WARNING:
Before connecting your power tool to power supply, always check to be sure switch is not in lock-on
position. Failure to do so could result in accidental starting of your power tool.
Switch
To turn the saw ON, depress the switch trigger. Release switch trigger to turn the saw OFF (Fig.3).
Lock-On Button
The saw is equipped with a lock-on feature which is convenient when continuous cutting for extended
periods of time is required.
To lock-on, depress the switch trigger, push in and hold the lock-on button located on the side of the
handle, then release switch trigger. Release lock-on button and your saw will continue running (Fig.3).
To release the lock, depress the switch trigger and release. If you have the lock-on feature engaged during
use and your saw becomes disconnected from power supply, disengage the lock-on feature immediately.
Handle Rotation
For comfort and controlled cutting from any angle the front handle (4) may be rotated up to 180 degrees
with five positive stops (0, 45, and 90 degrees to the left and 45 and 90 degrees to the right).
To rotate the front handle, press the rotation lock button (6) and turn the front handle (4) to the desired
position. Check to make sure the handle is locked into the chosen position.
Adjusting Pivoting Shoe
The pivoting shoe (2) can be adjusted to limit the amount of blade protrusion. Loosen both hex screws
located on the underside of the front cover (Fig.5). Slide the pivoting shoe (2) straight in or out of the front
cover as required. Retighten both hex screws.
General Cutting Operation
1. Secure the work piece.
2. Grip the tool with both hands, one hand on the handle, and one on the front cover.
3. Place the blade on the work piece and then squeeze power trigger switch (7) with finger.
The saw will begin to operate.
4. Keep the pivoting shoe (2) pressed firmly against the work piece to prevent tool kick back.
5. Maintain a smooth motion pressing the blade through the material as it is cut.
Follow the cut,do not press too hard. If the tool slows down as it is cutting, apply less pressure on the tool.
6. When the cut is completed release the trigger switch (7) and wait until the blade stops. If you will not be
making another cut unplug the tool and store it safely.
NOTE: Do Not Force The Saw. Forcing your saw may overheat the motor and break saw blades.
Pocket Cutting Operation
WARNING: To avoid loss of control, broken blades or damage to the material being cut, always use
extreme caution when making plunge cuts. We do not recommend plunge cutting on materials other than wood.
1. Select a short, thick blade which is in good condition.
2. Place the tool on the work piece with the blade NOT touching the work material. Squeeze the
trigger (7) to start the tool operating. Never start a plunge cut with the blade tip touching the work piece.
This will cause an immediate kick back that can damage the work piece, blade or cause injury.
3. Slowly rotate the tool on the pivoting shoe (2) as the blade contacts the work piece. Hold the tool firmly.
4. Continue to slowly rotate the tool until the blade has penetrated through the work material. Press the
pivoting shoe (2) firmly against the work material and continue to make the cut.
5. To prevent accidents, turn off the tool and disconnect its power supply after use. Clean and then store the
tool in-doors out of children’s reach.
Metal Cutting Operation
1. Install a metal cutting blade.
2. Coat the cutting surface with cutting oil to prevent the blade from overheating.
3. Follow general cutting procedure see “General Cutting”.
