OPERATION
Fig. 10
Hold your saw firmly in front of and clearly away from you.
Make sure saw blade is clear of any foreign material. Be
sure material to be cut is held firmly. Small work pieces
should be securely clamped in a vise or with clamps to the
work bench or table. Mark the line of cut clearly. Depress
the lock-off button, then pull switch trigger to start the
cutting action. Place the base assembly against the work,
then move the blade into the work. Do not force. Use
only enough pressure to keep the saw cutting. Let the
blade and saw do the work. Use of excessive pressure
that causes bending or twisting of the blade may result in
broken blades.
