General cutting
Clamp your work piece if it is portable, rest the front shoe of the saw on your work
piece (be sure the blade is not contacting the work piece) and start the saw, exerting
enough pressure in the direction of the cut to keep the shoe pressed firmly against the
work piece at all times, Do not force the cut or stall the saw. Don’t bend or twist the
blade let the tool and the blade do the work.
In general, coarser blades are for wood, plastics , and composites , and finer blades are
for cutting metal, chattering or vibration may indicate you need fine blade or higher
speed, if the blade overheats or clogs, it may indicate you need a coarser blade when
they become dull, Dull blades will produce poor results and may overheat the saw.
Plunge cutting
Clearly mark the line of cut, from a convenient starting point within the cut out area,
place the tip of the blade over that point with saw parallel to the line of cut, slowing
lower the saw until the button edge of the shoe rests on the work piece and the blade
not touching the work piece, start the saw and allow it to attain full speed. With the
saw resting on the shoe, slowly tilt the saw forward to lower the blade onto the cut
line. Continue this motion until the saw blade is perpendicular to the work piece.
Metal cutting
Blades specifically designated for cutting metals must be used for this purpose. You
may use light oil as a coolant when cutting metal, this will prevent overheating of the
blade, help the blade cut faster, and promote longer blade life.
Cleaning and maintenance
The machine does not require any special maintenance.
Regularly clean the ventilation slots.
CAUTION: Do not use cleaning agents to clean the plastic parts of the tool. A mild
detergent on a damp cloth is recommended. Water must never come into contact with
the tool.
