5. Switch on the laser generator from the laser aper -
ture using the laser generator switch 4 .

cut.
OPERATION
General cutting
1. When starting, always hold the saw handle with
one hand and the auxiliary handle 6 with the oth -
er hand. Never force the saw but maintain a light
and continuous pressure after completing the cut
allow the saw to come to a complete stop. When
cutting is interrupted, resume cutting by allowing
the blade to reach full speed and then reentering
the cut slowly.
2. When cutting across the grain, the fibers of the
wood have a tendency to lift and tear, moving the
saw slowly minimizes this effect.
Pocket cutting
1. Disconnect the plug from the power supply be -
fore making any adjustments. Set the depth ad -
justment based on the thickness of the line draw -
ing for the cut. Raise the lower guard by using the
lift lever.
2. With the blade barely above the material to be cut,
start the saw and allow the blade to come to full
speed. Gradually lower the blade unto the mate -
rial to be cut using the front end of the shoe as a
pivot point. When the blade starts cutting, release
the lower guard. When the shoe is resting flat on
the surface being cut, proceed cutting in a forward
direction to the end of the cut. Allow the blade to
come to a full stop before removing it from the
cut. Never pull the saw backward since the blade
will climb out of the cut and kickback will occur.
Turn the saw around and finish the cut in a normal
manner, sawing forward. Use a jigsaw or a hand
saw to finish the cut in the corners, if required.
Cutting Large Sheets
1. Large sheet or boards require support to prevent
bends or sags. If you attempt to cut without lev -
eling and properly supporting the work piece, the
blade will tend to bind, causing kickback.
2. Support the panel or board close to the cut. Be
sure to set the blade adjustment so that you can
cut through the material without cutting into the
table or workbench. Suggestion: use two by fours
to support the board or panel to be cut. If the
piece is too large for the workbench, use the floor
with the two-by fours supporting the wood.
MAINTENANCE
1. To prevent accidents, always unplug the saw from
the power source before cleaning or performing
any maintenance the saw may be cleaned most
effectively using compressed air. Always wear
safety goggles when using compressed air. If com -
pressed air is not available, use a brush to remove
dust and chips from the saw.
2. Motor ventilation vents and switch levers must
be kept clean and free of foreign matter. Do not
attempt to clean by inserting pointed objects
through openings.
3. Never use any caustic agents to clean plastic parts.
Such as: gasoline, carbon tetrachloride, chlorinat -
ed cleaning solvents, ammonia and household
cleaners containing ammonia. Do not use any of
these to clean the saw.
4. Have an authorized service center examine and/or
replace the worn carbon brushes in the event of
excessive parking.
5. Blades become dull even when cutting regular
lumber, a sure sign of a dull blade is the need to
force the saw forward instead of guiding it while
making a cut. Take the blade to a service center for
sharpening.
6. Keep the machine clean all the time.
7. If you discover any damage, consult the exploded
drawing and parts list to determine exactly which
replacement part you need to order from our cus -
tomer service department.
8. Clean the housing only with a damp cloth. Do not
use any solvents! Dry thoroughly afterwards. In or -
der to maintain battery capacity, we recommend
the battery to be completely discharged every one
month and fully recharged again. Only store with a
fully charged battery and top-up the charge from
time to time if stored for a long time. Store in a
dry and frost-free place, the ambient temperature
should not exceed 40°C.
9. If the supply cord of this power tool is damaged,
it must be replaced by a similar cord available
through the service organization or a qualified au -
thoritative technician.
10. For safety reasons, the machine automatically
switches off if the carbon brushes are so worn out
that they no longer have contact with the motor.
In that case, the carbon brushes must be replaced
by a pair similar carbon brush available through
the after-sales service organization or qualified
professional person.
CAUTION: The brushes must always be replaced in
pairs.
CAUTION: Always disconnect the machine from the
power supply before removing any electrical covers.
