OPERATING THE SAW
See Figures 14 - 16.
Refer to the figures in this section to learn the correct and
incorrect ways for handling the saw.
WARNING:
To make sawing easier and safer, always maintain
proper control of the saw. Loss of control could
cause an accident resulting in possible serious
injury.
DANGER:
When lifting the saw from the workpiece, the blade
is exposed on the underside of the saw until the
lower blade guard closes. Make sure the lower
blade guard is closed before setting the saw
down.
To make the best possible cut, follow these helpful hints.
Hold the saw firmly with both hands.
Avoid placing your hand on the workpiece while making
a cut.
Support the workpiece so that the cut (kerf) is always to
your side.
Support the workpiece near the cut.
Clamp the workpiece securely so that the workpiece will
not move during the cut.
Always place the saw on the workpiece that is supported,
not the “cut off” piece.
Place the workpiece with the “good” side down.
Draw a guideline along the desired line of cut before
beginning the cut.
Keep the cord away from the cutting area. Always place
the cord to prevent it from hanging up on the workpiece
while making a cut.
DANGER:
If the cord hangs up on the workpiece during a
cut, release the switch trigger immediately. Unplug
the saw and reposition the cord to prevent it from
hanging up again.
DANGER:
Using a saw with a damaged cord could result
in serious injury or death. If the cord has been
damaged, have it replaced before using the saw
again.
