accurate cut and to prevent dangerous loss of
tool control. Proper workpiece support will help
avoid blade pinch and possible kickback which
may result in serious personal injury.
OPERATION
NOTICE:
Before use, be sure to release the handle from the
•
lowered position by pulling the stopper pin.
Do not apply excessive pressure on the handle
•
when cutting. Too much force may result in
overload of the motor and/or decreased cutting
efficiency. Push down handle with only as much
force as is necessary for smooth cutting and
without significant decrease in blade speed.
Gently press down the handle to perform the cut. If
•
the handle is pressed down with force or if lateral
force is applied, the blade will vibrate and leave a
mark (saw mark) in the workpiece and the
precision of the cut will be impaired.
During a slide cut, gently push the carriage toward the
•
guide fence without stopping. If the carriage movement
is stopped during the cut, a mark will be left in the
workpiece and the precision of the cut will be impaired.
WARNING:
Make sure the blade is not contacting the
•
workpiece, etc. before the switch is turned on.
Turning the tool on with the blade in contact with
the workpiece may result in kickback and serious
personal injury.

Push the carriage toward the guide fence fully and
tighten the locking screw clockwise to secure the
carriage. Secure the workpiece correctly with the
proper type of vise. Switch on the tool without the
blade making any contact and wait until the blade
attains full speed before lowering. Then gently
lower the handle to the fully lowered position to cut
the workpiece. When the cut is completed, switch
off the tool and WAIT UNTIL THE BLADE HAS
COME TO A COMPLETE STOP before returning
the blade to its fully elevated position.
WARNING:
Firmly tighten the knob clockwise so that the
carriage will not move during operation.
Insufficient tightening of the knob may cause
possible kickback which may result in serious
personal injury.
Slide (push) cutting (cutting wide workpieces)
Loosen the locking screw counterclockwise so that
the carriage can slide freely. Secure the workpiece
with the proper type of vise. Pull the carriage
toward you fully. Switch on the tool without the
blade making any contact and wait until the blade
attains full speed. Press the handle down and
PUSH THE CARRIAGE TOWARD THE GUIDE
FENCE AND THROUGH THE WORKPIECE.
When the cut is completed, switch off the tool and
WAIT UNTIL THE BLADE HAS COME TO A
COMPLETE STOP before returning the blade to
its fully elevated position.
