The compact design of the motor

housing and the adjustablelpivoting

shoe on this saw allows you to make

extremely close cuts in floors, corners

and other extremely tight areas.

capability of this sew, make sure that

the shoe is in its closest position to the

saw housing. And the teeth of the blade

are facing as close as possible to the

work surface.

WOOD CUTTING (Figure 5)

1. ALWAYS clamp the workpiece

down to prevent it from slipping,

2. Place the adjustable shoe and

the blade lightly against the

surface to be cut.

3. Turn on saw and allow it to come

to full speed before applying pressure

to the workpiece.

4. ALWAYS hold the saw firmly with both

hands while cutting. Whenever possible,

hold the adjustable shoe firmly against

the material to be cut. This will prevent

the saw from jumping or vibrating and

help minimize blade breakage•
