How to Use
WARNING:
Contact with electric lines can lead to fire and electrical
shock. Damaging a gas line can cause an explosion.
Penetrating a water line causes property damage or
electrical shock. When in doubt, call your local utility
companies for assistance BEFORE you cut.
OPERATING THE SAW:
1. Always have a firm hold of the saw with both hands and maintain a secure
stance. Keep hands away from cutting area and the blade. When cutting where
the saw may contact hidden wiring, hold the power tool only by the handle
and handgrip (these areas are insulated). Contact with a "live" wire will also
make exposed metal parts of the power tool "live".
2. Position your body to either side of the blade, not in line with the blade. Do not
overreach and keep proper balance at all times. Do not work overhead with the
saw.
3. To operate the power switch for use, squeeze the safety lock switch and the
power switch will operate freely. When the power switch is released it will
automatically become locked again.
4. Place the front of the baseplate on the workpiece (do not allow the blade to
touch the workpiece at this time).
5. Start the saw. When the saw is at maximum speed, slowly push forward. Hold
the saw securely with both hands.
6. When interrupting a cut for any reason, release the trigger and hold the saw
motionless in the workpiece until the blade comes to a complete stop. NEVER
attempt to remove the saw from the workpiece or pull the saw backward
while the blade is in motion.
7. When finished cutting, release the power switch. Wait until the blade has come
to a complete stop. Ensure the lower guard is covering the blade before
placing saw down on bench or floor.
8. UNPLUG the saw when not in use.
