ENGLISH (Original instructions)
u
Work with the shoe pressed against the workpiece.
Hints for optimum use
u
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.
u
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. K)
Warning! Never tie the blade guard in a raised position. Never
move the saw backwards when pocket cutting. This may
cause the unit to raise up off the work surface which could
cause injury.
A pocket cut is one that is made when the edge of the material
does not push the lower guard open, but the bottom edge of
the rotating blade cuts into the middle of the material.
u
Adjust the shoe (5) so the blade cuts at desired depth.
u
Tilt the saw forward and rest front of the shoe on material
to be cut.
u
Using the retracting lever, retract lower blade guard to
an upward position. Lower rear of shoe until blade teeth
almost touch cutting line.
u
Release the blade guard (its contact with the work will
keep it in position to open freely as you start the cut).
u
Remove hand from guard lever and firmly grip secondary
handle (7), as shown in figure N. Position your body and
arm to allow you to resist kickback if it occurs.
u
Make sure blade is not in contact with cutting surface
before starting saw.
u
Start the motor, allow saw to come to full speed, and then
gradually lower the saw until its shoe rests flat on the
material to be cut. Advance saw along the cutting line until
cut is completed as shown in figure K.
u
Release trigger and allow blade to stop completely before
withdrawing the blade from the material.
u
When starting each new cut, repeat as above.
