When sawing profile strips, start sawing on
the edge, not on a radius (Fig. 18).
To ensure an exact starting position for a
cut, clamp a of wood piece along the cutting
line, and cut along the edge (Fig. 19).
FREE-HAND SAWING
After blade is positioned properly,turn the
tool on and move into the workpiece.
Use only enough pressure to keep the blade
cutting steadily.
Do not force, as this will not make the saw
cut any faster; let the blade do the work.
Make sure that the saw blade tip goes into
free space on the other side of the material.
The cutting path must be free of obstacles
both above and below the workpiece.
To prevent splintering, avoid pressure on the
blade at the end of the cut.
When the cut is complete, turn off the tool
immediately.
Do not bring the saw blade to a stop by
applying side pressure after turning the tool
off.
Always let the tool come to a complete stop
before putting it down.

Operating Instructions for Saw with Miter Table Attachment
Disconnect the plug from
the power source before
making any assembly, adjustments or
changing accessories. Such preventive
safety measures reduce the risk of starting
the tool accidentally.
When using the tool in the
miter table attachment, the
blade must never be used with the teeth
pointing up. Contact with the blade while in
use will cause an injury.
Do not trap blade tip while
cutting. If the blade tip
strikes an obstruction it will kick-back ,or
blade will buckle.
The use of the miter table attachment
included with the model 1640VSK kit allows
the tool to be used in a stationary position
(See figure. 2)
Keep hands away from the immediate
cutting area.
The saw should not be used with any other
miter table attachment or miterbox.
Cuts of 0º as well as miter cuts of any angle
can be made on your workpiece with the
miter table attachment.
Clamp the saw blade with the teeth pointing
downward, and the teeth protector in place
before operating the tool.
When using the saw with the miter table
attachment, the general purpose saw blade
must be used, not the flush-cut blade.
This table shows the maximum dimensions
of the workpieces that can be cut on the
miter table attachment using the general
purpose blade.
Example: The workpiece can have a height
of 3-5/8", and the width can be a maximum of
2-3/4" (for a miter angle of 0º).
Typically, the widest crown molding that can
be cut on the miter table attachment is 2-3/4"
at 0º, and 2-1/4" at 45º
