OPERATION (CONTINUED):
1. Mark the desired cutting area clearly with lines all side.
(See Fig. 9)
2. Set depth adjustment according to material to be cut.
3. Push the safety cover lever all the way back so the
blade is exposed as shown in Fig. 9.
4. Tilt saw forward and align the notch (Fig. 8) with the
premarked guide line.
5. Release the safety cover lever. When the safety cover
contacts the workplace surface, it will be in proper
position to open freely when cutting is commenced.
6. Holding the saw in position, with the blade not
contacting the workplace surface, pull the trigger.
7. After the saw has reached full speed, gradually lower
rear end of the saw until its base rests on the work
surface.
8. Advance saw along the cutting line up to the corner.
9. Release trigger and allow blade to stop completely before withdrawing the blade
from the workplace. Never under any circumstances pull the saw backwards while
the blade is in motion, as kickback may result.
10. Use a jig saw or hand saw to cut the corners out clean.
11. When starting each new cut, repeat as above.
