DUALSAW BLADES
• Keep the blades clean, sharp and properly set. Using a dull blade will place
a heavy load on your saw and increases the danger of kickback. Keep extra
blades on hand, so sharp blades are always available.
• Gum and wood pitch hardened on your blade will slow your saw down. Use
gum and pitch remover, hot water or degreaser to remove these accumula-
tions. DO NOT use gasoline.
BLADE GUARD SYSTEM
• The lower blade guard, attached to your saw, is there for your protection
and safety. It should NEVER be altered for any reason. If it becomes dam-
aged or begins to return slowly or sluggishly, DO NOT use your saw until the
damage has been repaired or replaced. Contact Customer Service. Leave the
guard in its correct operating position when using the saw.
• The guard is operating properly when it moves freely and then readily re-
turns to the closed position. If, for any reason, your lower blade guard does
not close freely, contact Customer Service for assistance before using it.
OPERATING THE SAW
• Clamp the work piece so it will not move during the cut.
• Slide the switch to ON to start the saw. Always let the blades reach full
speed before you begin to cut into the work piece.
• Apply steady and even pressure when making a cut. Forcing the saw causes
rough cuts and could shorten the life of the saw or cause kickback.
• Use the lubricating device (included) when cutting aluminum, copper,
stainless steel and cast iron materials, because they have a tenden
cy
to
smear and adhere to the blades.
• Always feed material parallel to the blade. Feeding at an angle can burn the
blade and damage the blade teeth.
• Don’t place the saw on the part of the work piece that will fall off (after
the cut).
• To stop the saw, slide the switch to OFF position.
OPERATION
CAUTION!
Don’t use the saw when the blade guard is not operating properly. The
guard should be checked for correct operation before each use. If you
drop your saw, check the lower blade guard and bumper for damage at
all depth settings before using.
