OPERATION
OPERATING THE SAW
See Figure 5.
Secure the workpiece to a work bench or table with a
vise or with clamps.
Make sure the saw blade is clear of any foreign material
and that the power cord and extension cord are out of
the blade path.
Mark the line of cut clearly.
Hold the saw firmly in front of and clearly away from
you.
Depress the switch trigger to start the cutting action.
Set the shoe assembly against the workpiece.
Move the blade into the workpiece.
NOTE: Do not force. Use only enough pressure to keep
the saw cutting. Let the blade and saw do the work. Keep
pressure on the shoe, against the workpiece.
PLUNGE CUTTING WOOD OR WALL BOARD
See Figure 6.

Make sure the saw blade is clear of any foreign material
and that the power cord and extension cord are out of
the blade path.
Mark the line of cut clearly.
Hold the saw firmly in front of and clearly away from

workpiece and hold it firmly in position during the cut.
Depress the switch trigger and allow the saw blade to

WARNING:
Blades longer than 6 in. can whip and should not be used
for plunge cutting. Failure to heed this warning can result
in serious personal injury.
WARNING:
Cutting into electrical wiring can cause the blade, the blade
clamp, and the saw bar assembly to become electrically
live. Do not touch metal parts when cutting into a wall;
grasp only the insulated surfaces on the tool. Make sure
hidden electrical wiring, water pipes, and mechanical haz-
ards are not in the blade path when cutting into a wall.
