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 the tool, they cannot be cut by
the circular saw blade. Set the base on the workpiece
to be cut without the circular saw blade making any
c o n t a c t . T h e n t u r n t h e t o o l o n a n d w a i t u n t i l t h e c i r c u l a r
saw blade attains full speed. Now simply move the tool
forward over the workpiece surface, keeping it flat and
advancing smoothly until the cutting is completed.
To get clean cuts, keep your cutting 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 circular saw blade and lead to dangerous
kickback and possible serious injury. Release switch,
wait for the circular saw blade to stop and then withdraw
t o o l . R e a l i g n t o o l o n n e w c u t l i n e , a n d s t a r t c u t a g a i n .

chips and particles being ejected from the tool. Use eye
protection to help avoid injury.
