LED WORKLIGHT (fig 7)
The LED worklight, located on the front of the saw,
provides additional light on the work surface for
operation in lower-light areas. The LED worklight will
turn on when the trigger switch is depressed. The
LED worklight will turn off when the trigger switch
is released.
GENERAL CUTTING (fig 8)
1. Remove the battery pack from the saw.
2. Make sure that the workpiece is firmly clamped
in place.
3. Install the appropriate type and size of blade for
the workpiece material and size.
4. Adjust the base shoe as necessary to make sure
that the blade will extend beyond the shoe and
the workpiece at all times.
5. Adjust the base shoe as necessary to expose
unworn blade teeth for longer blade life.
6. Check for clearance behind the workpiece so that the blade will not impact another surface.
7. Mark the line of cut clearly. If cutting metal, apply cutting oil to the line.
8. Attach the battery pack to the saw.
9. Hold the saw firmly with both hands. Make sure to keep your hands on the insulated gripping areas
only.
10. Press the lock-off button to the left side of the tool and then squeeze the trigger switch to start
the saw; allow it to reach the maximum desired cutting speed before applying the blade to the
workpiece.
NOTICE:
Cutting speeds should vary with the workpiece. Hard materials, such as metals, require lower speeds; use higher speeds for softer
materials.
WARNING!
• Before attaching the battery pack to the tool, always check to determine that the switch performs properly and returns to the
"OFF" position when released.
• Hold the tool only by the plastic handle and the insulated grip area to help prevent electric shock. You may encounter
electrical wiring when sawing into walls or floors. Sawing into a "live" wire will cause electric shock.
