Do not cut warped or wet lumber

  

Hold the saw firmly with both 

hands and keep your body in a 

balanced position so as to resist 

the forces if kickback should 

occur.

 WARNING! 

To avoid kickback, re-

lease the switch trigger immediately if 

the blade binds or the saw stalls. Kick-

back could cause you to lose control 

of the saw. Loss of control can lead to 

serious injury.

LOCk-OFF BUTTON (Fig. 8)

The lock-off button reduces the 

possibility of accidental starting. 

The lock-off button is located on the 

handle above the trigger switch. The 

lock-off button must be depressed 

before you squeeze the trigger 

switch.

NOTE:

 The lock-off button can be 

operated from either the left or right 

side.

STARTING/STOPPING THE SAW  

(Fig. 8)
To start the saw:

1.  Depress the lock-off button.
2.  Depress the trigger switch. Always let the blade reach full speed, then 

guide the saw into the workpiece.

To stop the saw:

Release the trigger switch.
After you release the trigger 

switch, allow the blade to come to 

a complete stop

. Do not remove the 

saw from the workpiece while the 

blade is moving.
DEPTH OF CUT ADJUSTMENTS  

(Fig. 9)

Always keep the correct blade 

in the wood.

To guard against kickback, avoid 

dangerous practices such as the 

following:

  

Setting blade depth incorrectly.

  

Sawing into knots or nails in the 

workpiece.

  

Twisting the blade while making 

a cut.

  

Making a cut with a dull, gummed 

up or improperly set blade.

  

Supporting the workpiece 

incorrectly.(See Fig.4)

  

Forcing a cut.

  

Cutting warped or wet lumber.

  

Operating the tool incorrectly or 

misusing the tool.

  

Attempting to cut with blade at 

less than full speed.

 WARNING! 

If the blade comes in 

contact  with  the  workpiece  before  it 

reaches full speed, it could cause the 

saw to “kickback” towards you, which 

could result in serious injury.

To lessen the chance of kickback, 

avoid dangerous practices such as 

the following:

  

Keep the blade at the correct depth setting. The depth setting should not 

exceed 1/4 inch below the material being cut.

  

Inspect the workpiece for knots or nails before cutting. Never saw into a 

knot or nail.

  

Make straight cuts. Always use a straight edge guide when rip cutting. 

This helps prevent twisting the blade.

  

Use clean, sharp and properly set blades. Never make cuts with dull 

blades.

 

  

Support the workpiece properly before beginning a cut.

  

Use steady, even pressure when making a cut. Never force a cut.
