Page 11: Operation
OPERATION STARTING AND STOPPING THE SAW WARNING: Before plugging in the tool, always check to see that the tool is turned off. Accidently start- ing the saw could result in injury. TO START THE SAW Press and hold the safety switch, and then hold down the trigger switch. NOTE: Always let the blade reach full speed before guiding the saw into the work piece. - Page 12 OPERATION CROSS-CUTTING AND RIP CUTTING Cutting directly across the grain of a piece of wood is called crosscutting and is likely the most common type of cut done with a circular saw. As mentioned in “Installing the Rip Guide,” cutting wood lengthwise, or with the grain, is referred to as rip cutting (or also, simply just “ripping”).
- Page 13 OPERATION POCKET CUTS A pocket cut is a cut that must be made inside the area of the workpiece rather than starting from an outside edge and working inward. Pocket cuts can be very dangerous for the novice to attempt because of the need to manually retract the lower guard and perform a plunge cut which is potentially hazardous.
