• Do not apply excessive pressure on the handle when
cutting. Too much force may result in overload of the
motor and/or decreased cutting efficiency. Push down
handle with only as much force as is necessary for
smooth cutting and without significant decrease in blade
speed.
• Gently press down the handle to perform the cut. If the
handle is pressed down with force or if lateral force is
applied, the blade will vibrate and leave a mark (saw
mark) in the workpiece and the precision of the cut will
be impaired.
1. Press cutting
Secure the workpiece with the vise. Switch on the tool
without the blade making any contact and wait until the
blade attains full speed before lowering. Then gently
lower the handle to the fully lowered position to cut the
workpiece. When the cut is completed, switch off the tool
and WAIT UNTIL THE BLADE HAS COME TO A COM-
PLETE STOP before returning the blade to its fully ele-
vated position.
2. Miter cutting
Refer to the previously covered “Adjusting the miter
angle”.
3. Bevel cut
Loosen the lever and tilt the saw blade to set the bevel
angle (Refer to the previously covered “Adjusting the
bevel angle”). Be sure to retighten the lever firmly to
secure the selected bevel angle safely. Secure the work-
piece with a vise. Switch on the tool without the blade
making any contact and wait until the blade attains full
speed. Then gently lower the handle to the fully lowered
position while applying pressure in parallel with the
blade. When the cut is completed, switch off the tool and
WAIT UNTIL THE BLADE HAS COME TO A COM-
PLETE STOP before returning the blade to its fully ele-
vated position.
CAUTION:
• Always be sure that the blade will move down to bevel
direction during a bevel cut. Keep hands out of path of
saw blade.
