The tool is provided with both a frontgrip and rear handle. Use both to best grasp the tool. Ifboth hands are holding saw, they cannot be cut by theblade. Set the base on the workpiece to be cut without theblade making any contact. Then turn the tool on and waituntil the blade attains full speed. Now simply move thetool forward over the workpiece surface, keeping it flatand advancing smoothly until the sawing is completed.To get clean cuts, keep your sawing line straight and yourspeed of advance uniform. If the cut fails to properly followyour intended cut line, do not attempt to turn or force thetool back to the cut line. Doing so may bind the blade andlead to dangerous kickback and possible serious injury.Release switch, wait for blade to stop and then withdrawtool. Realign tool on new cut line, and start cut again.Attempt to avoid positioning which exposes operator tochips and wood dust being ejected from saw. Use eyeprotection to help avoid injury.Rip fence (Guide rule) (optionalaccessory) (Fig. 27)The handy rip fence allows you to do extra-accuratestraight cuts. Simply slide the rip fence up snugly againstthe side of the workpiece and secure it in position with theclamping screw on the front of the base. It also makesrepeated cuts of uniform width possible.MAINTENANCECAUTION:• Always be sure that the tool is switched off and thebattery cartridge is removed before carrying out anywork on the tool.• Clean out the upper and lower guards to ensurethere is no accumulated sawdust which mayimpede the operation of the lower guardingsystem.
