WARNING
!
After completing a cut and releasing the trigger, be
aware of the necessary time it takes for
the blade to come to a complete stop during coast
down. Do not allow the saw to brush against your leg or
side, since the lower guard is retractable, it could catch
on your clothing and expose the blade. Be aware of the
necessary blade exposures that exist in both the upper
and lower guard areas.
When cutting is interrupted, to resume cutting: squeeze
the trigger and allow the blade to reach full speed, re-enter
the cut slowly and resume cutting.
When cutting across the grain, wood fibres have a
tendency to tear and lift. Advancing the saw slowly
minimizes this effect. For a finished cut, a cross cut blade
or mitre blade is recommended.
Pocket cuts
Disconnect battery pack from tool before making
adjustments. Set depth adjustment according to material
to be cut. Tilt saw forward with cutting guide notch lined
up with the line drawn. Raise the lower guard, using lift
lever and hold the saw by the front and rear handles
(Fig. 10)
With the blade just clearing the material to be cut, start
the motor. Gradually lower the back end of saw using the
front end of the foot as the hinge point.

WARNING
!
As blade starts cutting the material, release the lower
guard immediately. When the foot rests flat on the
surface being cut, proceed cutting in forward direction to
end of cut.

WARNING
!
Allow blade to come to a complete stop before lifting
the saw from cut. Also, never pull the saw backward
since blade will climb out of the material and
KICKBACK will occur.
Turn saw around and finish the cut in the normal manner,
sawing forward. If corners of your pocket cut are not
completely cut through, use a jigsaw or hand saw to
finish the corners.

FOOT
Cutting large sheets
Large sheets and long boards may sag or bend,
depending on support. If you attempt to cut without
leveling and properly supporting the piece, the blade will
tend to bind, causing KICKBACK and extra load on the
motor (Fig. 11).
Support the panel or board close to the cut, as shown in
(Fig. 12). Be sure to set the depth of the cut so that you
cut through the sheet or board only and not the table or
work bench. The 2"x4" used to raise and support the work
should be positioned so that the broadest sides support
the work and rest on the table or bench. Do not support
the work with the narrow sides as this is an unsteady
arrangement. If the sheet or board to be cut is too large
for a table or work bench, use supporting 2"x4" on the
floor and secure.
