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.
Always use a front grip and rear handle and firmly hold the tool by both the
front grip and rear handle during operations. The tool is provided with both the
front grip and rear handle. 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 completed.
To get clean cuts, keep your sawing line straight and your speed of advance
uniform. If the cut fails to properly 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) (Accessory)
001480
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 screw on the front of the base. It also makes repeated cuts of uni-
form width possible.
