Cutting operation
CAUTION: Wear dust mask when performing
cutting operation.
CAUTION: Be sure to move the tool forward
in a straight line gently. Forcing or twisting the tool
will result in overheating the motor and dangerous
kickback,possiblycausingsevereinjury.
NOTE:Whenthebatterycartridgetemperatureis
low,thetoolmaynotworktoitsfullcapacity.Atthis
time,forexample,usethetoolforalight-dutycutfor
awhileuntilthebatterycartridgewarmsupashigh
as room temperature. Then, the tool can work to its
fullcapacity.

grip and rear handle. Use both to best grasp the tool.
Ifbothhandsareholdingsaw,theycannotbecutby
the circular saw blade. Set the base on the workpiece
tobecutwithoutthecircularsawblademakingany
contact. Then turn the tool on and wait until the circular
sawbladeattainsfullspeed.Nowsimplymovethetool
forwardovertheworkpiecesurface,keepingitatand
advancingsmoothlyuntilthesawingiscompleted.

speedofadvanceuniform.Ifthecutfailstoproperlyfollowyour
intended cut line, do not attempt to turn or force the tool back
tothecutline.Doingsomaybindthecircularsawbladeand
leadtodangerouskickbackandpossibleseriousinjury.Release
switch, wait for circular saw blade to stop and then withdraw tool.
Realign tool on new cut line, and start cut again. Attempt to avoid
positioning which exposes operator to chips and wood dust being
