General cutting
Before cutting any type of material, be sure it is firmly anchored or clamped to prevent
slipping.
•
Hold your saw firmly in front of and clear away from you.
•
Make sure the saw blade is clear of any foreign material. Be sure the material to be
cut is held firmly. Small workpieces should be clamped in a vice or with clamps to
the workbench or table. Mark the line to cut clearly. Depress the lock-off button and
then pull the switch trigger to start the cutting action.
•
Place the shoe (base) assembly (1) against the workpiece, then move the blade into
the work. Do not force the tool.
•
Use only enough pressure to keep the saw cutting. Let the blade and saw do the
work. Use of excessive pressure that causes bending or twisting of the blade may
result in broken blades.
WARNING:
Always remove the battery pack before inserting or removing
a blade. Failure to remove the battery pack from the saw could result in
accidental starting, causing possible serious personal injury.
