When changing blade, make sure to also clean upper and lower blade guards
of accumulated sawdust. Such efforts do not, however, replace the need to
check lower guard operation before each use.
CAUTION:
• The recessed side of inner flange is kept on the blade side when
mounting.
CAUTION:
• Be sure to move the tool forward in a straight line gently. Forcing or
twisting the tool will result in overheating the motor and dangerous
kickback, possibly causing severe injury.
Hold the tool firmly. Set the base plate on the workpiece to be cut without the
005496
blade making any contact. Then turn the tool on and wait until the blade attains
full speed. Now simply move the tool forward over the workpiece surface,
keeping it flat and advancing slowly until the sawing is completed. To get clear
cuts, keep your sawing line straight and your speed of advancing uniform.
