Use only enough pressure to keep the saw cutting. Allow the blade and
saw to do the work.
PLUNGE CUTTING (figure 4)
Clearly mark the line of cut. From a convenient starting point within the
cut area, place the tip of the blade over that point with the saw parallel
to the line of cut. Slowly lower the saw until the bottom edge of the
shoe rest on 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.
WARNING: Be sure the blade does not touch the work piece
until the saw reaches its maximum intended speed. Failure to do so
can result in loss of control of the saw and result in injury.
METAL CUTTING
When cutting metallic materials with this saw, be sure to use a sharp
blade designed for metal work. It is recommended that the cutting
surface be lubricated with cutting oil to avoid heat buildup. Follow
general cutting procedure listed earlier in this manual. Use only enough
pressure to keep the tool cutting. D0 NOT FORCE THE TOOL.
MAINTENANCE
Warning! Do not let flammable liquids come in contact with plastic
parts. They contain chemicals that can damage, weaken or destroy the
housing. This may compromise the integrity of the double insulation.
● Inspect the mounting screws
Mounting screws should be inspected before and after each use. Be
sure they are properly tightened. Any loose screws should be tightened
immediately. Failure to do so can result in serious injury.
