Workpiece and Work Area Set Up

1.   Workpiece selection:

a.  Workpiece must be free of foreign 

objects and loose knots.

b.  Do not use to cut logs, tree limbs, 

or uneven lumber.

c.  Wet lumber, green (unseasoned) lumber, 

and pressure treated lumber all have an 
increased potential for kickback and should 
only be cut with a blade designed for cutting 
that lumber.  Wear a NIOSH-approved 
respirator and have appropriate ventilation 
whenever cutting  pressure treated lumber.

2.  Designate a work area that is clean and well lit.  

The work area must not allow access by children 
or pets to prevent distraction and injury.

3.     Secure loose workpieces using a vise or clamps 

(not included) to prevent movement while working.

4.  There must not be objects, such as utility lines, 

nearby that will present a hazard while working.  
This is especially critical for plunge cuts.    

 General Operating Instructions

1.  Make sure that the Trigger is locked, 

then  attach the Battery Pack.

2. 

 Make sure that all guards are in place 
and in proper working order and that all 
adjustment knobs are tight before operation.

3.      Hold the saw with one hand on the Main Handle 

and the other hand on the Auxiliary Handle.

4.  Align Saw on cut line with the larger part of 

the workpiece to the left of the Saw Blade.

5.  Push in and hold Trigger Lock on 

either side, then press Trigger.

6.  Allow the Blade to come up to full speed 

before contacting the workpiece.

Note:

  When cutting across the grain, 

wood fibers can lift and tear. Move the 
Saw slowly to minimize any tearing.

7.  After completing the cut, release the Trigger.  Make 

sure that the Lower Guard closes immediately.

WARNING!

After use, remove Battery pack and 

clean inside upper guard.  Sawdust accumulation 
interferes with lower guard operation.

8.   To prevent accidents, turn off the tool and  

remove its Battery Pack after use.   Clean, then 
store the tool indoors out of children’s reach.
