during operation. If the shoe is removed or held
away from the workpiece during operation, strong
vibration and/or twisting will be produced, causing
the blade to snap dangerously.
Always wear gloves to protect your hands from hot
•
flying chips when cutting metal.
Be sure to always wear suitable eye protection

cutting metal. Failure to do so will cause premature
blade wear.
Press the shoe firmly against the workpiece. Do not
allow the tool to bounce. Bring the blade into light
contact with the workpiece. First, make a pilot groove
using a slower speed. Then use a faster speed to
continue cutting.

•
battery cartridge is removed before attempting to

•
the like. Discoloration, deformation or cracks may
result.
