OPERATION
Flip the saw over to view the results of the adjustment.
Continue making 1/4 turn adjustments to
BOTH
screws
until the blade appears to be in the correct position.
Monitor blade position over the next several uses of the
saw and continue to adjust if needed.
ADJUSTING WORK STOP
See Figure 4, page 10.
The work stop of the saw has two available positions for
installation and can be adjusted, if needed, based on the
size of your workpiece.
Lock the switch trigger and remove the battery pack.
Remove the two screws on the work stop using the hex
key provided or any 2.5 mm hex key.
Move the work stop to the other available position.
Reinstall both screws and tighten securely.
TURNING SAW ON/OFF
See Figure 5, page 10.
The lock-off button, located on the rear handle above the
switch trigger, reduces the possibility of accidental starting.
To turn the saw on:
Slide the lock-off button to the un-
locked position, then press the switch trigger.
To turn the saw off:
Release the switch trigger and return
the lock-off button to the locked position.
CAUTION:
The lock-off button should always be in the locked
position when the saw is not in use or is being
transported.
VARIABLE SPEED DIAL
See Figure 5, page 10.
The variable speed dial, located on the top of the tool, al-
lows the saw to operate at a different maximum speed. The
maximum speed can be adjusted before or during operation.
To change the maximum speed during operation, hold the
saw in a normal operating position, fully depress the switch
trigger, and rotate the dial left or right. To change the maxi-
mum speed prior to operation, rotate the dial left or right, and
then depress the switch trigger to operate the saw between
0 SPM and the preset maximum.
CUTTING TIPS
Make sure the saw blade teeth are clean of any debris or
foreign material.
Mark the line of cut clearly.
Do not use liquid coolants when cutting metal.
If excessive vibration occurs during cutting, verify the
workpiece is clamped securely. If vibration continues,
the saw blade may need to be replaced.
CUTTING
See Figures 6 - 7, page 11.
WARNING:
Hold the saw with both hands. Make sure the
workpiece is secure with clamps, vise, or similar
methods to prevent workpiece from moving, since
this could cause loss of control resulting in serious
injury.
WARNING:
Make sure the blade does not touch the work until
the motor reaches full speed, since this could cause
loss of control resulting in serious injury.
Secure the workpiece to a work bench or table with a
vise or with clamps.
NOTE:
Remember to consider the size and weight of the
piece that will be cut off and provide support as needed
to prevent any possible injury from the falling piece.
Hold the saw firmly with both hands, in front of and clearly
away from you.
Set the work stop against the workpiece but do not allow
the blade to touch the workpiece.
Slide the lock-off button to the unlocked position and
depress the switch trigger.
NOTE:
The worklight will illuminate whenever the switch
trigger is depressed and will turn off automatically after
the trigger is released.
Once the saw blade reaches full cutting speed, slowly
move the blade into the workpiece. Keep the maximum
number of teeth possible in contact with the piece being
cut and keep the blade straight during cutting without
twisting.
NOTE: Do not force.
Use only enough pressure to keep
the saw cutting and the work stop against the workpiece.
Allow the blade and the weight of the tool to do the work.
As you reach the end of the cut, hold the saw firmly so it
does not fall against the workpiece.
When finished with the saw, lock the switch trigger,
remove the battery pack, and use the provided storage
hook to hang the saw for storage. Make sure to hang
from a suitable stable structure to prevent possible tool
damage or injury from a falling tool.
