General cutting

1.  Hold the saw firmly in front and 

clearly away from you.

2.  Make sure that the blade is 

clear of any obstruction and 

that the power cord or any 

extension cord is out of the 

path of the blade.

3.  Ensure that the material to 

be cut is held firmly. Small 

workpieces should be held 

in a vice or clamped to the 

workbench.

4.

  

Mark out the cutting line.

5.

  

Squeeze the trigger.

6.

  

Adjust the speed dial to correct 

the speed for the material and 

application..

7.

  

Place the shoe on the workpiece and begin sawing.

Note.

 Use only enough pressure to keep the saw cutting. 

Do not force the cutting; allow the blade and the saw to do 

the work.

WARNING.

 Use of excessive pressure that causes bending 

or twisting of the blade may cause the blade to break.

Plunge cutting

1.

  

Mark the line of the cut.

2.

  

Choose a point inside the area to be cut out and place 

the tip of the blade over that point.

3.

  

Rest the front edge of the shoe on the workpiece and 

hold the saw firmly in position.

4.

  

Press the lock-off button and squeeze the trigger to start 

the cutting action.

WARNING.

 Make sure that the blade does not touch the 

workpiece until the blade has reached maximum speed 

since this could cause loss of control and serious injury. Cut 

slowly until the blade has fully penetrated the thickness of 

the workpiece.
