8) can be stored
on the saw shoe as shown in
