jumping or vibrating and minimize blade breakage. Any cuts which put pressure on
the blade such as angle or scroll cuts increase potential for vibration, kickback, and
blade breakage.
WARNING:
Use extra caution when cutting overhead and pay particular attention
to overhead wires which may be hidden from view. Anticipate the path of falling
branches and debris ahead of time.
WARNING:
Inspect work site for hidden gas pipes,

water pipes, or electrical wires before making blind
or plunge cuts. Failure to do so may result in
explosion, property damage, electric shock, and/or
serious personal injury.
FLUSH-TO CUTTING (FIG. 9B, 10)
The compact design of the saw motor housing and
spindle housing permits extremely close cutting to
floors, corners and other difficult areas. The blade
should be inserted upside-down to assist in flush-
cutting (Fig. 9B).
POCKET/PLUNGE CUTTING – WOOD ONLY
(FIG. 11)
The initial step in pocket cutting is to measure the
surface area to be cut and mark clearly with a pencil,
chalk or scriber. Use the appropriate

blade for the application. The blade
should be longer than 89 mm (3-1/2")
and should extend past the shoe and
the thickness of the workpiece during
the cut. A 102 mm (4") blade is
recommended for best performance.
Insert blade into the blade clamp.
Next, tip the saw backward until the
back edge of the shoe is resting on
the work surface and the blade clears
the work surface (Fig. 11, position 1).
Then, squeeze the trigger switch and
allow saw to come up to speed. Grip saw firmly with both hands and begin a slow,
deliberate upward swing with the handle of the saw, keeping the bottom of the shoe
firmly in contact with the workpiece (Fig. 11, position 2). Blade will begin to feed into
material. Always be sure blade is completely through material before continuing with
pocket cut.
NOTE: In areas where blade visibility is limited, use the edge of the saw shoe as a
guide. Lines for any given cut should be extended beyond edge of cut to be made.
METAL CUTTING (FIG. 12)
Your saw has different metal cutting capacities depending upon type of blade used
and the metal to be cut. Use a finer blade for ferrous metals and a coarse blade for
non-ferrous materials. In thin gauge sheet metals it is best to clamp wood to both
sides of sheet. This will ensure a clean cut without excess vibration or tearing of
metal. Always remember not to force cutting blade as this reduces blade life and
causes costly blade breakage.
NOTE:
It is generally recommended that when cutting metals you should spread a thin
film of oil or other lubricant along the line ahead of the saw cut for easier operation
and longer blade life.
FIG. 12
HORIZONTAL/VERTICAL SAW MODES (FIG. 13)
The saw can be used in either of the modes shown.
Horizontal Mode:
Blade teeth face downward as shown in Figure 13A.
Vertical Mode:
Blade teeth face forward as shown in Figure 13B.
The DCS310-XE can accept all lengths of reciprocating blades. For best results use
102 mm (4") blades. Ensure the blade extends past the shoe and the thickness of
