Cutting Operation
CAUTION:
Be sure to move the tool forward in a straight line gently. Forcing or twisting the
tool will result in overheating the motor and dangerous kickback, possibly
causing severe injury.
The riving knife should always be used except when plunging in the middle of
the workpiece.
Do not stop the saw blade by lateral pressure on the disc.
Hold the tool firmly. The tool is provided with both a front grip and rear handle. Use
both to best grasp the tool. If both hands are holding saw, they cannot be cut by
the blade.
Set the base on the workpiece to be cut
without the blade making any contact. Then
turn the tool on and wait until the blade
attains full speed. Now simply move the tool
forward over the workpiece surface, keeping
it flat and advancing smoothly until the
sawing is completed. (
Fig. 16
)
To get clean cuts, keep your sawing line straight and your speed of advance
uniform. If the cut fails to properly follow your intended cut line, do not attempt to
turn or force the tool back to the cut line. Doing so may bind the blade and lead to
dangerous kickback and possible serious injury. Release switch, wait for blade to
stop and then withdraw tool. Realign tool on new cut line, and start cut again.
Attempt to avoid positioning which exposes operator to chips and wood dust being
ejected from saw. Use eye protection to help avoid injury.
Rip Fence (Guide Rule)
The handy rip fence allows you to do
extra-accurate straight cuts. Simply slide the rip
fence up snugly against the side of the workpiece
and secure it in position with the wing bolt on the
front of the base. It also makes repeated cuts of
uniform width possible. (

MAINTENANCE AND INSPECTION
CAUTION
:
Always be sure that the tool is switched off and unplugged before attempting to
perform inspection or maintenance.
Maintenance of the Motor
The motor unit winding is the very
“heart” of the power tool. Exercise due care to
ensure the winding does not become damaged and /or wet with oil or water.
Inspecting the Carbon Brushes
Remove and check the carbon brushes regularly. Replace when they wear down
to the limit mark. Keep the carbon brushes clean and free to slip in the holders.
Both carbon brushes should be replaced at the same time. Use only identical
carbon brushes.
Use a screwdriver to remove the brush holder caps. Take out the worn carbon
brushes, insert the new ones and secure the brush holder caps.
