c. Position the front of the saw’s base onto the
leading end (edge) of the workpiece that is solidly
supported (See Fig. D1,D2).

the base with the cut line (See Fig. I).

f. With both hands on the handle, let the
blade reach full speed BEFORE you enter the
workpiece, starting your cut.
g. Press down on the saw, keeping the front of
the base flat against the workpiece as you slowly
push the saw’s blade into the workpiece (See Fig.
J1).
h. Carefully guide the saw through the line of
cut. DO NOT bind the blade in the cut; push the
saw blade forward at a rate where the blade is
not laboring. When the cut is complete, release
the On/Off Switch (1) and let the blade come to
a complete stop. DO NOT REMOVE the saw
and blade from the workpiece while the blade is
moving. This could damage your cut (kerf), cause
kickback, loss of control, and result in serious
injury (See Fig. J2, J3).
