[. . . ] To lock-on, depress the switch trigger, push in and hold the lock-on button located on the side of the handle, then release switch trigger. If you have the lock-on feature engaged during use and your saw becomes disconnected from power supply, disengage the lock-on feature immediately. Before connecting your saw to power supply source, always check to be sure it is not in lock-on position (depress and release switch trigger). [. . . ] Tilt your saw forward so that it rests on the front edge of the base and blade will not come in contact with the workpiece when the saw is turned on. Start your saw by using high speed and slowly lower the blade into the workpiece until the blade cuts through the wood. Continue lowering the blade into the workpiece until the base rests flat on the work surface, then move the saw forward to complete the cut. If the blade chatters or vibrates excessively, use a ¿nertooth blade or higher speed. If blade teeth become ¿lled or clogged when cutting soft metals, such as aluminum, use a coarser-tooth blade or lower speed. We recommend the use of oil when cutting metals to keep blades cool, increase cutting action, and prolong blade life. Clamp the work ¿rmly and cut close to the clamping point to eliminate any vibration of the workpiece being cut. When cutting conduit, pipe or angle iron, clamp work in a vise if possible and saw close to the vise. To cut thin sheet materials smoothly, "sandwich" the material between hardboard or plywood and clamp the layers to eliminate vibration and material tearing. Lay out your pattern or line of cut on top of the "sandwich". Failure to unplug your saw could result in accidental starting causing possible serious injury. An edge guide is available for use with your saw and can be used for making crosscuts and rip cuts. Failure to unplug your saw could result in accidental starting causing possible serious injury. Insert arm of the edge guide through the two slots in the base of your saw. Adjust edge guide to the desired width and lock in place with the edge guide screw. When cutting metal, keep exposed portion of saw bar clean and free of metal chips by wiping frequently with an oily cloth. Use extreme caution in disposing of oily cloth after completion of job to prevent potential ¿re hazard. With the air jet of the sawdust blower device, the cutting line can be kept free of dust and chips. [. . . ] the declared vibration emission level represents the main applications of the tool. However if the tool is used for different applications, with different accessories or poorly maintained, the vibration emission may differ. This may signiÀcantly increase the exposure level over the total working period. [. . . ]
