Hex wrench storage

011225 

When not in use, store the hex wrench as shown in the 
figure to keep it from being lost. 

OPERATION 

 

CAUTION: 

• 

Be sure to move the tool forward in a straight line 
gently. Forcing or twisting the tool will result in 
overheating the motor and dangerous kickback, 
possibly causing severe injury. 

   

011200 

Always use a front grip and rear handle and firmly hold 
the tool by both the front grip and rear handle during 
operations. The tool is provided with both the front grip 
and rear handle. If both hands are holding saw, they 
cannot be cut by the blade. Set the base on the 
workpiece to be cut without the blade making any contact. 
Then turn the tool on and wait until the blade attains full 
speed. Now simply move the tool forward over the 
workpiece surface, keeping it flat and advancing 
smoothly until the sawing is completed. 
To get clean cuts, keep your sawing line straight and your 
speed of advance uniform. If the cut fails to properly 
follow your intended cut line, do not attempt to turn or 
force the tool back to the cut line. Doing so may bind the 
blade and lead to dangerous kickback and possible 
serious injury. Release switch, wait for blade to stop and 
then withdraw tool. Realign tool on new cut line, and start 
cut again. Attempt to avoid positioning which exposes 
operator to chips and wood dust being ejected from saw. 
Use eye protection to help avoid injury.

011201 

The handy rip fence allows you to do extra-accurate 
straight cuts. Simply slide the rip fence up snugly against 
the side of the workpiece and secure it in position with 
the screw on the front of the base. It also makes repeated 
cuts of uniform width possible. 

MAINTENANCE 

 

CAUTION: 

• 

Always be sure that the tool is switched off and 
unplugged before attempting to perform inspection 
or maintenance. 

• 

Never use gasoline, benzine, thinner, alcohol or the 
like. Discoloration, deformation or cracks may 
result.
