Hold the tool firmly with both hand. Set the base plate on
the workpiece to be cut without the blade making any
contact. Then turn the tool on and wait until the blade
attains full speed. Move the tool forward over the
workpiece surface, keeping it flat and advancing
smoothly until the cutting is completed. Keep your
cutting line straight and your speed of advance uniform.
The sight window in the base makes it easy to check the
distance between the front edge of the saw blade and
the workpiece whenever the blade is set to the
maximum depth of cut.
