push in and hold the lock-on button located on the side of
the handle, then release trigger switch. Release lock-on
button and your saw will continue running.
To release the lock, depress the trigger switch 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.
WARNING
Before connecting your saw to power supply source,
always check to be sure it is not in lock-on position
(depress and release trigger switch). Failure to do so
could result in accidental starting of your saw resulting
in possible serious injury. Also, do not lock the trigger on
jobs where your saw may need to be stopped suddenly.
TO INSTALL BLADES
See Figure 2.
Unplug the tool.
WARNING
Failure to unplug your saw could result in accidental
starting causing possible serious injury.
Turn the tool upside down.
Rotate the quick release lever counter-clockwise and
hold in position.
Insert the saw blade into the groove in the roller guide,
making sure the back of the saw blade is properly
positioned in the groove.
NOTE:
Only T-shank saw blades can be used.
Push the saw blade into the blade clamp as far as it
will go.
Release the quick release lever.
WARNING
To avoid possible serious injury, always wear safety
goggles or safety glasses with side shields. Keep hands
and fi ngers away, from the motor housing and blade
clamp and do not reach underneath work while blade
is cutting.
WARNING
To avoid serious personal injury, do not use saw without
safety guard properly in place.
GENERAL CUTTING
See Figure 3.
Rest the front of the saw base on the workpiece and align
cutting edge of the blade with the line on your workpiece.
Make sure the power cord is out of the way of saw blade
and not in the line of cut. Start your saw and move it
forward on the work surface. Apply downward pressure to
keep the saw steady and only enough forward pressure to
keep the blade cutting.
WARNING
Do not force your saw.
Forcing your saw may overheat
the motor and break saw blades.
SCROLL CUTTING
See Figure 4.
Scroll cuts can be made with your saw by guiding the
direction of the cut with applied pressure on the handle.
WARNING
Excessive side pressure to the blade could result in
broken blades or damage to the material being cut.
ANGLE CUTTING (BEVEL CUTTING)
See Figure 5.
Bevel cutting angles may be adjusted from 0° to 45° right
or left. Angles for cuts from 0° to 45° in 22.5° increments
are marked on a scale on both the left and right side of
the base.
The use of a protractor is recommended when accurate
cuts are required.
ADJUSTING THE ANGLE
See Figure 5.
Loosen the base retaining screw with the wrench until
the base can be moved.
Slide base forward slightly to release the base from
the tab on the motor housing.
Align the mark on the base of the desired angle with
the edge of the motor housing.
Once the desired angle is reached, slide the base
back until the tab on the motor housing aligns with the
appropriate notch on the rear of the base.
Position the holder for the roller guide in such a manner
that the guide roller faces against the back of the saw
blade. Precise cuts are possible only when the guide
roller faces tightly against the back of the saw blade.
