Make sure the blade is inside the area to be cut.
Start your saw by using high speed and slowly lower
the blade into the workpiece until the blade cuts
through the wood.
Continue lowering the blade into the workpiece until
the base rests flat on the work surface, then move the
saw forward to complete the cut.
Use only the 7 teeth per inch blade for this type of cut.
METAL CUTTING
Many kinds of metals can be cut with your saw.
Be careful not to twist or bend the blades. Do not force.
If the blade chatters or vibrates excessively, use
a >
nertooth blade or higher speed. If blade heats
excessively, use lower speed. If blade teeth become > lled
or clogged when cutting soft metals, such as aluminum,
use a coarser-tooth blade or lower speed. We recommend
the use of oil when cutting metals to keep blades cool,
increase cutting action, and prolong blade life. Clamp the
work > rmly and cut close to the clamping point to eliminate
any vibration of the workpiece being cut.
When cutting conduit, pipe or angle iron, clamp work in a
vise if possible and saw close to the vise. To cut thin sheet
materials, "sandwich" the material between hardboard or
plywood and clamp the layers to eliminate vibration and
material tearing. By doing this, the material will be cut
smoothly. Lay out your pattern or line of cut on top of the
“sandwich”.
IMPORTANT
When cutting metal, keep exposed portion of saw bar
clean and free of metal chips by wiping frequently with
an oily cloth. Use extreme caution in disposing of oily
cloth after completion of job to prevent potential > re
hazard.
DUSTLESS FEATURE
See Figure 10.
For dustless operation, a dust port has been provided with
your saw. It attaches to the saw base.
This allows the air to : ow out around the blade blowing
sawdust and chips away from the operator's view of the
line of cut.
TO INSTALL:
Unplug your saw.
Attach the dust port to the back of the base. You can
hear a click sound when it is locked securely.
Connect exhaust opening to dust collection system.
TO REMOVE:
Unplug your saw.
Directly pull the dust port out.
TO CONNECT DUST EXTRACTION SYSTEM (NOT IN-
CLUDED)
Unplug the tool.
Connect the nozzle of the dust collection system to
the dust port.
EDGE GUIDE
See Figure 11.
An edge guide is available for use with your saw and can
be used for making crosscuts and rip cuts.
TO INSTALL:
Unplug your saw.
Insert arm of the edge guide through the two slots in
the base of your saw.
Adjust edge guide to the desired width and lock in
place with the edge guide screw.
WARNING
When servicing, use only identical replacement parts.
Use of any other parts may create a hazard or cause
product damage.
LASER GUIDE
See Figure 12.
Depress the laser guide switch to generate a red laser
beam on the work surface in front of the saw. Use the laser
to guide the saw along the line of cut.
LED WORKLIGHT
See Figure 12.
The screwdriver has a built-in LED worklight. This feature
is convenient when working in close or tight areas where
additional light is needed. Whenever the switch trigger is
depressed, the LED worklight will illuminate.
LIVE TOOL INDICATOR
This tool features a live tool indicator which illuminates as
soon as the tool is connected to the supply. This warns the
user that the tool is connected and will operate when the
switch is pressed.
