TO SET THE DEPTH OF CUT
1. Lay the piece of material you plan to cut along the blade as shown.
2. Note how much tooth projects beyond the material.
3. Loosen the depth adjustment lever (C) and move the shoe to change the depth of
cut.
4. Retighten the depth adjustment lever securely.
Workpiece Support (Fig. 9)
CUTTING SHEETS OF METAL
Figure 9 shows the correct and incorrect way to support a large sheet. To avoid
kickback, support material near the cut. Do not support it away from the cut. If
material is supported away from the cut, it will bind the blade and cause kickback.
When cutting thin strips, keep the blade at least 1/2" (approximately 13 mm) from the
edge of the material. Thin strips may bind, causing kickback and increasing the risk of
personal injury.

CUTTING RECTANGULAR METAL STOCK
Clamp the material you plan to cut to a workbench or other work surface as shown
above.
Cutting (Fig. 10, 11)
1. Hold the saw securely using both hands. Figure 10 shows appropriate hand
position. Keep your body to one side of the line along which you are cutting. This
will protect you from injury related to kickback.
2. When cutting ends off of rectangular FIG. 10
metal stock, place the widest part of the
shoe on the part of the material that is
clamped to the workbench or other
support, not on the part of the material
that will fall when the cut is made.
3. Depress the trigger switch and allow the
saw to reach full speed before the blade
contacts the material to be cut (Fig. 11).
4. Push the saw forward at a speed that
allows the blade to cut without laboring.
5. As you finish a cut, release the trigger and allow the blade to stop before lifting
the saw from the work. As you lift the saw, the guard will automatically close
under the blade.

CORRECTING A CUT
Should your cut begin to leave the cutting line, don’t try to force it back on. Forcing a
correction can stall the saw and cause kickback. Instead, release the switch and allow
the blade to come to a complete stop. Then, back the saw out of the cut. Restart the
saw and re-enter the cut, following the desired cutting line.
