NOTE:
•
When the battery cartridge temperature is low, the
tool may not work to its full capacity.
•
At this time, for example, use the tool for a light-
duty cut for a while until the battery cartridge
warms up as high as room temperature. Then, the
tool can work to its full capacity.
Fig.12
Hold the tool firmly. The tool is provided with both a front
grip (motor housing) and rear handle. Use both to best
grasp the tool. If both hands are holding saw, they
cannot be cut by the blade. Set the base on the
workpiece to be cut without the blade making any
contact. Then turn the tool on and wait until the blade
attains full speed. Now simply move the tool forward
over the workpiece surface, keeping it flat and
advancing smoothly until the sawing is completed.
To get clean cuts, keep your sawing line straight and
your speed of advance uniform. If the cut fails to
properly follow your intended cut line, do not attempt to
turn or force the tool back to the cut line. Doing so may
bind the blade and lead to dangerous kickback and
possible serious injury. Release switch, wait for blade to
stop and then withdraw tool. Realign tool on new cut
line, and start cut again. Attempt to avoid positioning
which exposes operator to chips and wood dust being
ejected from saw. Use eye protection to help avoid
injury.
Rip fence (Guide rule) (optional accessory)
Fig.13
The handy rip fence allows you to do extra-accurate
straight cuts. Simply slide the rip fence up snugly
against the side of the workpiece and secure it in
position with the screw on the front of the base. It also
makes repeated cuts of uniform width possible.
