WARNING:
Before mounting the blade onto the spindle,
•
always be sure that the correct ring for the
blade's arbor hole you intend to use is
installed between the inner and the outer
flanges. Use of the incorrect arbor hole ring may
result in the improper mounting of the blade
causing blade movement and severe vibration
resulting in possible loss of control during
operation and in serious personal injury.

OPERATION

CAUTION:
Be sure to move the tool forward in a straight line
•
gently. Forcing or twisting the tool will result in
overheating the motor and dangerous kickback,
possibly causing severe injury.
Always use a front grip and rear handle and firmly
•
hold the tool by both front grip and rear handle
during operations.
014217
Hold the tool firmly. The tool is provided with both a front grip and
rear handle. Use both to best grasp the tool. If both hands are
holding saw, they cannot be cut by the blade. Set the base on the
workpiece to be cut without the blade making any contact. Then
turn the tool on and wait until the blade attains full speed. Now
simply move the tool forward over the workpiece surface, keeping
it flat and advancing smoothly until the sawing is completed.
To get clean cuts, keep your sawing line straight and your
speed of advance uniform. If the cut fails to properly follow
your intended cut line, do not attempt to turn or force the tool
back to the cut line. Doing so may bind the blade and lead to
dangerous kickback and possible serious injury. Release
switch, wait for blade to stop and then withdraw tool. Realign
tool on new cut line, and start cut again. Attempt to avoid
positioning which exposes operator to chips and wood dust
being ejected from saw. Use eye protection to help avoid injury.
Rip fence (Guide rule)

014218
The handy rip fence allows you to do extra-accurate
straight cuts. Simply slide the rip fence up snugly
against the side of the workpiece and secure it in
position with the clamping lever on the front of the base.
It also makes repeated cuts of uniform width possible.
