OPERATION
STARTING A CUT (Cont’d)
ikWARNING: TO MAKE SAWING EASIER AND
SAFER, ALWAYS MAINTAIN PROPER CONTROL
OF YOUR SAW. LOSS OF CONTROL OF YOUR
SAW COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT RESULTING
IN POSSIBLE SERIOUS INJURY.
TO HELP MAINTAIN CONTROL:
1. Always support your work near the cut.
2. Support your work so the cut will be on your right.
3. Clamp your work so it will not move during the
cut.
Place your work with its good side down. NOTE: The
good side is the side on which appearance is impor­
tant.
Before beginning a cut, draw a guide line along the
desired line of cut. Then place front edge of base on
that part of your work that is solidly supported. See
Figure 10.
NEVER PLACE YOUR SAW ON THAT PART OF THE
WORK THAT WILL FALL OFF WHEN THE CUT IS
MADE. See Figure 11.
Keep the cord away from cutting area. ALWAYS
place the cord to prevent it from hanging up on the
work while making a cut.
the cord hangs up on the work during
a cut, release the switch trigger immediately. Unplug
your saw and reposition the cord to prevent it from
hanging up again.
Using your saw with a damaged cord
could result in serious injury or death. If the cord has
been damaged, have it replaced before using your
saw again.
Hold your saw firmly with both hands. See Figure 10.
Push the lock-off button down and squeeze the
switch trigger. NOTE: The lock-off button is located
on top of the handle. ALWAYS LET THE BLADE
REACH FULL SPEED, THEN GUIDE YOUR SAW IN­
TO THE WORK.
iiWARNING: THE BLADE COMING IN CONTACT
WITH THE WORK BEFORE IT REACHES FULL
SPEED
COULD CAUSE YOUR SAW TO
“KICKBACK” TOWARDS YOU RESULTING IN
SERIOUS INJURY.
When making a cut use steady, even pressure. Forc­
ing causes rough cuts, could shorten the life of your
saw and could cause “kickback.”
REMEMBER:
When sawing through work, the lower blade guard
does not cover the blade, exposing it on the under­
side of work. Keep your hands and fingers away from
cutting area. Any part of your body coming in con­
tact with the moving blade will result in serious
injury.
.
After you complete your cut release the trigger and
allow the blade to come to a complete stop. DO NOT
REMOVE YOUR SAW FROM WORKPIECE WHILE
THE BLADE IS MOVING.
rtT*yi^Ui[tKHWhen lifting your saw from the work
the blade is exposed on the underside of your saw
until the lower blade guard closes. Make sure lower
blade guard is cfqsed before setting your saw down
on work surface.
