TELESCOPING GUARD

The telescoping guard (C) Fig. 9 is a safety device important for your protection. Every time you use the saw, make sure that the telescoping guard rotates freely and returns quickly and completely to its closed position. Before each use, remove any accumulated chips, or shavings from the area around the hub (B) Fig. 9 of the telescoping guard. (Refer to

“REMOVING DEBRIS”). DO NOT LUBRICATE THIS AREA. The hub has a dry film lubricated surface that does not need oiling. NEVER block or wedge the telescoping guard in the open position.

NEVER use your saw if the telescoping guard is not in working order. If telescoping guard movement is sluggish or if binding exists, return the saw to your nearest AUTHORIZED PORTER-CABLE SERVICE STATION or PORTER-CABLE SERVICE CENTER for repair.

TO ADJUST DEPTH OF CUT

Adjust the depth of cut so that the saw blade protrudes through the thickness of workpiece. To adjust the depth of cut:

DISCONNECT TOOL FROM POWER SOURCE.

1.Lift the depth-adjusting locking lever (A) Fig. 10 at the rear of the saw.

2.Raise or lower the saw housing until the blade extends the desired depth below the base.

3.Press the depth-adjusting locking lever down firmly, locking the saw in the selected position.

Do not cut material thicker than 1/4".

HOW TO USE THE TOOL

Effective control of this powerful saw requires two-handedoperation for maximum protection.

Do not use this tool continuously over 30 minutes.

Support the work properly and to hold the saw firmly WITH BOTH HANDS to prevent loss of control which could cause personal injury. See Fig. 11 for proper hand support of the saw.

Protect your eyes from injury with safety glasses or goggles. (See Rule 7 under “PERSONAL SAFETY).

Do not use cutting fluids or lubricants on the blade.
