Side grip (auxiliary handle) (Accessory)

Align the hole in the grip holder with the hole in the blade case (upper blade

guard)  and  secure  the  grip  holder  onto  the  blade  case  using  the  screw  as

shown in the figure. Securely screw the side grip clockwise into the hole in the

grip holder.

Hex wrench storage

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.

Rip fence (Guide rule)

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 posi-

tion with the screw on the front of the base. It also makes repeated cuts of uni-

form width possible.
