Workpiece and Work Area Set Up
1. Workpiece selection:
a. Workpiece must be free of foreign
objects and loose knots.
b. Do not use to cut logs, tree limbs,
or uneven lumber.
c. Wet lumber, green (unseasoned) lumber,
and pressure treated lumber all have an
increased potential for kickback and should
only be cut with a blade designed for cutting
that lumber. Wear a NIOSH-approved
respirator and have appropriate ventilation
whenever cutting pressure treated lumber.
2. Designate a work area that is clean and well lit.
The work area must not allow access by children
or pets to prevent distraction and injury.
3. Route the power cord along a safe route to reach
the work area without creating a tripping hazard or
exposing the power cord to possible damage. The
power cord must reach the work area with enough
extra length to allow free movement while working.
4. There must not be objects, such as utility lines,
nearby that will present a hazard while working.
This is especially critical for plunge cuts.
General Operating Instructions
1. Make sure that the Trigger is in the
off-position, then plug in the tool.
2.
Make sure that all guards are in place and
in proper working order before operation.
3. Insert the Saw at an angle, then
lower it to the floor surface.
4. Grip Handles firmly.
5. Press in (and hold) the Safety Button with
your thumb, and at the same time, squeeze
the Trigger with your index finger.
6. When the Motor starts turning, release the Safety
Button. As the Motor reaches full speed, begin to
move the Saw slowly forward and away from your
body to complete the cut. If a loud grinding noise
is heard, the Saw Blade is contacting the cement
foundation. Immediately raise the Saw Blade.
caution:
Never pull the Saw backwards since the Saw
Blade will climb out of the cut and kickback will occur.
7. When the flush cut is complete, release the
Trigger and hold the Saw in place until the
Saw Blade comes to a complete stop. Unplug
the Power Cord from the electrical outlet.
8. To prevent accidents, turn off the tool and
unplug it after use. Clean, then store the
tool indoors out of children’s reach.
