Cutting thin or corrugated materials;
Cut thin and corrugated materials at least 25
mm (1") from the edge of the workpiece to
avoid injury or damage to the tool caused by
thin strips of metal being pulled into the upper
guard.
• Use sharp blades only. Clean and sharp blades
minimize stalling and kickback.
Fig. 14
WARNING
To prevent the risk of serious personal injury:
• When making an incomplete cut or cutting is interrupted, or blade is binding or tool is stalling; release the
power switch immediately and hold the tool motionless in the material until the blade comes to a complete
stop.
• To avoid kickback, never attempt to remove the tool from the work or pull the tool backward while the blade is
in motion. Make sure the blade has come to a complete stop, then remove tool from cut.
• To resume cutting, start tool, allow the blade to reach full speed, reenter the cut slowly and resume cutting.
1. Place the wider part of the shoe on the part of the work piece which is solidly supported (See Fig.
17), never on the section that will fall off when the cut is made. (See Fig. 18)
Hold the tool firmly to prevent loss of control. Working carelessly can cause severe personal injury.
