4. While cutting, keep the shoe ﬂ at against the workpiece and maintain a

ﬁ rm grip. Do not force the saw through the workpiece. Forcing a saw

can cause KICKBACK. Use a light, continuous pressure to make the

cut while following the cut line through the sight line.

5. If making a partial cut, restarting in mid-cut or correcting direction, allow

the blade to come to a complete stop. To resume cutting, center the

blade in the kerf, back the saw away from cutting edge a few inches,

pull the trigger and re-enter the cut slowly.

6. If the saw binds and stalls, maintain a ﬁ rm grip and release the trigger

immediately. Hold the saw motionless in the workpiece until the blade

comes to a complete stop.

7. After ﬁ nishing a cut, be sure the lower guard closes and the blade comes

to a complete stop before setting the saw down.

Overload Protector

The overload protector automatically turns off the tool when the motor is

overloaded. The tool can become overloaded when using a dull blade,

cutting material that is too thick, cutting materials too quickly, or cutting

hard metals such as stainless steel. To prevent the overload protector from

activating, always use a sharp blade and follow the cutting instructions

under the "Applications" section. Do not attempt to defeat or override the

overload protector.

If the tool turns off automatically:

1. Release the trigger and unplug the tool.

2. Remove the blade from the workpiece.

3. Allow the tool to rest for a miniumum of two minutes.

4. Reset the overload protector by pushing in the button.

5. Allow the tool to run under no load to ensure the tool has properly

cooled.

6. Resume the cut. When restarting a saw in the workpiece, center the

saw blade in the kerf, or cut, and check that saw teeth are not engaged

into the material. If saw blade is binding, it may walk up or KICKBACK

from the workpiece as the saw is restarted.

General Operation (Figs. 5 & 6)

Always clamp the workpiece securely on a saw horse or bench

(Fig. 5). See “Applications” for the correct way to support your work in dif-

ferent situations.

WARNING

To reduce the risk of injury, everyone in the work area should wear

safety goggles or glasses with side shields. Unplug the tool before

changing accessories or making adjustments.

1. Draw a cutting line. Place the front of the shoe on the edge of the

workpiece without making blade contact. Hold the trigger handle with

one hand and the front handle with the other (Fig. 6).

2. Line up the sight line with your cutting line. Position your arms and body

to resist KICKBACK.
