SWITCHING ON AND OFF

To start the machine, first push the lock-off
button for the On/Off switch 2 and then
press the On/Off switch 1 and keep it
pressed.
Actuating lock-off button 2 releases the
plunging device at the same time, and
allows for the saw to be pushed down. This
makes the saw blade plunge into the
workpiece. When pulling up, the saw
retracts to the starting position and the
plunging device is locked again.

cannot be locked on; it must remain
pressed during the entire operation.
Your saw should be running at the desired

turned off only AFTER completing the cut.
To increase switch life, do not turn switch

General Cutting Instructions
been released, be aware of the nec es -
sary time it takes for the blade to come
to a com plete stop during coast down.
Be aware of the blade exposure.
Always hold the saw handle with one hand
and the auxiliary handle or housing with the
other.
Ensure workpiece is securely clamped.
Maintain a firm grip and operate the switch
with a decisive action. Never force the saw.
Use light and continuous pressure.
Always allow the blade to reach the full
speed (as set on the speed dial) before the
blade contacts the workpiece. Unless a
plunge cut is required, lower the saw blade
to the preset depth before moving the saw
forward and into the workpiece.
When cutting is interrupted, to resume
cutting: squeeze the trigger and allow the
blade to reach full speed, re-enter the cut
slowly and resume cutting.
When cutting across the grain, the fibers of
the wood have a tendency to tear and lift.
Advancing the saw slowly minimizes this
effect. For a finish cut, a crosscut blade or
miter blade is recommended.
