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.
