CUTTING TIPS
WARNING:
•
Before any work on the machine itself, remove the battery from the power tool. There
is danger of injury when unintentionally actuating the On/Off switch.
•
When sawing light building materials, observe the statutory provisions and recommendations of the
material suppliers. Check the wood, press boards, building materials, etc. for foreign objects such
as nails, screws or similar, and remove them, if required.
•
If the saw blade should jam, switch the machine off immediately. Widen the gap somewhat with a
suitable tool and pull out the machine.
General Cutting:
Hold the saw firmly in front and clearly away from you. Make sure saw blade is clear of any foreign
material. Be sure material to be cut is held firmly. Small work pieces should be securely clamped in a vise
or with clamps to the work bench or table. Mark the line of cut clearly. Depress the lock-off button, the
pull the power switch to start the cutting action. Place the base assembly against the work, then move the
blade into the work. DO NOT FORCE. Use only enough pressure to keep the saw cutting. Allow the
blade and saw to do the work.
Plunge Cutting
:
Clearly mark the line of cut. From a convenient starting point within the cut out area, place the tip of the
blade over that point with saw parallel to the line of cut. Slowing lower the saw until the button edge of
the shoe rests on the workpiece. Start the saw and allow it to attain full speed. With the saw resting on the
shoe, slowly let 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
max speed set on the speed Adjust Dial. Failure to comply could cause loss of control and
result in serious injury.
Metal Cutting:
When cutting metallic material with this tool, be sure to use a sharp blade designed for this purpose. We
recommend lubricating the cutting surface with cutting oil to avoid heat buildup. Follow general cutting
procedure. Do not force tool. Use only enough pressure to keep the saw cutting.
WARNING:
Never use gasoline since normal sparking of motor could ignite fumes.
IMPORTANT CHARGING NOTES
