3. Cutting Operation
(1) As shown in Fig. 19 the width of the saw blade is the
width of the cut. Therefore, slide the workpiece to the
right (viewed from the operator’s position) when length
b is desired, or to the left when length a is desired.
(2) Once the saw blade reaches maximum speed, push
the handle down carefully until the saw blade
approaches the workpiece.
(3) Once the saw blade contacts the workpiece, push the
handle down gradually to cut into the workpiece.
(4) After cutting the workpiece to the desired depth, turn
the power tool OFF and let the saw blade stop
completely before raising the handle from the
workpiece to return it to the full retract position.
CAUTION: * Increased pressure on the handle will not increase the cutting speed.
On the contrary, too much pressure may result in overload of the motor and/or
decreased cutting efficiency.
WARNING: * Confirm that the trigger switch is turned OFF and the power plug has been removed
from the receptacle whenever the tool is not in use.
* Always remove the lock-off button from the handle and store it in a secure place
after completing the work.
4. Cutting narrow workpieces (Press cutting)
Slide the hinge down to holder (A), then tighten the slide securing
knob as indicated in Fig. 20.
Lower the handle to cut the workpiece.
Using the power tool this way will permit cutting of workpieces of
up to 2-15/16" (75mm) square.
NOTE: When cutting a workpiece of over 2-15/16" (75mm)
square, adjust the gap between the holder (A) and the
hinge to 25/32" (20mm).
Using the power tool this way will permit cutting of
workpieces of up to 3-15/16" (100mm).

5. Cutting wide workpieces (Slide cutting)
(1) Workpieces up to 4-7/32" (107mm) high and 12" (305mm) wide:
Loosen the slide securing knob, grip the handle and slide the
saw blade forward.
Then press down on the handle and slide the saw blade back to
cut the workpiece as indicated in Fig. 21. This facilitates cutting
of workpieces of up to 4-7/32" (107mm) in height and 12"
(305mm) in width.
(2) Workpieces up to 4-23/32" (120mm) high and 10-7/32" (260mm)
wide: Workpieces of up to 4-23/32" (120mm) in height and up
to 10-7/32" (260mm) in width can be cut in the same manner as
described in paragraph 5-(1) above.
Fig. 21
CAUTION: * When cutting a workpiece of 4-23/32" (120mm) height, adjust the lower limit position
of the motor head so that the gap between the lower edge of the motor head and
the workpiece will be 5/64" to 1/8" (2 to 3mm) at the lower limit position.
* If the handle is pressed down with excessive or lateral force, the saw blade may
vibrate during the cutting operation and cause unwanted cutting marks on the
workpiece, thus reducing the quality of the cut.
