Pocket Cut
- Disconnect the plug from the power supply before making any adjustments.
- Set the depth adjustment based on the thickness of the required cut.
- Raise the lower guard using the lower guide lever.
- With the blade just
above the material to be cut, start the saw and allow the blade to attain full
speed.
- Using the front end of the shoe as a pivot point, lower the blade gradually onto the material
being cut.
- Release the lower guard when the blade starts cutting.
- When the shoe is resting flat on the surface being cut, proceed cutting in a forward direction to the
end of the cut.
- Allow the blade to come to a full stop before removing it from the cut.
- Never pull the saw backward since the blade will climb out of the cut and kickback may
occur.
Turn the saw around and finish the cut in a normal manner, sawing forward. Use a jigsaw or a hand
saw to finish the cut in the corners if necessa ry.
Cutting Large Sheets
- Large sheets or boards require support to prevent bending or sagging. If you attempt to cut without
leveling and supporting the workpiece properly, the blade will tend to bind or kick back.
- Support the panel or board close to the cut.
- Be sure to set the blade adjustment so that you can cut through the material without cutting into
the table or workbench.
- Suggestion: use two by fours (2"× 4") to support the board or panel to be cut.
