NOTE
After completing your cut, release the switch (13) and allow the blade to
come to a complete stop.
Do not remove the saw from the workpiece while the blade is moving.
NOTE
When making a cut always use steady,even presure. Forcing the saw
causes rough cuts and could shorten the life of the saw or cause
kickback.Allow the blade and the saw to do the work.
MAKING A CUT
Mark the line of cutting on the workpiece and align with the corret notch
Rest the front edge of the base on the workpiece Start the motor and let the
blade reach full speed (approximately 2 seconds.Slowly push the saw
forward using both hands)
KICKBACK
• Kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched, bound or misaligned saw
blade, causing the saw to lift up out of the work area towards the
operator.
• When the blade is pinched or bound tightly by the kerf (a kerf is a cut
which has been made by the saw) closing down, the blade stalls and the
motors reaction drives the unit rapidly back towards the operator
causing kickback.
• If the blade becomes twisted or misaligned in the cut, the teeth at the
back edge of the blade can dig nto the top surface of the wood causing
the blade to climb out of the kerf and jump back towards the operator
causing kickback.
Kickback is the result of saw misuse and/or incorrect operating procedures
or conditions and can be avoided by taking proper precautions as given
below.
• Mark the line of the cut on the workpiece.
• Adjust the depth of cut and bevel angle as required.
• Rest the front edge of the base plate (5) on the workpiece.
• Switch on the laser beam using button (11).
• Align the beam with the line on the workpiece.
• Start the motor, let the blade reach full speed and slowly push the saw
forward using both hands, keeping the red laser light beam on the line of cut.
