To reduce the risk of injury, everyone in the work area should wear
safety goggles or glasses with side shields. Unplug the tool before
changing accessories or making adjustments.
General Operation (Figs. 5 & 6)
Always clamp the workpiece securely on a saw horse or bench
(Fig. 5). See "Applications" for the correct way to support your work in dif-
ferent situations.

1. Draw a cutting line. Place the front of the shoe on the edge of the
workpiece without making blade contact. Hold the trigger handle with
one hand and the front handle with the other (Fig. 6).

2. Line up the sight line with your cutting line. Position your arms and body
to resist KICKBACK.
3. Pull the trigger and allow the motor to reach full speed before beginning
cut.
WARNING
4. While cutting, keep the shoe fl at against the workpiece and maintain a
fi rm grip. Do not force the saw through the workpiece. Forcing a saw
can cause KICKBACK. Use a light, continuous pressure to make the
cut while following the cut line through the sight line.
5. If making a partial cut, restarting in mid-cut or correcting direction, allow
the blade to come to a complete stop. To resume cutting, center the
blade in the kerf, back the saw away from cutting edge a few inches,
pull the trigger and re-enter the cut slowly.
6. If the saw binds and stalls, maintain a fi rm grip and release the trigger
immediately. Hold the saw motionless in the workpiece until the blade
comes to a complete stop.
7. After fi nishing a cut, be sure the lower guard closes and the blade comes
to a complete stop before setting the saw down.
Overload Protector
The overload protector automatically turns off the tool when the motor is
overloaded. The tool can become overloaded when using a dull blade,
cutting material that is too thick, cutting materials too quickly, or cutting
hard metals such as stainless steel. To prevent the overload protector from
activating, always use a sharp blade and follow the cutting instructions
under the "Applications" section. Do not attempt to defeat or override the
overload protector.
If the tool turns off automatically:
1. Release the trigger and unplug the tool.
2. Remove the blade from the workpiece.
3. Allow the tool to rest for a miniumum of two minutes.
4. Reset the overload protector by pushing in the button.
5. Allow the tool to run under no load to ensure the tool has properly
cooled.
6. Resume the cut. When restarting a saw in the workpiece, center the
saw blade in the kerf, or cut, and check that saw teeth are not engaged
into the material. If saw blade is binding, it may walk up or KICKBACK
from the workpiece as the saw is restarted.
