The torque from the motor can cause the tool
to twist.
To turn tool “ON”, squeeze the trigger switch.
To turn the tool “OFF”, release the trigger
switch, which is spring loaded and will return
to the off position automatically.
Your saw should be running at full speed
BEFORE starting the cut, and turned off only
AFTER completing the cut. To increase switch
life, do not turn switch on and off while cutting.

When cutting is interrupted, to resume cutting:
squeeze the trigger and allow the blade to
reach full speed, re-enter the cut slowly and
resume cutting.
When cutting across the grain, the fibers of
the wood have a ten den cy to tear and lift.
Advancing the saw slowly minimizes this
effect. For a finished cut, a cross cut blade or
miter blade is rec om mended.

adjustment according to material to be cut.
Reconnect the plug to power source.
Hold the main handle of the saw with one
hand, tilt saw forward and rest front of the foot
plate on material to be cut. Line up the cutting
guide notch with the line you’ve drawn. Raise
the lower guard using lower guard lift lever
and hold the front of the foot plate with the
other hand. (Fig. 9).
Position the saw with the blade just clearing
the material to be cut. Start the motor and
once fully up to speed, gradually lower the
back end of saw using the front end of the foot
as the hinge point.
Once the foot plate rests flat on the surface
being cut, release the lower guard and move
the hand holding the front of the foot plate to
hold the auxiliary handle. Proceed cutting in
forward direction to end of cut.
