Your saw is equipped with an electric blade brake which stops the saw blade within 1-2
seconds of trigger release. This is automatic and requires no adjustment.
SAWING
WARNING
: To reduce the risk of serious personal injury,always hold the tool with
both hands.
• 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 -fIGuRe M
WARNING:
Never tie the blade guard in a raised
position. Never move the saw backwards when
pocket cutting. this may cause the unit to raise up
off the work surface which could cause injury.
A pocket cut is one that is made when the edge of the
material does not push the lower guard open, but the
bottom edge of the rotating blade cuts into the middle of the
material.
• Adjust the shoe (5) so the blade cuts at desired depth.
• Tilt the saw forward and rest front of the shoe on
material to be cut.
• Using the retracting lever, retract lower blade guard to
an upward position. Lower rear of shoe until blade teeth almost touch cutting line.
• Release the blade guard (its contact with the work will keep it in position to open freely as
you start the cut). Remove hand from guard lever and firmly grip secondary handle (4), as
shown in figure M. Position your body and arm to allow you to resist kickback if it occurs.
• Make sure blade is not in contact with cutting surface before starting saw.
• Start the motor, allow saw to come to full speed, and then gradually lower the saw until
its shoe rests flat on the material to be cut. Advance saw along the cutting line until cut
is completed.
• Release trigger and allow blade to stop completely before withdrawing the blade from
the material.
• When starting each new cut, repeat as above.
