Switch (Fig. 1)
For safety reasons the trigger switch
(A) of your tool is equipped with a
lock-off button (M). Press the lock-
off button to unlock the tool.
To run the tool, press the trigger
switch (A). As soon as the trigger
switch is released the lock-off switch is automatically activated to
prevent unintended starting of the machine.
NOTICE:
Do not switch the tool ON or OFF when the saw blade
touches the workpiece or other materials.
Workpiece Support (Fig. 13–16)
WARNING:
To reduce the risk of serious personal injury, support
the work properly and hold the saw firmly to prevent loss of control.
Figures 13 and 15 show proper sawing position. Figures 14 and 16
show an unsafe condition. Hands should be kept away from cutting
area, and power cord is positioned clear of the cutting area so that it
will not get caught or hung up on the work.
To avoid kickback, ALWAYS support board or panel NEAR the cut,
(Fig. 13 and 15). DON’T support board or panel away from the cut
(Fig. 14 and 16). When operating the saw, keep the cord away from
the cutting area and prevent it from becoming hung up on the work
piece.
ALWAYS DISCONNECT SAW BEFORE MAKING ANY ADJUST-
MENTS! Place the work with its “good” side—the one on which
appearance is most important—down. The saw cuts upward, so any
splintering will be on the work face that is up when you saw it.
