Hex wrench storage
004035
When not in use, store the hex wrench as shown in the
figure to keep it from being lost.
OPERATION
CAUTION:
•
Be sure to move the tool forward in a straight line
gently. Forcing or twisting the tool will result in
overheating the motor and dangerous kickback,
possibly causing severe injury.
Hold the tool firmly. Set the base plate 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 slowly until the
sawing is completed. To get clear cuts, keep your
sawing line straight and your speed of advancing
uniform.

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.
MAINTENANCE
CAUTION:
•
Always be sure that the tool is switched off and
unplugged before attempting to perform inspection
or maintenance.
