6. Precautions on operation:
. Keep a good balance and secure footing while holding the saw firmly at all times.
(Ref. Fig.3)
. Press the throttle trigger backward slowly to make the engine accelerate gradually.
Wait until the blade builds up the rpm’s before beginning to work.
. Move the rotating blade slowly toward the object to be cut, increase the pressure
gradually after the cutting edge comes in contact with the object. Make sure the
cutting depth is appropriate.
. Do not change direction of the cut or twist during the cut as this may produce a high
torsion load on the blade and may cause it to break or shatter. Only move the
machine along a straight line, forward or “to and fro” in the cutting direction.
. When cutting, position the saw at an appropriate distance so that your body is clear
of the blade attachment yet you don’t have to overreach.
. Release the pressure on the saw when the blade completes a cut. The cut-off
portion of the object may drop, so make sure it won’t hit any part of your body or
pinch the blade.
