OPERATION
■
Depress the lock-off button and squeeze the switch
trigger to start your saw.
Always let the blade reach
full speed then slowly lower blade into the
workpiece until base is flat against workpiece.
■
After you complete your cut release the trigger and
allow the blade to come to a complete stop. After the
blade has stopped, remove it from the workpiece.
Corners may then be cleared out with a hand saw or
sabre saw.
WARNING
Never tie the lower blade guard in a raised
position. Leaving the blade exposed could lead
to serious injury.
TO RIP CUT
RIP GUIDE (EDGE GUIDE) (NOT INCLUDED)
See Figure 17.
Use a guide when making long or wide rip cuts with
your saw.
An optional rip guide with a five inch scale is available or
you can make an efficient rip guide by clamping a
straight edge to your workpiece. Secure the workpiece.
Using C-clamps, firmly clamp a straight edge to the
workpiece and guide the saw along the straight edge to
achieve a straight rip cut. Do not bind the blade in
the cut. If using the optional rip guide, see the following
instructions and figure 18.
TO ASSEMBLE RIP GUIDE (NOT INCLUDED)
■
Remove battery pack from saw.
WARNING
Failure to remove battery pack from saw could
result in accidental starting causing possible
serious personal injury.
■
Place rip guide through holes in saw base as shown
in figure 18.
■
Adjust rip guide to the width needed.
■
Tighten rip guide screw (wing screw) securely.
■
When using a rip guide, position the face of the rip
guide firmly against the edge of workpiece.
This makes for a true cut without pinching the blade.
The guiding edge of workpiece must be straight for
your cut to be straight. Use caution to prevent the
blade from binding in the cut.
