Fig. O
Pocket Cutting (Fig. P)

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. P
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 P. 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.
