SAW HOOK
Your tool is equipped with a convenient saw
hook for hanging your tool. To use, simply
lift up hook until it snaps into the open
position (Fig. 9).
When not in use, always lower hook until it
snaps into the closed position.

Do not push the footplate
release button while sawing.
It will cause the footplate to release from the
desired settings and you may lose control and
be injured.
To reduce the risk of injury,
be sure the blade extends
beyond the footplate and all the way through
the workpiece throughout the stroke. Blades
may shatter if the blade hits the footplate or
hits the work at an angle that is nearly head-
on (Fig. 8).

1. Securely clamp the work.
2. Mark the line of cut and grasp the tool with
one hand on the handle and the other
placed on the insulated rubber boot over
the front housing.
Always hold the saw by the
insulated boot on the front
housing. If you saw into a blind area where
live wiring exists, you may be shocked or
electrocuted.
3. Keep the saw footplate firmly against the
work to minimize counter-force (jumping)
and vibration.
4. Squeeze the trigger to start the tool. Let the
saw reach full speed before starting the cut.
Guide the saw so that the blade will move
along the marked line.
SAWING TIPS
Following a few simple tips will reduce the
wear on the workpiece, the tool and the
operator.
1. Blades cut on the draw or back stroke. On
fine work, such as paneling, fiberglass, etc.,
place the good side of workpiece facing
down.
2.
Use the correct saw blade for the material
being cut and keep extra blades on hand to
use when others become dull. Replace
cracked or bent blades immediately.
3. Select the appropriate cutting speed.
