Prior to Operation
•
Make sure the guards have been mounted correctly. The
saw blade guard must be in closed position.
•
Make sure the saw blade rotates in the direction of the
arrow on the blade.
•
Do not use excessively worn saw blades.
OPERATION
Instructions for Use
WARNING: Always observe the safety instructions and
applicable regulations.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal
injury, turn tool off and disconnect tool from power
source before making any adjustments or removing/
installing attachments or accessories. An accidental
start-up can cause injury.
Proper Hand Position (Fig. K)
WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal injury,
ALWAYS use proper hand position as shown.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal injury,
ALWAYS hold securely in anticipation of a sudden reaction.
Proper hand position requires one hand on the main
handle

Workpiece Support (Fig. L–O)
WARNING: It is important to support the work properly
and to hold the saw firmly to prevent loss of control which
could cause personal injury. Figure K illustrates proper
hand support of the saw. Maintain a firm grip with both
hands on the saw and position your body and arm to
allow you to resist kickback if it occurs. ALWAYS TURN
OFF TOOL AND REMOVE BATTERY BEFORE MAKING ANY
ADJUSTMENTS!
Figure K shows proper sawing position. Note that hands are
kept away from cutting area. to avoid kickback, DO support
board or panel NEAR the cut (Fig. J). DON'T support board or
panel away from the cut (Fig. J).
Place the work with its "good" side – the one on which
over
appearance is most important – down. The saw cuts upward,
so any splintering will be on the work face that is up when you
cut it.
Cutting (Fig. L–N)
Place the wider portion of the saw shoe on that part of the
workpiece which is solidly supported, not on the section that
will fall off when the cut is made. As an example, Figure K
illustrates the RIGHT way to cut off the end of a board. Always
clamp work. Don't try to hold short pieces by hand! (Figure L)
Remember to support cantilevered and overhanging material.
Use caution when sawing material from below.
Be sure saw is up to full speed before blade contacts material
to be cut. Starting saw with blade against material to be
cut or pushed forward into kerf can result in kickback. Push
the saw forward at a speed which allows the blade to cut
without laboring.
Hardness and toughness can vary even in the same piece of
material, and knotty or damp sections can put a heavy load on
the saw. When this happens, push the saw more slowly, but
hard enough to keep working without much decrease in speed.
Forcing the saw can cause rough cuts, inaccuracy, kickback, and
over‑heating of the motor.
Should your cut begin to go off the line, don't try to force it back
on. Release the trigger switch and allow blade to come to a
complete stop. Then you can withdraw the saw, sight anew, and
start a new cut slightly inside the wrong one. Withdraw the saw
if you must shift the cut. Forcing a correction inside the cut can
stall the saw and lead to kickback.
IF SAW STALLS, RELEASE THE TRIGGER SWITCH AND BACK THE
SAW UNTIL IT IS LOOSE. BE SURE BLADE IS STRAIGHT IN THE CUT
AND CLEAR OF THE CUTTING EDGE BEFORE RESTARTING.
As you finish a cut, release the trigger switch and allow the
blade to stop before lifting the saw from the work. As you lift the
saw, the spring‑tensioned lower blade guard will automatically
close under the blade. Remember the blade is exposed until this
occurs. Never reach under the work for any reason. When you
have to retract the lower blade guard manually (as is necessary
for starting pocket cuts), always use the retracting lever.
WARNING: When cutting thin strips, be careful to ensure
that small cutoff pieces don't hang up on the inside of the
lower blade guard.
