• Place blade lightly against work to be cut, depress the trigger switch and allow it to obtain maximum speed before applying pressure.
• Whenever possible, the saw foot plate must be held firmly against the material being cut. This will prevent the saw from

jumping or vibrating and minimize blade breakage.

- Any cut which puts pressure on the blade, such as angle or scroll cuts, increases potential for vibration, kickback and blade breakage.

WARNING: Shock hazard. Use extra caution when cutting overhead and pay particular attention to overhead wires which may be hidden from view.

WARNING: Use extra caution when cutting overhead and anticipate the path ing branches and debris ahead of time.

WARNING: Inspect work site for hidden gas pipes, water pipes, or electrical before making blind or plunge cuts.

Failure to do so may result in explosion, property damage, electric shock, and/or serious personal injury.

WORKING HINTS FOR YOUR MULTI-PURPOSED SAW

If your power tool becomes too hot, run no-load for 2-3 minutes to cool the motor. Avoid prolonged usage at very low speeds.

GENERAL

Always use a blade suited to the material and material thickness to be cut.

Always ensure the work-piece is firmly held or clamped to prevent movement.

Any movement of the material may affect the quality of the cut. The blade cuts on the upward stroke and may chip the uppermost surface.

Ensure your uppermost surface is a non-visible surface when your work is finished.

MAINTENANCE

Your power tool requires no additional lubrication or maintenance.

There are no user serviceable parts in your power tool. Never use water or chemical cleaners to clean your power tool. Wipe clean with a dry cloth. Always store your power tool in a dry place. Keep the motor ventilation slots clean. Keep all working controls free of dust.
