A

CAUTION:

*When

cutting

a

workpiece

of

4-3/4"

(120

mm)

height,

adjust

the

lower

limit

position

of

the

motor

head

so

that

the

gap

between

the

lower

edge

of

the

motor

head

and

the

workpiece

will

be

5/64"

to

1/8"

(2

to

3

mm)

at

the

lower

limit

position.

*

If

the

handle

is

pressed

down

with

excessive

or

lateral

force,

the

saw

blade

may

vibrate

during

the

cutting

operation

and

cause

unwanted

cutting

marks

on

the

workpiece,

thus

reducing

the

quality

of

the

cut.

Accordingly,

press

the

handle

down

gently

and

carefully.

*

In

slide

cutting,

gently

push

the

handle

back

(rearwards)

in

a

single,

smooth

operation.

Stopping

the

handle

movement

during

the

cut

will

cause

unwanted

cutting

marks

on

the

workpiece.

WARNING:

*

For

slide

cutting,

follow

the

procedures

indicated

above

in

Fig.

29.

Forward

slide

cutting

(toward

the

operator)

is

very

dangerous

because

the

saw

blade

could

kick

upward

from

the

workpiece.

Therefore,

always

slide

the

handle

away

from

the

operator.
