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.
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 firmly before switching on the saw. switch
the saw on, wait for it to reach full speed, and gently guide the blade
down into the material but maintain a pivoting force on the front edge
of the base. Watch your cutting line by carefully looking through the
front end of the blade slot.
DO NOT bind the blade in the cut; push the saw blade forward at a
rate where the blade is not laboring.
When the cut is complete, release the trigger safety release
and switch and let the blade come to a complete stop. DO NOT
REMOVE the saw and blade from the workpiece while the blade is
moving. This could damage your cut (kerf), cause kickback and loss
of control, resulting in injury.
