I/_ WARNING: BE SURE to read and understand all instructions.
FaiFurs to follow all instructions Fisted below may result in electric
shock, fire and/or serious personal injury.
WORK AREA SAFETY
1. ALWAYS keep your work area clean and well IlL Cluttered benches and
dark areas invite accidents.
2. DO NOT operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the
presence of flammable liquids, gases, or dust. Power tools create sparks
which may ignite the dust or fumes•
3. ALWAYS keep bystanders, ehUdran, and visitors away while operating a
power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
1. Doubts insulated tools are equipped with a polarized plug (one blade is
wider than the other.) This plug wilFf'd in a polarized outlet only one way.
if the plug does not fit fully In the outlet, reverse the plug. if it still does
not fit, contact a qualified electrician to install a polarized outlet.
Do not change the plug in any way.
2. Double insulation [] eliminates the need for the three wire grounded power
cord and grounded power supply system. Applicable only to Class II
(doubre insulated) tools.
3. Before plugging in the tool, BE SURE that the outlet voltage supplied is
within the voltage marked on the tool's data plate, DO NOT use "AC only"
rated tools with a DC power supply.
4. ALWAYS avoid body contact with grounded surfaces, such as pipes,
radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric
shock ifyour body is grounded.
5. If operating the power tool In damp locations Is unavoidable,
/ALWAYS use a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter to supply power to
your tool. ALWAYS wear electrician's rubber gloves and footwear
in damp conditions,
6, DO NOT expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering
a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
7. DO NOT abuse the cord. NEVER use the cord to carry the tools or pull
the plug from the outlet. Keep cord away from heat, off, sharp edges or
moving parts. Replace damaged cords immediately. Damaged cords
increase the risk of electric shock.
3

ELECTRICALSAFETYcont.
8.Whenoperating a power tool outside, ALWAYS use an outdoor extension
cord marked '_JV-A"or 'W." These cords are rated for outdoor use and
reduce the risk of electhc shock.
NOTE: The extension cord must have adequate wire size AWG (American Wire
Gauge) for safe, efficient use. Smaller gauge wires, have greater capacity
(16 gauge wire has more capacity than 18 gauge wire).
PERSONAL SAFETY
1. ALWAYS stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense
when operating a power tool. DO NOT use tool while tired or under the
influence of drugs, alcohol, or medication. A moment of inattention while
operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.
2. ALWAYS dress properly. DO Nor wear loose clothing or Jowelry. Pull
back long hair. Keep your hair, clothing, and gloves away from moving
parts. Loose clothes, jewelry, or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
3. ALWAYS avoid accidental starting. BE SURE switch is in the "Off"
posttion before plugging in. DO NOT carry tools with your finger on the
switch. Carrying tools w_thyour finger on the switch or plugging in tools that
have the switch in the "On" posif_oninvites accidents.
4. ALWAYS remove adjusting keys or wrenches before turning the toot on.
A wrench or a key that is left attached to a rotating part of the tool may result
in personal injury.
5. DO NOT overreach. ALWAYS keep proper footing and balance at all
times. Proper footing and balance enables better control of the tool in
unexpected situations.
6, ALWAYS use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection,
Dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection must be
used for appropriate conditions

TOOLUSEANDCARESAFETY
1.ALWAYSuseclampsorother practical ways to secure and support the
workptace to a stable platform. Holding the work by hand or against your
body is unstable and may lead to loss of control.
2. DO NOT force tool. Use the correct tool and blade for your application.
The correct tool and blade wiltdo the job better and safer at the rate for
which it is designed.
3. DO NOT use tool If switch does not turn it"On" or"Off". Any tool that
cannot be controlled with the switch isdangerous and must be repaired.
4. ALWAYS disconnect the plug from the power source before making any
adjustments, changing accessories,or storing the tool. Such preventive
safety measures reduce the risk of starting the tool accidentally.
5, ALWAYS store Idle tools out of reach of children and other untrained
persons.Tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
6. ALWAYS maintain tools with care. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean.
Properly maintained tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind
and are easier to control.
7. ALWAYS check for mlsalignment or binding of moving par_s, breakage
of parts, and any other condition that may affect the tool's operation.
If damaged, have the tool serviced before using. Many accidents are
caused by poorly maintained too;s,

USING THE TRIGGER SVVITCH TO CONTROL VARIABLE SPEED
This saw is equipped with a vadatde speed trigger switch. The saw can be
turned ON or OFF by squeezing or releasing the trigger switch.
The speed of the blade can be adjusted by the pressure you apply to the
trigger switch. s!

