AUxILIARY HANDLE
The tool must be supported with the auxiliary
handle. The handle must be threaded into the
front housing of the tool (Fig. 1).
LED WORK LIGHT
Your tool is equipped with a light that turns on
automatically when the switch is activated for
better visibility during operation.
The light is maintenance free and was
designed to last the life of your tool (Fig. 1).
SAFETY SWITCH
The safety switch is designed to prevent
accidental starts. To operate safety switch,
press the release button with your thumb on
either side of handle to disengage the lock,
then pull the trigger (Fig. 1). When the trigger
is released the button will engage the safety
switch automatically, and the trigger will no
longer operate.
TYPICAL APPLICATION
1. Keep the blade off the workpiece until the
motor has reached full speed.
2. Start cutting on a surface where the
greatest number of teeth will be in contact
with the workpiece at one time (Fig. 5).
3. Place the material guide against the
workpiece and lower the moving saw blade
into the cut.
4. Do not apply pressure when cutting. The
weight of the tool will supply adequate
pressure for the fastest cutting.
Operating Instructions
The torque from the motor can cause the tool
to twist.
To turn tool "ON", squeeze the trigger switch.
To turn the tool "OFF", release the trigger
switch, which is spring loaded and will return
to the off position automatically.
Your saw should be running at full speed
BEFORE starting the cut, and turned off only
AFTER completing the cut. To increase switch
life, do not turn switch on and off while cutting.
Always hold the saw handle with one hand
and the auxiliary handle with the other (Fig. 4).
Maintain a firm grip and operate the switch
with a decisive action. Never force the saw.
Use light and continuous pressure.
5. When completing a cut, hold the tool firmly
so it will not fall against the workpiece.
