2. Insert the blade shank into the blade clamp

(f,fig. 9C).

3. Close blade clamp release lever.

4. Note that the blade can be installed upside-

down to assist in flush-to cutting (refer to

fig.9B).

TO REMOVE BLADE FROM SAW (FIG. 9A, 9B, 9C)

CAUTION: Burn hazard. Do not touch

the blade immediately after use. Contact

with the blade may result in personal

injury.

1. Pull blade clamp release lever (g) up.

2. Remove blade.

Worklight (ﬁg. 9C)

The worklight (e) is located below the blade clamp

(f) behind the shoe. The worklight will be activated

when the trigger switch is squeezed.

NOTE: The worklight is for lighting the immediate

work surface and is not intended to be used as a

flashlight.

Cutting (ﬁg. 9B, 10–13)

WARNING: Always use eye protection.

All users and bystanders must wear eye

protection that conforms to ANSI Z87.1.

WARNING: Exercise extra caution

when cutting towards operator. Always

hold saw firmly with both hands while

cutting.

Before cutting any type of material, be sure it is firmly

anchored or clamped to prevent slipping. Place

blade lightly against work to be cut, switch on saw

motor and allow it to obtain maximum speed before

applying pressure. Whenever possible, the saw shoe

must be held firmly against the material being cut.

This will prevent the saw from jumping or vibrating

and minimize blade breakage. Any cuts which put

pressure on the blade such as angle or scroll cuts

increase potential for vibration, kickback and blade

breakage.

WARNING: Use extra caution when

cutting overhead and pay particular

attention to overhead wires which may

be hidden from view. Anticipate the path

of falling branches and debris ahead of

time.

WARNING: Inspect work site for hidden

gas pipes, water pipes or electrical wires

before making blind or plunge cuts.

Failure to do so may result in explosion,

property damage, electric shock, and/or

serious personal injury.

FLUSH-TO CUTTING (FIG. 9B, 10)

The compact design of the saw motor housing and

spindle housing permits extremely close cutting to

floors, corners and other difficult areas. The blade

should be inserted upside-down to assist in flush-

cutting (fig.9B).

POCKET/PLUNGE CUTTING – WOOD ONLY (FIG. 11)

The initial step in pocket cutting is to measure the

surface area to be cut and mark clearly with a

pencil, chalk or scriber. Use the appropriate blade

for the application. The blade should be longer than

3-1/2" (89mm) and should extend past the shoe

and the thickness of the workpiece during the cut.

A 4" (102mm) blade is recommended for best

performance. Insert blade into the blade clamp.

Next, tip the saw backward until the back edge

of the shoe is resting on the work surface and the

blade clears the work surface. Then, squeeze the

trigger switch and allow saw to come up to speed.

Grip saw firmly with both hands and begin a slow,

deliberate upward swing with the handle of the saw,

keeping the bottom of the shoe firmly in contact with

the workpiece. Blade will begin to feed into material.

Always be sure blade is completely through material

before continuing with pocket cut.

NOTE: In areas where blade visibility is limited, use

the edge of the saw shoe as a guide. Lines for any

given cut should be extended beyond edge of cut

to be made.

METAL CUTTING (FIG. 12)

Your saw has different metal cutting capacities

depending upon type of blade used and the metal

to be cut. Use a finer blade for ferrous metals and a

coarse blade for non-ferrous materials. In thin gauge

sheet metals it is best to clamp wood to both sides

of sheet. This will ensure a clean cut without excess

vibration or tearing of metal. Always remember not

to force cutting blade as this reduces blade life and

causes costly blade breakage.

NOTE: It is generally recommended that when

cutting metals you should spread a thin film of oil or

other lubricant along the line ahead of the saw cut

for easier operation and longer blade life.

HORIZONTAL/VERTICAL SAW MODES (FIG. 13)

The saw can be used in either of the modes shown.

Horizontal Mode: Blade teeth face downward as

shown in figure13A.

Vertical Mode: Blade teeth face forward as shown

in figure 13B.
