Operating Guides and Tips
Avoid overloading the saw. Always use
sharp blades. Do not apply exces-
sive pressure to the saw while using.
If the speed drops abnormally,
decrease pressure immediately. If
the blade stops abruptly or becomes
locked, release the trigger at once.
Extract the blade and determine what
occured to cause this and rectifiy.
Ensure the safety of the workplace.
Ensure the saw blade will not pass
through bench or saw horse that
workpiece may be on. Securely fix
smaller objects to be cut in a vise
or otherwise clamp to avoid injury.
Do not attempt to hold workpiece
by hand.
Avoid blade pinch. Saw blades may
become pinched while cutting a work

piece that is improperly supported,
very thick workpieces or when sev-
eral workpieces are loosely stacked.
Know how to avoid these situations
to minimize risk of damage to the
saw, saw blade or personal injury.
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.
Know your worksite. Only cut as deep
as necessary. Be extremely careful
when cutting behind walls for wires,
other electrical hazards, gas lines,
or plumbing.
Use accessories properly. Use the right
blade for the job. Be aware of blade
TPI necessary for the type and thick
-
ness of the material. Use the appro-
priate blade speed- when in doubt
slow the blade speed.
