Before Using Wood Saw
This tool is intended for cutting wood. Refer to
the "Accessories" section for a list of blades to be
used for the proper applications of this tool. The
following precautions must be followed to reduce
the risk of injury;
•Do not cut stacked materials. Cut one piece at a
time.
•Do not cut metal.
•Cut materials with the wider edge of the shoe
over the clamped side of the material.
•Do not touch the saw blade with bare hands
immediately after cutting; it may be hot and could
burn skin.
Each time you use the wood saw, you must make
sure it is in good operating condition.
Use the following checklist:
1.Is the blade installed in the correct direction?
The arrow on the blade must point in the same
direction as the arrow on the upper blade
cover.
2.Is the blade installed properly?
Make sure the hex bolt is tightened securely.
(See Fig.13)
3.Does the blade look alright?
Replace the blade immediately if there are any
cracks in it or if any teeth are broken.
4.Does the lower guard close properly?
WARNING
To avoid injury, do not use the wood saw if
the lower guard does not close quickly over
the blade.
5.Is the battery pack charged and inserted firmly
to the wood saw?
6.Is the depth adjustment lever for cutting
securely tightened?
7.Is the bevel adjusting knob for cutting securely
tightened?
8.Is the workpiece securely clamped on a saw
horse or bench?
Using Wood Saw
CAUTION:
To reduce the risk of injury read the Safety
Instructions at the front of this manual before using
the wood saw.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of injury, wear safety goggles
or glasses with side shields.
Follow these steps:
Hold the wood saw with both hands. (See Fig. 4)
Do not attempt to remove cut material when
blade is moving.
1.Line up the sight line on shoe with your cutting
line. (See Fig. 3)
Alignment with cutting line

squeeze the power switch to start the motor,
and then release the switch lock lever.

•Check that the switch lock lever works.
If power switch can be activated without
depressing the switch lock lever, discontinue
use immediately. Take the tool to an author-
ized service center.
•Always hold the handle with one hand and the
front grip with the other. (See Fig.4) Maintain
a firm grip and depress the switch fully.
•The blade should not touch the cutting mate-
rial before you start the motor. Wait until the
blade reaches full speed before starting a cut.
•This tool has no provision to lock the power
switch in the "ON" position, and you must not
attempt to secure it in the "ON" position.
3.Start cutting when the blade reaches full
speed.
4.During cutting, keep your cutting line straight.
Move the wood saw forward at a steady speed.
