CUTTING TIPS
•
Always hold the main handle with one hand and the side handle with the other.
• Maintain a firm grip and operate the on/off switch with a positive action.
• Always wait until the blades have reached full speed before commencing to cut the workpiece.
• Always hold the saw so that the blades are at right angles to the workpiece and the saw is inclined
at an angle of approximately 30°.
• Always keep your body positioned behind the blades and to one side – not directly behind the
blades.
• Never force the saw. Use light and continuous pressure.
• When cutting is interrupted, to resume cutting, depress the lock-off button and squeeze the on/off
switch and allow the blade to reach full speed, re-enter the cut slowly and resume cutting.
• The kerf (width of cut) is 0.18 in. Allow for this width of cut when sawing.
