as blade enters the material, retracting lever must be
released. For all other sawing, the lower guard should
operate automatically.
Tilt the tool forward and rest the front of the base on the
workpiece to be cut. Using the right edge of the notch in the
front of the base and the graduation on the right side of the
base, align the blade with the cutting line on the workpiece.
Grasp the tool firmly with the front grip by your left hand and
the rear handle by your right hand. Switch on the tool and
wait until the blade reaches full speed. Push down the
retracting lever with your thumb to retract the lower guard. As
soon as you start the cut, release the retracting lever. Gradu-
ally lower the tool until its base rests flat on the workpiece to
be cut. Then advance the tool along the cutting line until the
cut is completed. Release the switch trigger and allow the
blade to stop completely before withdrawing the blade from
the workpiece. Never withdraw the blade when it is still rotat-
ing. A dangerous kickback could occur.
MAINTENANCE

Always be sure that the tool is switched off and
unplugged before attempting to perform inspection or
