PLUNGE CUTS
Disconnect the plug from the power source
before making adjustments. Set depth
adjustment according to material to be cut.
Reconnect the plug to power source.
Hold the main handle of the saw with one
hand, tilt saw forward and rest front of the foot
plate on material to be cut. Line up the cutting
guide notch with the line you’ve drawn. Raise
the lower guard using lower guard lift lever
and hold the front of the foot plate with the
other hand. (Fig. 10).
Position the saw with the blade just clearing
the material to be cut. Start the motor and
once fully up to speed, gradually lower the
back end of saw using the front end of the foot
as the hinge point.
Once the foot plate rests flat on the surface
being cut, release the lower guard and move
the hand holding the front of the foot plate to
hold the auxiliary handle. Proceed cutting in
forward direction to end of cut.
Allow blade to come to a
complete stop before
lifting the saw from cut. Also, never pull
the saw backward since blade will climb
out of the material and KICKBACK will
occur.
Turn saw around and finish the cut in
the normal manner, sawing forward. If corners
of your plunge cut are not completely cut
through, use a jigsaw or hand saw to finish the
corners.

CUTTING WOOD, MASONRY, OR METAL
This tool is not designed for use with wood
cutting blades, metal or masonry cut-off

GANG CUTTING
Disconnect the plug from the power source
before making adjustments. Set depth
adjustment according to material to be cut.
Clamp all the workpieces securely. Reconnect
the plug to power source.
Position the saw with the foot resting on the
workpiece and line up the cutting guide notch
with the line you’ve drawn. Make sure the
blade does not contact the workpiece. Raise
the lower guard using lower guard lift lever
(Fig. 9).
Start the motor and once fully up to speed,
gradually push the saw forward.
Release the lower guard
as soon as the blade
contacts the bottom workpiece.
