Cutting

Warning: this tool can cause serious injury if not used properly. Read this entire manual before using. Verify that saw blade is securely tightened and both angle and height adjustment knobs are tight.

1.Secure rip fence or straight edge to the material to guide the saw on a straight path.

2.Place the saw base (#50) on material to be cut. Align the front notch (right edge aligns with saw blade) on the cut line.

3.Pull the rear lock switch (safe button #45) back with the middle finger and squeeze the switch button (#47) with the index finger. Do this before the saw blade touches the material.

4.With the saw at full speed, move the saw slowly forward to complete the cut.

5.When the cut in complete, release the power switch button (#47). Do not set the saw down until the blade stops turning.

Maintenance

1.Before remounting the saw blade, remove all sawdust that has accumulated around the guard (#9), nut bolt (#1), and washer (#2).

2.Regularly inspect all mounting screws and knobs to ensure that they are properly tightened.

3.Keep saw blades clean and sharp. Sharp blades minimize stalling and kickback.

4.Keep guards in good working order.

5.Keep motor air vent clean of dust and debris. Vacuum periodically.

6.If the tool is not operating normally, making unusual noises, or appears defective, stop using it immediately and get it repaired.

7.Clean tool with a damp cloth and light detergent. Do not use solvents as they can damage and crack the plastic parts.
