FLUSH-TO CUTTING
Worklight (Fig. 9C)
The worklight (E) is located below the blade clamp (F) behind the shoe
The worklight will be activated when the trigger switch is squeezed.
NOTE:
The worklight is for lighting the immediate work surface and
is not intended to be used as a flashlight.
Cutting (Fig. 9, 10–13)
WARNING: Always use eye protection.
All users and bystanders
must wear eye protection that conforms to ANSI Z87.1.
WARNING:
Exercise extra caution when cutting towards operator.
Always hold saw firmly with both hands while cutting.
Before cutting any type of material, be sure it is firmly anchored or
clamped to prevent slipping. Place blade lightly against work to be
cut, switch on saw motor and allow it to obtain maximum speed
before applying pressure. Whenever possible, the saw shoe must be
held firmly against the material being cut. This will prevent the saw
from jumping or vibrating and minimize blade breakage. Any cuts
which put pressure on the blade such as angle or scroll cuts increase
potential for vibration, kickback, and blade breakage.
WARNING:
Use extra caution when cutting overhead and pay
particular attention to overhead wires which may be hidden from view.
Anticipate the path of falling branches and debris ahead of time.
WARNING:
Inspect work site for hidden gas pipes, water pipes,
or electrical wires before making blind or plunge cuts. Failure to do
so may result in explosion, property damage, electric shock, and/or
serious personal injury.
FLUSH-TO CUTTING (FIG. 9B, 10)
The compact design of the saw motor
FIG. 10
housing and spindle housing permits
extremely close cutting to floors, corners
and other difficult areas. The blade should
be inserted upside-down to assist in flush-
cutting (Fig. 9B, 10).
POCKET/PLUNGE CUTTING – WOOD
ONLY (FIG. 11)
The initial step in pocket cutting is to
measure the surface area to be cut
and mark clearly with a pencil, chalk or
scriber. Use the appropriate blade for the
application. The blade should be longer
than 3-1/2" (89 mm) and should extend
past the shoe and the thickness of the workpiece during the cut. A 4"
(102 mm) blade is recommended for best performance. Insert blade
into the blade clamp.
