8.2 General cutting
▪ When starting, always hold the saw handle with one hand and the auxiliary handle (5) with
the other hand. Never force the saw but maintain a light and continuous pressure after
completing the cut allow the saw to come to a complete stop. When cutting is interrupted,
resume cutting by allowing the blade to reach full speed and then reentering the cut
slowly.
▪ When cutting across the grain, the fibers of the wood have a tendency to lift and tear,
moving the saw slowly minimizes this effect.
8.3 Pocket cutting
▪ Disconnect the plug from the power supply before making any adjustments. Set the depth
adjustment based on the thickness of the line drawing for the cut .raise the lower guard by
using the lift lever.
▪ With the blade barely above the material to be cut, start the saw and allow the blade to
come to full speed. Gradually lower the blade unto the material to be cut using the front
end of the shoe as a pivot point. When the blade starts cutting, release the lower guard.
When the shoe is resting flat on the surface being cut, proceed cutting in a forward
direction to the end of the cut. Allow the blade to come to a full stop before removing it
from the cut. Never pull the saw backward since the blade will climb out of the cut and
kickback will occur. Turn the saw around and finish the cut in a normal manner, sawing
forward. Use a jigsaw or a hand saw to finish the cut in the corners, if required.
8.4 Cutting Large Sheets
▪ Large sheet or boards require support to prevent bends or sags. If you attempt to cut
without leveling and properly supporting the work piece, the blade will tend to bind,
causing kickback.
▪ Support the panel or board close to the cut. Be sure to set the blade adjustment so that
you can cut through the material without cutting into the table or workbench. Suggestion:
use two by fours to support the board or panel to be cut. If the piece is too large for the
workbench, use the floor with the two-by fours supporting the wood.
9 CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
Attention! Before performing any work on the equipment, pull the power
plug.
9.1 Cleaning
▪ Keep the ventilation slots of the machine clean to prevent overheating of the engine.
▪ Regularly clean the machine housing with a soft cloth, preferably after each use.
▪ Keep the ventilation slots free from dust and dirt.
▪ If the dirt does not come off use a soft cloth moistened with soapy water.
Never use solvents such as petrol, alcohol, ammonia water, etc. These
solvents may damage the plastic parts.
9.2 Lubrication
From time to time, apply a drop of oil to the thread of the lock screw.
