WINDOW (FIG. 1)
WARNING: Do not operate the
saw with a damaged or missing
sight window. If window is damaged
or missing, have the saw serviced at
an authorised service centre. If saw is
operated without the window, metal
chips could fly through the guard and
cause personal injury.
CAUTION: Do not use oil or cutting
fluids with the metal-cutting saw.
Do not use cleaning fluids to clean
window. Cleaning fluids, cutting
fluids or oils could harm the plastic in
the window, interfering with the safe
operation of the saw.
The saw is equipped with a sight window (j) on the
side of the upper guard. This window allows the
user to see a cutting line on the material to be cut.
SAW SHOE (FIG. 1)
The front of the saw shoe (k) has a kerf indicator
(e) that allows the operator to glide the saw along
cutting lines. Aligning the cutting line with the notch
on the front of the shoe and centering it using the
modified V-shaped kerf indicator allows the operator
to keep the blade in line with the cutting line. If the
cutting line is visible through the narrowest part of
the kerf indicator, the blade will pass directly over the
cutting line.
WORKLIGHT
The saw is equipped with a worklight that is
activated when the trigger switch is depressed.
The light will automatically turn off 20 seconds after
the trigger switch is released. If the trigger switch
remains depressed, the worklight will remain on.
NOTE: The worklight is for lighting the immediate
work surface and is not intended to be used as a
flashlight.
