• Let the blade run freely for a few
seconds before starting the cut.
• Apply only a gentle pressure to the
tool while performing the cut.
• Work with the shoe pressed against
the workpiece.
HINTS FOR OPTIMUM USE
• As some splintering along the line of
cut on the top side of the workpiece
cannot be avoided, cut on the side
where splintering is acceptable.
• Where splintering is to be minimized,
e.g. when cutting laminates, clamp a
piece of plywood onto the top of the
workpiece.
POCKET CUTTING (FIG.17)
POCKET CUTTING IS USED TO CUT A
HOLE IN A PIECE OF MATERIAL
WITHOUT CUTTING FROM THE SIDE.
• Measure and mark work.
• Tilt saw forward and rest front of the
shoe on material to be cut. Align so
that cut will begin at the back of the
drawn rectangle shown in figure 17.
• Using the retracting lever, retract
blade guard to an upward position,
with the blade just clearing the
material, start motor and gradually
lower the saw into the material.
WARNING: As blade starts cutting
the material, release the retracting lever
immediately.
• Never tie the blade guard in a raised
position.
• When the shoe rests flat on the
material being cut, complete the cut in
forward direction.
• Allow the blade to come to a complete
stop before lifting saw from material.
• When starting each new cut, repeat
the above steps.
WRENCH STORAGE (FIG.18)
The blade wrench (10) can be stored on
the saw shoe as shown in figure 18.
