automatically close under the blade. Remember the blade
is exposed until this occurs. Never reach under the work
for any reason. When you have to retract the lower blade
guard manually (as is necessary for starting pocket cuts),
always use the retracting lever.

WARNING: When cutting thin strips, be careful to
ensure that small cutoff pieces don't hang up on the
inside of the lower blade guard.
Ripping (Fig. Q)
Ripping is the process of cutting wider boards into narrower
strips – cutting grain lengthwise. Hand guiding is more
difficult for this type of sawing and the use of a D
fence is recommended.

Pocket Cutting (Fig. R)

WARNING: Never tie the lower blade guard in a raised
position. Never move the saw backwards when pocket
cutting. This may cause the saw to raise up off the
work surface, which could cause injury.
Fig. R
A pocket cut is one that is made in a floor, wall or other
flat surface.
1. Adjust the saw shoe so the blade cuts at desired depth.
2. Tilt the saw forward and rest front of the shoe on
material to be cut.
3. Using the lower blade guard retracting lever, retract the
lower blade guard to an upward position. Lower the
rear of the shoe until the blade teeth almost touch the
cutting line.
4. Release the lower blade guard (its contact with the work
will keep it in position to open freely as you start the
cut). Remove your hand from the lower blade guard
retracting lever and firmly grip the auxiliary handle
as shown in Figure R. Position your body and arm to
allow you to resist kickback if it occurs.
5. Make sure blade is not in contact with cutting surface
before starting saw.
6. Start the motor and gradually lower the saw until its
shoe rests flat on the material to be cut. Advance saw
along the cutting line until cut is completed.

7. Release the trigger switch and allow the blade to
stop completely before withdrawing the blade from
the material.
8. When starting each new cut, repeat the above steps.
