accurate cut and to prevent dangerous loss of

tool control. Proper workpiece support will help

avoid blade pinch and possible kickback which

may result in serious personal injury.

OPERATION

NOTICE:

• Before use, be sure to release the handle from the

lowered position by pulling the stopper pin.

• 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.

•

During a slide cut, gently push the carriage toward the

guide fence without stopping. If the carriage movement

is stopped during the cut, a mark will be left in the

workpiece and the precision of the cut will be impaired.

WARNING:

• Make sure the blade is not contacting the

workpiece, etc. before the switch is turned on.

Turning the tool on with the blade in contact with

the workpiece may result in kickback and serious

personal injury.

1. Press cutting (cutting small workpieces)

014290

Workpieces up to 90 mm (3-1/2") high and 60 mm

(2-3/8") wide can be cut in the following manner.

Push the carriage toward the guide fence fully and

tighten the locking screw clockwise to secure the

carriage. Secure the workpiece correctly with the

proper type of 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 COMPLETE STOP before returning

the blade to its fully elevated position.

WARNING:

• Firmly tighten the knob clockwise so that the

carriage will not move during operation.

Insufficient tightening of the knob may cause

possible kickback which may result in serious

personal injury.

2. Slide (push) cutting (cutting wide workpieces)

014291

Loosen the locking screw counterclockwise so that

the carriage can slide freely. Secure the workpiece

with the proper type of vise. Pull the carriage

toward you fully. Switch on the tool without the

blade making any contact and wait until the blade

attains full speed. Press the handle down and

PUSH THE CARRIAGE TOWARD THE GUIDE

FENCE AND THROUGH THE WORKPIECE.

When the cut is completed, switch off the tool and

WAIT UNTIL THE BLADE HAS COME TO A

COMPLETE STOP before returning the blade to

its fully elevated position.
