Operation

CAUTION:

*Before use, be sure to release the handle from the lowered position by pulling the stop-

per pin.

*Make sure the blade is not contacting the workpiece, etc. before the switch is turned on.

*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.

*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

mark (saw mark) in the

workpiece and the precision

the cut will be impaired.

When cutting with this tool, the thickness

the blade is cut out of the workpiece as

well. Therefore, your cutting line should be

on either the left or right side

the groove

in the kerf board. Switch on the tool and

wait until the blade attains full speed before

lowering gently into the cut. When the

I----+

blade, contacts the workpiece, gradually

bear down on the handle to perform the

cut. 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 posi-

tion

A thin piece

cut off material could

otherwise contact the coasting blade and be thrown around dangerously.

CAUTION:

When cutting long workpieces, use sup-

ports that are as high as the top surface

level of the turn base.
