3.
Cutting Operation
(1) As shown in Fig. 25 the width of the saw blade is the
width of the cut. Therefore, slide the workpiece to the
right (viewed from the operator’s position) when length
b
is desired, or to the left when length
a
is desired.
(Only Model C8FSHE)
If a laser marker is used, align the laser line with the left
side of the saw blade, and then align the ink line with
the laser line.
(2)
Once the saw blade reaches maximum speed, push the
handle down carefully until the saw blade approaches
the workpiece.
(3) Once the saw blade contacts the workpiece, push the
handle down gradually to cut into the workpiece.
(4) After cutting the workpiece to the desired depth, turn
the power tool OFF and let the saw blade stop completely
before raising the handle from the workpiece to return
it to the full retract position.
CAUTION:
* Increased pressure on the handle will not increase the cutting speed.
On the contrary, too much pressure may result in overload of the motor and/or
decreased cutting efficiency.
WARNING:
* Confirm that the trigger switch is turned OFF and the power plug has been removed
from the receptacle whenever the tool is not in use.
* Always turn the power off and let the saw blade stop completely before raising the
handle from the workpiece.
If the handle is raised while the saw blade is still rotating, the cut-off piece may
become jammed against the saw blade causing fragments to scatter about
dangerously.
* Every time one cutting or deep-cutting operation is finished, turn the switch off,
and check that the saw blade has stopped. Then raise the handle, and return it to
the full retract position.
* Be absolutely sure to remove the cut material from the top of the turntable, and
then proceed to the next step.
*Continued cutting operation can result in overload of the motor. Touch the motor
and if it's hot, stop your cutting operation once and rest for 10 minutes or so, and
then restart your cutting operation.
