OPERATING TIPS AND
MAINTNENACE
Before starting saw, insure the
wrench has been removed from the
arbor. If not removed, the wrench
could be propelled into the air and
may cause serious personal injury.
Avoid overloading the saw. Always use
sharp saw blades. Do not apply
excessive pressure to the saw while
using. If the speed drops abnormally,
decrease pressure immediately. If
the blade stops abruptly or becomes
jammed, release the trigger at once.
Ensure the safety of the workplace.
Clear the work area of all parts and
debris that may cause injury by flying
objects. Securely fix the object to be
sawn in a vise or otherwise clamp to
avoid injury. Do not attempt to hold
workpiece by hand.
Inspect the saw before use. Run the saw
before using to ensure all parts are
running smoothly and there are no
abnormal sounds or sparks. If any
defect is found, have unit serviced.
Match your feed rate to the material.
Use a lower rate of feeding the saw
through the material when cutting
hard materials. In softer material
such as drywall or soft woods, you
can feed the saw faster.
Know your worksite. Only saw as deep
as necessary. Check behind walls for
for wires, other electrical hazards, or
plumbing.
Keep the saw free from dirt and grease.
Operating this equipment has the
potential to propel debris into the air
