OPERATION

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. 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
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 a 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.
