OPERATION

CAUTION:
• Always press the shoe firmly against the work-
piece during operation. If the shoe is held away
from the workpiece during operation, strong
vibration and/or twisting will be produced, caus-
ing the blade to snap dangerously.
• Always wear gloves to protect your hands from
hot flying chips when cutting metal.
• Be sure to always wear suitable eye protection
which conforms with current national standards.
• Always use a suitable coolant (cutting oil) when
cutting metal. Failure to do so will cause prema-
ture blade wear.
Press the shoe firmly against the workpiece. Do not
allow the tool to bounce. Bring the saw blade into light
contact with the workpiece. First, make a pilot groove
using a slower speed. Then use a faster speed to con-
tinue cutting.

fresh battery.
