Pocket cutting
1. Disconnect the plug from the power supply before making any adjustments. Set the depth adjustment based on the thickness of the line drawing for the
cut .raise the lower guard by using the lift lever.
2. With the blade barely above the material to be cut, start the saw and allow the blade to come to full speed. Gradually lower the blade unto the material to be
cut using the front end of the shoe as a pivot point. When the blade starts cutting, release the lower guard. When the shoe is resting flat on the surface being
cut, proceed cutting in a forward direction to the end of the cut. Allow the blade to come to a full stop before removing it from the cut.
Never pull the saw backward since the blade will climb out of the cut and kickback will occur. Turn the saw around and finish the cut in a normal manner, sawing
forward. Use a jigsaw or a hand saw to finish the cut in the corners, if required.
Cutting larger pieces
1. Large panels or boards require support to prevent bends or sags. If you attempt to cut without leveling and properly supporting the work piece, the blade
will tend to bind, causing kickback.
2. Support the panel or board close to the cut. Be sure to set the blade adjustment so that you can cut through the material without cutting into the table or
workbench. Suggestion: use two by fours to support the board or panel to be cut. If the piece is too large for the workbench, use the floor with the two-by
fours supporting the wood.

Maintenance

1. To prevent accidents, always unplug the saw from the power source before cleaning or performing any maintenance the saw may be cleaned most effectively
using compressed air. Always wear safety goggles when using compressed air. If compressed air is not available, use a brush to remove dust and chips from
the saw.
2. Motor ventilation vents and switch levers must be kept clean and free of foreign matter. Do not attempt to clean by inserting pointed objects through
openings.
3. Never use any caustic agents to clean plastic parts. Such as: gasoline, carbon tetrachloride, chlorinated cleaning solvents, ammonia and household cleaners
containing ammonia. Do not use any of these to clean the saw.
4. Have an authorized service center examine and/or replace the worn carbon brushes in the event of excessive parking.
5. Blades become dull even when cutting regular lumber, a sure sign of a dull blade is the need to force the saw forward instead of guiding it while making a
cut. Take the blade to a service center for sharpening.
6. Keep the machine clean all the time.
7. If you discover any damage, consult the exploded drawing and parts list to determine exactly which replacement part you need to order from our customer
service department.
8. Clean the housing only with a damp cloth. Do not use any solvents! Dry thoroughly afterwards .In order to maintain battery capacity ,we recommend the
battery to be completely discharged every one month and fully recharged again .Only store with a fully charged battery and top-up the charge from time to
time if stored for a long time. Store in a dry and frost-free place, the ambient temperature should not exceed 40°C.
9. If the supply cord of this power tool is damaged, it must be replaced by a similar cord available through the service organization or a qualified authoritative
technician.
10. For safety reasons, the machine automatically switches off if the carbon brushes are so worn out that they no longer have contact with the motor. In that
case, the carbon brushes must be replaced by a pair similar carbon brush available through the after-sales service organization or qualified professional person.
CAUTION: The brushes must always be replaced in pairs.
CAUTION: Always disconnect the machine from the power supply before removing any electrical covers.
