guard by using the lower guide lever.
2. With the blade is barely above the material to be cut, start the saw and allow the blade to
attain full speed. Using the front end of the shoe as a pivot point, lower the blade
gradually onto the material which being cut. Release the lower guard when the blade
starts to cutting. When the shoe is resting flat on the surface being cut, proceed cutting in
a forward direction to the end of the cut. Allow the blade to come to a full stop before
removing it from the cut. Never pull the saw backward since the blade will climb out of
the cut, as a result, kickback may occur. Turn the saw around and finish the cut in a
normal manner, sawing forward. Use a jigsaw or a hand saw to finish the cut in the
corners if it is necessary.
Cutting Large Sheets
1.
Large sheet or boards require support to prevent from bending or sags. If you attempt to
cut without leveling and supporting the work piece properly, the blade will tend to bind or
result in kickback.
2.
Support the panel or board close to the cut. Be sure to set the blade adjustment so that
you can cut through the material without cutting into the table or workbench.
