Hold the tool firmly. The tool is provided with both front

wait until the blade attains full speed. Now simply move
the tool forward over the workpiece surface, keeping it
flat and advancing smoothly until the sawing is complet-
ed. To get clean cuts, keep your sawing line straight and
your speed of advance uniform. If the cut fails to proper-
ly follow your intended cut line, do not attempt to turn
or
force the tool back to the cut line. Doing so may bind the
blade and lead to dangerous kickback and possible seri-
ous injury. Release switch, wait for blade to stop and
