1. MAKING CROSS CUTS AND RIP CUTS (See
Fig. L, M)
WARNING: To avoid sudden kick-back, never
start a stationary blade while it is in contact with
the work piece.
Always start the saw and allow it to reach full speed
before commencing to plunge.
The blade teeth are exposed during this operation so
proceed with extreme caution.
a) ALWAYS use your saw with your hands positioned
correctly.
WARNING: Always maintain proper
control of the
saw to make sawing safer and easier. Loss of control
of the saw could cause an accident resulting in possible
serious injury.
b) When making cross or rip cuts, align your line of
cut with the center of the “V” (blade alignment
indicator), located on the front of the saw’s base
(See Fig. L).
c) Since the thickness of blades vary, make a trial cut
in scrap material along your cut mark to determine
how much, if any, you should offset the blade from
the cut mark to allow for the blade thickness to get
an accurate cut.
MAKING RIP CUTS (See Fig. M)
Always use a guide when making long rip cuts with
your saw. You can use any suitable straight edge
clamped to the work or the parallel guide that is
included with your saw.
2. POCKET CUTTING (SOFT MATERIALS ONLY)
(See Fig. N)
This operation requires much skill with a saw and must
only be carried out by a qualified person.
Clearly mark the area to be cut. Set the depth of cut
on the saw (See Fig. H1). Tilt the saw over the marked
area with the front edge of the base plate resting on the
work surface and the back edge lifted above the work
surface. The cutting guide should be aligned with the
line you have marked on your workpiece. With the saw
still in the tilted position, apply pressure to the base
plate so that the saw blade is fully exposed through the
blade slot in the base plate (according to the depth of
cut you have set). Ensure the blade is not touching but
is close to the work surface. Hold the saw firmly while
applying the least amount of pressure as possible on
base plate. To avoid kickback, you should hold the tool