USINGTHETRIGGER SWITCH TO CONTROLVARIABLE SPEED cont.
1. To increase the speed, apply more pressure to the trigger switch.
2. To decrease the speed, apply less pressure,
Choosing the Correct Speed
The speed you use will depend on the type of materials that you are cutting:
1. Use high speeds for cutting wood.
2. Medium speed is best for non-ferrous materials.
3. Low speed is recommended for curing metal,
NOTE:Material thickness and blade selection will also affect your speed
selection. As ageneral rule, as the material thickness increases, the speed
should be slower.
Z_ CAUTION: useaveryslowspeedwhen beginninga cut. Then
increase speed once the cut is started. Preloaged use at a very slow
speed may damage your saw.
BLADE INSTALLATION AND REMOVAL
This sow is designed to use all 1/2-in. universal shank blades.

THE SLIDING IpIVOTING SHOE (Figure 3)
The shoe slides in or out to adjust the
depth of cut to material being cut for
maximum control and longer blade life.
Adjusting the Depth of the Shoe
1. Push down and hold the shoe
adjustment button.
2, Slide shoe in or out to the depth of cut
that you desire and then release the
shoe ad ustment buttor_to lock the
shoe in p ace.
NOTE: The shoe also pivots to provide
maximum control against the surface
being cut.
Fig. 3 Moves in or out
To Pivot Shoe: (See Fig. 3)
1. Firmly hbid saw and then pivot I
shoe to desired position. IF], 4
FLUSH CUTTING (Figure 4)
1. Use the blade installed teeth up.
The compact design of the motor
housing and the adjustabie/pivottog
shoe on this saw allows you to make
extremely ctose cuts in floors, corners
and other extremely tight areas.
2. To obtain the maximum flush cubing
capability of this saw, make sure that
the shoe is in its cJceestposition to the
saw housing. And the teeth of'the blade
ere facing as close as possible to the
work surface.
WOOD CUTTING (Figure 5)
t. ALWAYS clamp the workpieco
down to prevent it from s))pping.
2. Place the adjuetobie shoe and
the blade lightly against the
surface to be cut,
3. Turn on saw and allow it to come
to full speed before applying pressure
to the workplace,
4, ALWAYS hold the saw firmly with=beth
hands while cutting. Whenever powdble,
hotd the adjustable shoe flrmty ag_net
the matodal to be cuL This will preempt
the saw from jumping or vibretfngand
help minimize blade breakage.
NOTE: Wear gloves if cutting for long periods.
10

METALCUTTING (Figure 6)
Thissawhasdifferentmete)cut_ngcapacitiesdependinguponthe
type of blade being used and metal being cut.
1. ALWAYS clamp the work down to
prevent it from slipping.
2. Use a finer blade for ferrous metals and a
coarse blade for non-ferrous metals.
3. When cutlJngthin gauge sheet metals,
ALWAYS clamp wood on both sides of the
sheet, This will give you a clean cut without
excess vibration or teadng of the metal.
4. DO NOT force the cutting blade. Forcing
the blade wil_reduce blade life and cause
the blade to break.
NOTE: We recommend that you spread a thin fitmof oil or other coolant along
the line of cut ahead of the saw. This will allow easier operation and help extend
blade life. When cutting aluminum, use keresene.
POCKET CUTTING: Wood Only
(Figure7)
1. Measure the surface area to be
cut and mark it dearly using a pen,
pencil or chalk.
2. Install a pocket cutting blade
into saw.
3. Tip the saw backwards untilthe back
edge of the adjustable shoe is resting
on the work surface.
4. To avoid breaking the blade, start
the saw and use the slowest speed
to begin the cut. Then graduatiy
increase the speed as you start to cut.
5. Hold the saw handle firmly end begin
to make a slow, deliberate upward swing
with the handle of the saw.
6. The blade will begin to feed into the rnatedsL
7. ALWAYS be sure that the blade is completely through the matedal before
continuing with the pocket cut.
NOTE: In areas where blade visibility is limited, use the edge of the saw
guard as a guide,
