OPERATION
CAUTION:
• Before use, be sure to release the handle from
the lowered position by pulling the stopper pin.
• Make sure the blade is not contacting the work-
piece, etc. before the switch is turned on.
• 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.
Press cutting
Secure the workpiece with the vise. Switch on the tool with-
out 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.
Miter cutting
Refer to the previously covered "Adjusting the miter angle".
