4.With the blade just clearing the work piece, start the motor by depressing the lock-off button (5) and squeezing the trigger switch (4).

5.Always let the blade reach full speed (approximately 2 seconds) before you begin to cut into the work piece.

6.Slowly lower the saw into the work piece, using the front of the base resting on the work piece as a hinge point.

WARNING. As soon as the blade starts cutting the material, release the lower blade guard lever.

7.Once the base plate (15) is flat against the work piece, proceed cutting in a forward direction to the end of the cut.

8.After completing your cut, release the trigger switch and allow the blade to come to a complete stop.

Do not remove the saw from the work piece while the blade is moving.

Note. If the corners of your pocket cut are not completely cut through, use a jigsaw or hand saw to finish the corners.

Note. This can be a dangerous cut and is recommended for experienced operators only.

Using the parallel fence

The parallel fence (12) allows you to make parallel cuts in a sheet of wood, all at the same width.

CAUTION. Always ensure that the saw is switched off and unplugged from the power supply before making any adjustments.

1.Loosen the parallel fence locking knob (11) (Fig. L).

2.Slide the parallel fence (12) through the parallel fence slots (24) in the base plate (15) (Fig. M).

3. Adjust the parallel fence to the

required width and secure it inN position with the parallel fence

locking knob (11).

4.Ensure that the parallel fence rests against the wood along its entire length to give a consistent parallel cut (Fig. N).

Using the REDEYE® system

WARNING. Before proceeding to use the REDEYE® laser line system, ensure that the Additional safety rules for laser lights section is read and fully understood.

Always ensure the laser beam is aimed at a sturdy work piece without reflective surfaces. i.e. wood or rough coated surfaces are acceptable. Bright shiny reflective sheet steel or the like is not suitable for laser use as the reflective surface could direct the beam back at the operator.

Only turn laser beam on when tool is on work piece.

1.Mark the line of the cut on the work piece.

2.Adjust the depth of cut and bevel angle as required.

3.Rest the front edge of the base on the work piece.

4.Switch on the laser beam using the laser light on/off button (2) (Fig. O).

5.Align the beam with the line on the work piece (Fig. P).
