Using it
Clamp the work firmly and mark the cut line. Rest the front of the shoe on the work, start the saw before the blade touches, and let the blade do the cutting without forcing it. Use lower speeds for metal and plastics, and the lock-on switch for long straight cuts.
Safety
Unplug the saw before changing blades. Wear eye protection, keep hands clear of the blade, and check for hidden cables and pipes before cutting into walls or worktops.
