To attach the fastener, align the top end of the fastener
with the triangular mark on the dust bag.
The use of the dust bag makes cutting operations
cleaner and dust collection easier. To attach the dust
bag, fit it onto the dust nozzle.
When the dust bag is about half full, remove the dust
bag from the tool and pull the fastener out. Empty
the dust bag of its contents, tapping it lightly so as to
remove particles adhering to the insides which might
hamper further collection.

Securing workpiece

WARNING:
• It is extremely important to always secure the
workpiece correctly with the proper type of vise.
Failure to do so may result in serious personal injury
and cause damage to the tool and/or the workpiece.
• After a cutting operation do not raise the
blade until it has come to a complete stop. The
raising of a coasting blade may result in serious
personal injury and damage to the workpiece.
• When cutting a workpiece that is longer
than the support base of the saw, the mate-
rial should be supported the entire length
beyond the support base and at the same
height to keep the material level. Proper
workpiece support will help avoid blade pinch
and possible kickback which may result in seri-
ous personal injury. Do not rely solely on the
vertical vise and/or horizontal vise to secure the
workpiece. Thin material tends to sag. Support
workpiece over its entire length to avoid blade
pinch and possible KICKBACK.
