by hand! (Figure N) Remember to support cantilevered and
overhanging material. Use caution when sawing material
from below.
Be sure saw is up to full speed before blade contacts material
to be cut. Starting saw with blade against material to be
cut or pushed forward into kerf can result in kickback. Push
the saw forward at a speed which allows the blade to cut
without laboring.
Hardness and toughness can vary even in the same piece of
material, and knotty or damp sections can put a heavy load
on the saw. When this happens, push the saw more slowly,
but hard enough to keep working without much decrease
in speed. Forcing the saw can cause rough cuts, inaccuracy,
kickback, and over‑heating of the motor.
Should your cut begin to go off the line, don't try to force
it back on. Release the trigger switch and allow blade to
come to a complete stop. Then you can withdraw the saw,
sight anew, and start a new cut slightly inside the wrong
one. Withdraw the saw if you must shift the cut. Forcing
a correction inside the cut can stall the saw and lead
to kickback.
IF SAW STALLS, RELEASE THE TRIGGER SWITCH AND
BACK THE SAW UNTIL IT IS LOOSE. BE SURE BLADE IS
STRAIGHT IN THE CUT AND CLEAR OF THE CUTTING EDGE
BEFORE RESTARTING.
As you finish a cut, release the trigger switch and allow the
blade to stop before lifting the saw from the work. As you
lift the saw, the spring‑tensioned lower blade guard will
automatically close under the blade. Remember the blade
is exposed until this occurs. Never reach under the work for
any reason. When you have to retract the lower blade guard
manually (as is necessary for starting pocket cuts), always use
the retracting lever.
WARNING: When cutting thin strips, be careful to
ensure that small cutoff pieces don't hang up on the
inside of the lower blade guard.
Ripping (Fig. O)
Ripping is the process of cutting wider boards into narrower
strips – cutting grain lengthwise. Hand guiding is more
difficult for this type of sawing and the use of a D
fence is recommended.
Pocket Cutting (Fig. P)
WARNING: Never tie the lower blade guard in a raised
position. Never move the saw backwards when pocket
cutting. This may cause the saw to raise up off the work
surface, which could cause injury.
A pocket cut is one that is made in a floor, wall or other
flat surface.
1. Adjust the saw shoe so the blade cuts at desired depth.
2. Tilt the saw forward and rest front of the shoe on material
to be cut.
3. Using the lower blade guard retracting lever, retract the
lower blade guard to an upward position. Lower the
rear of the shoe until the blade teeth almost touch the
cutting line.

4. Release the lower blade guard (its contact with the work
will keep it in position to open freely as you start the cut).
Remove your hand from the lower blade guard retracting
lever and firmly grip the auxiliary handle
in Figure P. Position your body and arm to allow you to
resist kickback if it occurs.
5. Make sure blade is not in contact with cutting surface
before starting saw.
6. Start the motor and gradually lower the saw until its shoe
rests flat on the material to be cut. Advance saw along
the cutting line until cut is completed.
7. Release the trigger switch and allow the blade to
stop completely before withdrawing the blade from
the material.
8. When starting each new cut, repeat the above steps.
Dust Extraction (Fig. H)
WARNING: Risk of dust inhalation. To reduce the risk of
personal injury, ALWAYS wear an approved dust mask.
A dust extraction port
The dust extraction port allows you to connect the tool to an
external dust extractor, either using the AirLock™ system, or a
standard 35 mm dust extractor fitment.
WARNING: ALWAYS use a vacuum extractor designed
in compliance with the applicable directives regarding
dust emission when sawing wood. Vacuum hoses of
most common vacuum cleaners will fit directly into the
dust extraction outlet.

Cleaning
WARNING: Blow dirt and dust out of all air vents with
clean, dry air at least once a week. To minimize the risk
of eye injury, always wear ANSI Z87.1 approved eye
protection when performing this procedure.
WARNING: Never use solvents or other harsh
chemicals for cleaning the non‑metallic parts of the
tool. These chemicals may weaken the plastic materials
used in these parts. Use a cloth dampened only with
