9. Let the blade reach full speed BEFORE you enter

the workpiece, starting your cut.

10. Press down on the saw, keeping the front of the

base flat against the workpiece as you slowly

push the saw's blade into the workpiece.

11. Carefully guide the saw through the line of cut. DO

NOT bind the blade in the cut; push the saw blade

forward at a rate where the blade is not laboring.

When the cut is complete, release the trigger

safety release and paddle switch and let the blade come to a complete

stop.

DO NOT REMOVE the saw and blade from the workpiece while the blade

is moving. This could damage your cut (kerf), cause kickback, loss of

control, and result in serious injury.

12. When the blade and saw are clear of and removed from the workpiece,

the lower blade guard and base will be able to automatically drop down

and the blade guard release lever will engage the upper blade guard,

locking the blade above the base.

A_WARNING: ALWAYS maintain proper control of the saw to make

sawing safer and easier. Loss of control of the saw could cause an

accident resulting in possible serious injury.

ALWAYS maintain proper control of saw. Failure to clamp and support

Iworkpece and loss of control of saw could result in serious injury.

AWARNING: ALWAYS maintain proper control of the saw to make

sawing safer and easier. Loss of control of the saw could cause an

accident resulting in possible serious injury.

When making cross or rip cuts, align your line of cut with the center of the

cut guide indicator (15) located on the front of the saw's base.

Since the thickness of blades varies, MAKE A TRIAL CUT in scrap

material along the guideline to determine how much, if any, you should

offset the blade from the guideline to allow for the kerf of the blade to get

an accurate cut.

MAKING RIP CUTS

ALWAYS use a guide when making long or wide rip cuts with your saw. You

can use either a straight edge (sold separately), or use the edge guide that is

included with your saw.
