LINE-OF-CUT INDICATOR

Line-of-cut indicator slots (A) Fig. 11 are provided at the front of the saw base. The right slot is used to follow a line when making a 0° cut. The left slot is used to follow a line when making a 45° cut. The straight side of the notch indicates the cut line.

USING SAWDUST EXHAUST NOZZLE A

The sawdust exhaust nozzle in the closed position (Fig. 12) directs the sawdust to the rear of the saw.

The sawdust exhaust nozzle pointing forward (Fig. 13) directs the sawdust to the front. To change the position of the nozzle, push down on the top of the nozzle and turn the nozzle to the new position. An accessory vacuum hose assembly is available for connecting the sawdust exhaust nozzle in the forward position directly to a shop type vacuum cleaner.

DO NOT direct sawdust toward yourself or others. To avoid injury from flying sawdust, keep the exhaust nozzle either in the forward position or in the closed position. DO NOT insert foreign objects into the exhaust opening.
