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. The tool is provided with both a front grip and rear handle.
004083
Use both to best grasp the tool. If both hands are holding saw, they cannot be
2
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
3
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.
