PREPARING FOR OPERATION
1. Prepare the work space and position power cords away from the cutting area. Connect your saw to a
dust extraction system (see Page. 13).
2. Ensure that the saw blade is sharp. Set the correct depth of cut for your workpiece (see Page. 12).
3. Draw a guideline along the desired path of the cut on the workpiece surface.
4. Place the workpiece with the “good” side down (the saw blade cuts upward through the material, and
may “blow out” the top side) on a flat supporting surface. Secure the workpiece in place with clamps or
vises (not included). To prevent cutting into the support surface, place sufficient scrap material under the
workpiece.
5. Wear safety glasses, a dust mask and hearing protection. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry, and tie
back long hair to avoid getting anything caught in the tool.
OPERATING THE SAW
1. Hold the tool firmly in your right hand with your thumb on the blade release button and your fingers on
the power switch. Stand to the left side of the saw. (Do opposite if left-handed).
2. Set the front portion of the base plate onto the workpiece. Position the base plate with its right side rest-
ing on the larger section of board that DOES NOT fall off when being cut. Align the cutting guide indicator
(see page 12) with the cutting guideline marked on the workpiece. Ensure that the blade is NOT in contact
with the workpiece.
3. Pull the power switch back with your fingers to turn on the saw. Wait until the blade has reached full
speed (approximately 3 seconds).
4. Make sure that the base plate is stable on the workpiece; this is very important especially during the
start or finish of a cut. Push the blade release button with your thumb to lower the saw blade. Slowly push
the blade into the workpiece.
5. Gently push the saw forward along the cutting guideline while keeping the base plate flat against the
workpiece surface. Do not force the saw forward too quickly in order to try and hurry up the process. Let
the tool work at its own pace. Never pull the saw backwards while cutting.
6. Let the saw blade run through the entire cut. Release the power switch and blade release button and
allow the blade to come to a full stop before lifting the saw off the work surface. Disconnect the saw from
the power source.
WARNING:
To prevent serious injury, make sure all the instructions have been read and under-
stood before operating this tool. Check that the power switch mechanism works properly before
plugging the tool into the power supply.
WARNING:
DO NOT start the saw while the blade is in contact with the workpiece, this may lead
to kickback.

WARNING:
DO NOT raise the saw while it is running, this can expose you to the blade and lead to
an injury. Allow the blade to completely stop before lifting it from the work surface.
