CAUTION
:
Before inserting the battery cartridge into the tool, always check to
see
that the switch
trigger actuates properly and returns to the "OFF" position when released.
Operation
Hold the tool firmly. Set the base plate on
the workpiece to be cut without the blade
making any contact. Then turn the tool on
and wait until the blade attains full speed.
Now simply move the tool forward over
the workpiece surface, keeping
it
flat and
advancing smoothly until the sawing
is
completed. To
get
clean cuts, keep your
sawing line straight and your speed of
advance uniform.
