Use And Care Manual

DUALSAW BLADES

• Keep the blades clean, sharp and properly set. Using a dull blade will place

a heavy load on your saw and increases the danger of kickback. Keep extra

blades on hand, so sharp blades are always available.

• Gum and wood pitch hardened on your blade will slow your saw down. Use

gum and pitch remover, hot water or degreaser to remove these accumula-

ons. DO NOT use gasoline.

BLADE GUARD SYSTEM

• The lower blade guard aached to your saw is there for your protecon and

safety. It should NEVER be altered for any reason. If it becomes damaged or

begins to return slowly or sluggishly, DO NOT use your saw unl the damage

has been repaired or replaced. Contact Customer Service. Leave the guard in

its correct operang posion when using the saw.

• The guard is operang properly when it moves freely and then readily returns

to the closed posion. If, for any reason, your lower blade guard does not

close freely, contact Customer Service for assistance before using it.

OPERATING THE SAW

• Clamp the work piece so it will not move during the cut.

• Slide the switch to ON to start the saw. Always let the blades reach full speed

before you begin to cut into the work piece.

• Apply steady and even pressure when making a cut. Forcing the saw causes

rough cuts and could shorten the life of the saw or cause kickback.

• Use the lubricang device (included) when cung aluminum, copper, stailess

steel and cast iron materials, because they have a tendency to smear and

adhere to the blades.

• Always feed material parallel to the blade. Feeding at an angle can burn the

blade and damage the blade teeth.

• Don’t place the saw on the part of the work piece that will fall o (aer the

cut).

• To stop the saw, slide the switch to the OFF posion.

OPERATION

CAUTION!

Don’t use the saw when the blade guard is not operating properly.

The guard should be checked for correct operation before each use.

If you drop your saw, check the lower blade guard and bumper for

damage at all depth settings before using.
