POCKET CUTS

Disconnect the plug from the power source

before making adjustments. Set depth adjust-

ment according to material to be cut. Tilt saw

f

orward with cutting guide notch lined up with

the line you’ve drawn. Raise the lower guard,

using lift lever and hold the saw by the front and

rear handles (Fig. 8).

With the blade just clearing the material to be

cut, start the motor. Gradually lower the back

end of saw using the front end of the foot as the

hinge point.

As blade starts cutting the

material, release the lower

guard immediately.

When the foot rests flat on

the surface being cut, proceed cutting in forward

direction to end of cut.

Allow blade to come to a

complete stop before lifting

the saw from cut. Also, never pull the saw

backward since blade will climb out of the

material and KICKBACK will occur.

Turn saw around and finish the cut in the

normal manner, sawing forward. If corners of

your pocket cut are not completely cut through,

use a jigsaw or hand saw to finish the corners.

WARNING

CUTTING LARGE SHEETS

Large sheets and long boards sag or bend,

depending on support. If you attempt to cut

without leveling and properly supporting the

piece, the blade will tend to bind, causing KICK-

BACK and extra load on the motor

(Fig. 9).

Support the panel or board close to the cut, as

shown in (Fig. 10). Be sure to set the depth of

the cut so that you cut through the sheet or

board only and not the table or work bench. The

two-by-fours used to raise and support the work

should be positioned so that the broadest sides

support the work and rest on the table or bench.

Do not support the work with the narrow sides

as this is an unsteady arrangement. If the sheet

or board to be cut is too large for a table or work

bench, use the supporting two-by-fours on the

floor and secure.
