Hold the tool firmly. The tool is provided with both a front
grip and rear handle. Use both to best grasp the tool. If
both hands are holding saw, they cannot be cut by the
blade. Set the base on the workpiece to be cut without
the 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 smoothly until the sawing is com-
pleted.
To get clean cuts, keep your sawing line straight and
your speed of advance uniform. If the cut fails to prop-
erly follow your intended cut line, do not attempt to turn
or force the tool back to the cut line. Doing so may bind
the blade and lead to dangerous kickback and possible
serious injury. Release switch, wait for blade to stop
and then withdraw tool. Realign tool on new cut line,
and start cut again. Attempt to avoid positioning which
exposes operator to chips and wood dust being ejected
from saw. Use eye protection to help avoid injury.
Rip fence (Guide rule)

► 1. Clamping screw 2. Rip fence (Guide rule)
The handy rip fence allows you to do extra-accurate
straight cuts. Simply slide the rip fence up snugly
against the side of the workpiece and secure it in posi-
tion with the clamping screw on the front of the base. It
also makes repeated cuts of uniform width possible.

MAINTENANCE

CAUTION:
Always be sure that the tool is switched off and
unplugged before attempting to perform inspec-
tion or maintenance.
Clean out the upper and lower guards to
ensure there is no accumulated sawdust
which may impede the operation of the
lower guarding system. A dirty guarding
system may limit the proper operation which
could result in serious personal injury. The most
effective way to accomplish this cleaning is with
compressed air. If the dust is being blown out
of the guards be sure the proper eye and
breathing protection is used.
Never use gasoline, benzine, thinner, alcohol
or the like. Discoloration, deformation or cracks
may result.
