OPERATION
NEVER PLACE YOUR SAW ON THAT PART OF THE
WORK THAT WILL FALL OFF WHEN THE CUT IS MADE.

cord to prevent it from hanging up on the work while making
a cut. Utilize the cord clip to help prevent cord problems.
See Figure 12.

If the cord hangs up on the work during a cut, release the
switch trigger immediately. Unplug your saw and reposition
the cord to prevent it from hanging up again.
DANGER:
Using your saw with a damaged cord will result in serious
injury or death. If the cord has been damaged, have it
replaced before using your saw again.
Hold your saw firmly with both hands. See Figure 13.

saw into the work.

underside of work. Keep your hands and fingers away
from the cutting area.
After you complete your cut, release the trigger and allow
the blade to come to a complete stop. DO NOT REMOVE
