General sawing
Hold the saw firmly in the front but clearly away from you. Make sure the saw blade is clear of any foreign ma-
terial and that the power cord is out of the sawing path. Make sure the material to be cut is held firmly. Small
workpieces should be securely clamped in a vice or with clamps to the workbench or table. Mark the line of cut
clearly. Pull in the power switch to start the sawing action. Set the fence on the workpiece, then move the
blade into the workpiece. Do not force. Use only enough pressure to keep the saw cutting. Allow the blade and
saw to do the work.
Plunge sawing
Mark the line of cut clearly. From a convenient starting point
within the cutout area, place the tip of the blade over that
point with the saw parallel to the line of cut. Slowly lower the
saw until the bottom edge of the fence rests on the workpiece
but the blade not touching the workpiece. Start the saw and
allow it to attain full speed. With the saw resting on the fence,
slowly tilt the saw forward to lower the blade onto the cut line.
Continue this motion until the saw blade is perpendicular to
the workpiece.
WARNING!
Make sure the blade does not touch the workpiece until the saw reaches its maximum
speed set on the switch.
