Performing a cut
WARNING:
Always ensure the workpiece is adequately secured using clamps and/or a vice
at all times. Do not attempt to use this tool without sufficiently securing the workpiece first.

the Cut Release Lever (14) to commence cutting
• Press down on the Handle (15) and allow the Blade (11) to engage the workpiece
• For dense materials work slowly and cut in multiple depth stages if necessary to
reduce the load on the motor, i.e. split a 12mm depth cut into two cuts of 6mm, first to
the depth of 6mm and the second to the depth of 12mm
• Ensure the correct blade is fitted for the material being cut
• Always push the saw forwards. NEVER pull the saw backwards towards you
• When starting the cut, ensure the rear of the Blade Guard is protruding off the edge
of the workpiece
• Ensure the Blade Guard is always kept flat against the workpiece when cutting
• When finished cutting, release the Cut Release Lever (14) and raise the Blade out
of the workpiece. Maintain Blade velocity for a short period to remove all dust from
the cutting area
