Dust port Groove cutting CAUTION: Be sure to move the tool forward in a straight line gently. Forcing or twisting the tool may result in overheating the motor and dangerous kickback, possibly causing severe injury. CAUTION: Never approach any part of your body under the tool base when section cutting, especially at starting. Doing so may cause serious personal injuries. The blade is exposed under the tool base. CAUTION: Use eye protection to avoid injury. CAUTION: For groove cutting operation, always connect the tool to a vacuum cleaner. CAUTION: Hold the tool firmly. The tool is provided with both a front grip and rear handle. Use both to best grasp the tool. If both hands are holding saw, they cannot be cut by the blade. OPERATION CAUTION: Always use a front grip and rear handle and firmly hold the tool by both front grip and rear handle during operations. Guide rail Optional accessory Always use the guide rail for groove cutting operation. Place the tool on the rear end of the guide rail. Turn two adjusting screws on the tool base so that the tool slides smoothly without a clatter. Fig.22 1 ► 1 . Adjusting screws Fig.23 1. Adjust the depth of cut. 2. Set the tool on the guide rail. 3. Align the guide rail along the cutting line with using the guide plate. Make sure that the blade does not make any contact with workpiece. 4. Push in the lock-off button and turn the tool on, and wait until the blade attains full speed. 5. Press down the tool slowly to the preset depth of cut, and simply move the tool forward over the workpiece surface, keeping it flat and advancing smoothly until the cutting is completed. 6. When cutting is complete, release switch, wait for blade to stop and then withdraw tool. To get clean cuts, keep your cutting line straight and your 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 blade and lead to dangerous kickback and possible serious injury. 10 ENGLISH
