Saw Hook
Your tool is equipped with a convenient
saw hook for hanging your tool. To use,
simply lift up hook 5 until it snaps into
the open position (Fig. 4).
When using the saw
hook always be
aware that the accessory is exposed.
Always hang the tool in an area where
yourself and bystanders can not
accidently make contact with the
accessory.
To reduce the risk of injury, use care in
selecting the location for hanging the
tool.
• Select a suitably sized and shaped object
that will provide adequate hanging
stability. An unstable hanging surface
could result in the tool unexpectedly
falling.
• Insure that the tool is hung out of the way
of walkways and working areas with
bystanders. The tool could be bumped or
a bystander could become entangled
causing the tool to unexpectedly fall.
To reduce the risk of
injury, Do not use the
hanging hook if it appears damaged or
deformed. This could result in unstable
hanging and the tool unexpectedly falling.
When not in use, always close hook until
it snaps into the closed position.
Footplate Adjustment
The footplate 2 tilts in order to keep as
much of its surface in contact with the
work surface (Fig. 5 [a]).
The footplate 2 can also be locked into
one of three projection positions to
optimize blade life and/or to reduce
blade protrusion beyond the end of the
footplate, such as when cutting into large
diameter pipe or into walls. To adjust the
footplate position, simply push the
footplate release button 11 and move the
footplate 2 into the desired position. The
locking mechanism is spring-loaded to
lock into one of the 3 positions on the
footplate assembly. If the footplate is
pulled out so far that a notch shows at
the other end of the shaft, the footplate
assembly is extended too far out, and
must be retracted to the one of the 3
positions (Fig. 5 [b]).
Do not operate the
saw without footplate
installed and secured.
Do not push the
footplate release
button while sawing. It will cause the
footplate to release from the desired
settings and you may lose control and be
injured.
To reduce the risk of
injury, be sure the
blade extends beyond the footplate and
all the way through the workpiece
throughout the stroke. Blades may
shatter if the blade hits the footplate or
hits the work at an angle that is nearly
head-on (Fig. 6).
