(FIG. M and O) show proper sawing position. (Fig. N and P)
show an unsafe condition. Hands should be kept away from
cutting area, and power cord is positioned clear of the cutting
area so that it will not get caught or hung up on the work.
To avoid kickback, ALWAYS support board or panel NEAR
the cut, (FIG. M and O). DON'T support board or panel
away from the cut (FIG. N and P).
When operating the saw, keep the cord away from the cutting
area and prevent it from becoming hung up on the work piece.
ALWAYS DISCONNECT SAW BEFORE MAKING ANY
ADJUST MENTS! Place the work with its "good" side—the
one on which appearance is most important—down. The
saw cuts upward, so any splintering will be on the work face
that is up when you saw it.
Cutting
WARNING: Never attempt to use this tool by resting it
upside down on a work surface and bringing the material
to the tool. Always securely clamp the workpiece and bring
the tool to the workpiece, securely holding the tool with two
hands as shown in (FIG. P).
Place the wider portion of the saw foot plate on that part
of the work piece which is solidly supported, not on the
section that will fall off when the cut is made. As examples,
(FIG. P) illustrates the RIGHT way to cut off the end of a
board. Always clamp work. Don't try to hold short pieces by
hand! 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 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. In any event, 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 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 and allow the blade to
stop before lifting the saw from the work. As you lift the saw,
the spring-tensioned telescoping 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 telescoping guard manually (as is necessary
for starting pocket cuts) always use the retracting lever.
Note: When cutting thin strips, be careful to ensure that
small cutoff pieces don't hang up on inside of lower guard.
RIPPING
Ripping is the process of cutting wider boards into narrower
strips – cutting grain lengthwise. Hand guiding is more
difficult for this type of sawing and the use of a STANLEY
parallel fence (22) is recommended.
POCKET CUTTING (FIG. O)
WARNING: Never tie the blade guard in a raised position.
Never move the saw backwards when pocket cutting. This
may cause the unit to raise up off the work surface which
could cause injury.
A pocket cut is one that is made in a floor, wall or other flat
surface.
1. Adjust the saw foot plate so the blade cuts at desired
depth.
2. Tilt the saw forward and rest front of the foot plate on
material to be cut.
3. Using the lower guard lever, retract lower blade guard to
an upward position. Lower rear of foot plate until blade
teeth almost touch cutting line.
4. Release the blade guard (its contact with the work will
keep it in position to open freely as you start the cut).
Remove hand from guard lever and firmly grip auxiliary
handle (5), as shown in (FIG. P). Position your body and
arm to allow you to resist kickback if it occurs.
5. Make sure the cutting surface before starting saw.
6. Start the motor and gradually lower the saw until its foot
plate rests flat on the material to be cut. Advance saw
along the cutting line until cut is completed.
7. Release trigger and allow blade to stop completely
before withdrawing the blade from the material.
8. When starting each new cut, repeat as above.
WARNING! Do not use this tool to mix or pump
easily combustible or explosive fluids (benzine,
alcohol, etc.). Do not mix or stir inflammable liquids
labelled accordingly.
Accessories
The performance of your tool depends on the accessory
used. Stanley accessories are engineered to high quality
standards and designed to enhance the performance of
your tool. By using these accessories you will get the very
best from your tool.
MAINTENANCE
Your Stanley corded/cordless appliance/tool has been
designed to operate over a long period of time with a
minimum of maintenance. To ensure satisfactory operations,
the tool must be maintained and cleaned regularly
WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury, turn
unit off and disconnect machine from power
source before installing and removing accessories,
before adjusting or changing set-ups or when making
repairs. Be sure the trigger switch is in the OFF position.
An accidental start-up can cause injury.
♦ This machine is not user-serviceable. If problems occur
contact an authorised repair agent.
♦ The tool will automatically switch off when the carbon
brushes are worn.
WARNING! Before performing any maintenance on corded/
cordless power tools:
♦ Switch off and unplug the appliance/tool.
♦ Or switch off and remove the battery from the appliance/
tool if the appliance/tool has a separate battery pack.
♦ Or run the battery down completely if it is integral and
then switch off.
