OPERATION
STARTING/STOPPING THE SAW (FIG. 18)
1. Plug in the tool.
2.
To start the saw,
press and hold the plunge lock but-
ton, then pull the power trigger. Once the saw reaches
maximum speed, plunge the saw downwards.
3.
To stop the saw,
release the power trigger. Allow the
blade to come to a complete stop.
NOTE:
Do not remove your saw from the workpiece
while the blade is still moving.
OPERATING THE SAW (FIG. 19)
1. Hold the tool firmly with both hands, using both the
front grip and the rear handle. Avoid placing your hand
on the workpiece while making a cut.
2. Place the workpiece with the “good” side down.
3. Set-up and support the workpiece so the cut is always
on your right side. The larger (left) side of the saw’s base
should be on the part that
does not
fall off when a cut
is made.
4. Securely clamp the workpiece so it will not move dur-
ing the cut. If you are cutting
with the track,
use two
clamps to clamp the track to the workpiece. If you are
cutting
without the track,
place a clamp as close to the
base of the saw as possible to support the workpiece.
Make sure the clamp is as close to the cut as possible
without getting in the way of the saw’s line of motion.
Instructions continue on the next page.
WARNING:
Do not plug in or turn on the tool until it is fully assembled according to the instructions. Read
through and become familiarized with the following procedures of handling and adjusting your track saw. Failure
to follow the safety instructions may result in serious personal injury.
WARNING:
Always let the blade reach full speed before guiding the saw into the workpiece. The blade com-
ing into contact with the workpiece before reaching full speed, could cause your saw to KICKBACK towards you
resulting in serious personal injury.
WARNING:
If, while operating the saw, the cord hangs up on the workpiece or some other object during
a cut, release the switch trigger immediately. Unplug the saw and reposition the cord to prevent it from hanging
up again.
