OPERATIONS, CONT’D
Guide Notches
The saw is provided with two guide notch- es for either 45° or 90° cuts. These are located on the leading edge of the saw base. The notches are used for following a line through a cut. It should be noted that these are provided for one blade thickness. Blades without carbide teeth or with car- bide teeth that are thinner or thicker may render the guide notches inaccurate.
Setting the Blade Angle
1.Loosen the black angle locking knobs located at the leading and trailing edge of the saw base.
2.Rotate the saw base until the index pointer is at the desired angle and tighten knobs.
3.For best results always check the blade angle with a protractor or angle guide before making a cut. Make a test cut into scrap lumber and check the angle of the cut. Readjust as nec- essary.
Avoid kickback hazards! If saw motor stalls during cut release the trigger immediately. Determine the cause of the problem and rectify before contin- uing cut.
Operating the Saw
1.Ensure the blade is secure.
2.Grasp the hand grip with one hand. Use the hand you would use most often: if you are right handed use the right.
3.Grasp the stabilizing hand grip with the other hand.
4.Place the leading edge of the saw on the edge of the board to be cut. Align the guide notch to a reference line or the edge guide to the end of the board.
5.Ensure the blade will not contact the board during start up by pulling saw away from the edge of the board.
6.Pull the trigger to activate the saw.
7.Slowly feed saw through the cut.
8.Let go of the trigger when finished with the cut.
Like all power tools, there is danger associated with the Model G9906. Accidents are frequently caused by lack of familiarity or failure to pay attention. Use this tool with respect and caution to lessen the possibility of operator injury. If normal safety pre- cautions are overlooked or ignored, serious personal injury may occur.
