GENERAL CUTTING
See Figure 6.
Hold your saw firmly in front of and clearly away from you.
Make sure saw blade is clear of any foreign material. Be
sure material to be cut is held firmly. Small work pieces
should be securely clamped in a vise or with clamps
to the work bench or table. Mark the line of cut clearly.
Depress the lock-off button, then pull switch trigger to
start the cutting action. Place the base assembly against
the work, then move the blade into the work. Do not
force. Use only enough pressure to keep the saw cutting.
Let the blade and saw do the work. Use of excessive
pressure that causes bending or twisting of the blade may
result in broken blades.
