Operation
CAUTION:
*Before use, be sure to release the handle from the lowered position by pulling the stop-
per pin.
*Make sure the blade is not contacting the workpiece, etc. before the switch is turned on.
*Do not apply excessive pressure on the handle when cutting. Too much force may result
in overload of the motor and/or decreased cutting efficiency.
*Gently press down the handle to perform the cut. If the handle is pressed down with
force or if lateral force is applied, the blade will vibrate and leave a mark (saw mark) in the
workpiece and the precision of the cut will be impaired.
*During a slide cut, gently push the carriage toward the guide fence without stopping. If
the carriage movement is stopped during the cut, a mark will be left in the workpiece and
the precision of the cut will be impaired.
