TO USE THE LASER LINE
• Mark the line that you intend to cut on the workpiece.
• Adjust the depth and angle of cut as required.
• Push the laser on/off switch (3) to the "ON" position and project the laser beam.
• Push in on the lock-off button (2) and depress the saw on/off switch (1) and allow the
blade to reach maximum speed.
• Place the saw shoe on the workpiece. Align the laser line with the mark on the
workpiece and slowly push the saw forward keeping the laser line on the mark.
• Upon completion of the cut, release the trigger and allow the saw blade to come to a
complete stop before switching off the laser.
SAWING
:
To reduce the risk of serious personal injury, always hold the tool with
both hands.
• Let the blade run freely for a few seconds before starting the cut.
• Apply only a gentle pressure to the tool while performing the cut.
• Work with the shoe pressed against the workpiece.
POCKET CUTTING - FIGURE P
:
Never move the saw backwards when pocket cutting. This may cause
the unit to raise up off the work surface which could cause injury.
:
Laceration Hazard. Never tie the blade guard in a raised position.
Pocket cutting is used to cut a hole in a piece of
material without cutting from the side.
• Measure and mark work.
• Tilt saw forward and rest front of the shoe
on material to be cut. Align so that cut will
begin at the back of the drawn rectangle.
• Using the retracting lever, retract blade
guard to an upward position, with the blade
just clearing the material, start motor and
gradually lower the saw into the material.
:
Laceration Hazard. As
blade starts cutting the material, release the
retracting lever immediately.
• When the shoe rests flat on the material
being cut, complete the cut in forward
direction.
• Allow the blade to come to a complete stop before lifting saw from material.
• When starting each new cut, repeat the above steps.
