HOW TO HOLD SAW MODEL 741
Hold saw as shown in Fig. 6. The
gear housing, intermediate plate, blade and pivoting guide shoe may be
made live if the blade cuts into live wiring within a wall.
TO PREVENT ACCIDENTAL ELECTRICAL SHOCK THE SAW
MUST BE HELD AS SHOWN IN FIG. 6, AND MUST HAVE THE RUBBER
FRONT HOUSING COVER PROPERLY INSTALLED AND NOT DAMAGED.
TO START AND STOP SAW
1. Make sure power circuit voltage is the same as shown on the
specification plate on the saw. Connect saw to power circuit.
2. Hold saw firmly. Squeeze trigger switch (A) Fig. 7, to start motor.
Release trigger to stop motor.
VARIABLE SPEED
The saw is equipped with a variable speed control (0 to 2600 SPM). As the
switch trigger is squeezed, the speed of the saw blade increases.
The lower speeds are recommended for most metal cutting, while the higher
speeds are recommended for wood. A few practice cuts at various speeds
(on scrap material), will aid you in choosing the best speed for obtaining the
desired results on your application.
PIVOTING GUIDE SHOE FEATURES
