Pocket Cutting
Pocket cuts are made in the middle of the
workpiece when it can not be cut from an
edge. We recommend using a Sawzall
®
reciprocating saw or jig saw for this type
of cut. However, if you must use a circular
saw to make a pocket cut, USE EXTREME
CAUTION. To maintain control of the saw
during pocket cutting, keep both hands on
the saw (Fig. 15).
Cross-Cutting Wood
Cross-cutting is cutting across the grain.
Select the proper blade for your job. Ad-
vance the saw slowly to avoid splintering
the wood.
1. Beginning at a corner, line up the sight
line with your cutting line. Tilt the saw
forward, fi rmly fi xing the front of the shoe
on the workpiece. The blade should be
just above cutting line, but not touching
it. Raise the lower guard using the lower
guard lever.
2. To start the saw, push the lock-off button
down while pulling the trigger. Allow the
motor to reach full speed before begin-
ning cut. Using the front of the shoe as
a hinge point, gradually lower the back
end of the saw into the workpiece. Re-
lease the lower guard lever and grasp
the front handle.
3. When the shoe rests fl at against work-
piece, advance the saw to the far corner.
Release the trigger and allow the blade
to come to a complete stop before re-
moving it from workpiece. Repeat the
above steps for each side of the open-
ing. Use a Sawzall
® reciprocating saw,
jig saw or small hand saw to fi nish the
corners if they are not completely cut
through.
Maintaining Tool
Keep your tool, battery pack and charger
in good repair by adopting a regular main-
tenance program. After six months to one
year, depending on use, return the tool,

• Lubrication

electrical operation
If the tool does not start or operate at full
power with a fully charged battery pack,
clean the contacts on the battery pack. If
the tool still does not work properly, return
the tool, charger and battery pack to a
