Wear eye protection.
Avoid cutting any material like metal, etc., that
give off sparks.
CAUTION:
Always take care in preventing the power cord
from coming near the revolving saw blade.
Before starting to saw, ensure that the saw blade
has reached full speed revolution.
1. Place the saw body (base) on the work piece, and as
in Fig. 13 align the intended line of cut with the saw
blade, using the notch at the front of the base. This
relationship of base to work pieces should remain
unchanged regardless of the inclination of the base.
When
Inclined 45°
2. The switch should be turned to the ON position
before the saw blade comes into contact with the
work piece. The switch is turned ON when the
trigger is pulled by one's finger, and is turned OFF
when the trigger is released.
3. Moving the saw straight at a constant speed will
produce optimum cutting.

WARNING:
To avoid serious accident, ensure the switch is OFF
position, and disconnect the plug from the
receptacle before any adjustment.
Never tie or wedge the lower guard in a raised
position.
1. Mark the desired cutting area clearly with lines all
side. (See Fig. 14)
2. Set depth adjustment according to material to be
cut.
3. Push the lever all the way back so the blade is
exposed as shown in Fig. 14.
4. Tilt saw forward and align the notch (Fig. 13) with
the pre-marked guide line.
5. Release the lever. When the lower guard contacts
the work piece surface, it will be in proper position
to open freely when cutting is commencend.
6. Holding the saw in position, with the blade not
contacting the work piece surface, pull the trigger.
7. After the saw has reached full speed, gradually
lower rear end of the saw until its base rests on
the work surface.
8. Advance saw along the cutting line up to the
corner.
9. Release trigger and allow blade to stop completely
before withdrawing the blade from the work piece.
Never under any circumstances pull the saw
backwards while the blade is in motion, as kickback
may result.
10. Use a jig saw or hand saw to cut the corners out
clean.
11. When starting each new cut, repeat as above.
