blade and not in the line of cut.
Start the motor by depressing the lock-off button and squeezing the trigger switch.
NOTE: Always let the blade reach full speed before you begin to cut into the workpiece.
Slowly push the saw forward using both hands. Apply downward pressure to keep the saw steady and only
enough forward pressure to keep the blade cutting.
When making a cut always use steady, even pressure. Forcing the saw causes rough cuts and could shorten
the life of the saw or cause kickback. Allow the blade and the saw to do the work.
After completing your cut, release the trigger switch and allow the blade to come to a complete stop. Do not
remove the saw from the workpiece while the blade is moving.
NOTE: Since blade thickness varies, always make a trial cut in scrap material along the guideline to
determine how much, if any, the guideline must be offset to get an accurate cut.
b) Making a plunge cut
WARNING: To avoid loss of control, always use extreme caution when making plunge cuts.
Adjust the depth of cut as required.
Adjust the bevel setting to 0°.
Raise the lower blade guard lever (with lever 19) to expose the saw blade and firmly rest the front of the
base flat against the workpiece with the main handle raised so the blade does not touch the workpiece.
With the blade just clearing the workpiece, start the motor by depressing the lock-off button and squeezing
the trigger switch.
Always let the blade reach full speed before you begin to cut into the workpiece.
Slowly lower the saw into the workpiece, using the front of the base resting on the workpiece as a hinge
point.
WARNING: As soon as the blade starts cutting the material, release the lower blade guard lever.
Once the base plate is flat against the workpiece, proceed cutting in a forward direction to the end of the cut.
After completing your cut, release the trigger switch and allow the blade to come to a complete stop. Do not
remove the saw from the workpiece while the blade is moving.
If the corners of your pocket cut are not completely cut through, use a jigsaw or hand saw to finish the
corners.
WARNING: Always cut in a forward direction when making a pocket cut. Cutting in the reverse direction
could cause the saw to climb up on the workpiece and back toward you, possibly causing serious injury.
WARNING: Never tie the lower blade guard in a raised position. Leaving the blade exposed could lead to
serious injury.
