Making a cut
1.Mark the line of cut on the workpiece.
2.Adjust the depth of cut and bevel angle as required.
3.When making 90° cross or rip cuts, align your line of cut with the outer blade guide notch on the base of the saw (Fig. I).

4.When you release the trigger, the machine turns off and the
CAUTION. Allow the blade to come to a complete standstill before setting the saw down.
4.When making 45° bevel cuts, align your line of cut with the inner blade guide notch on the base of the saw.
5.Rest the front edge of the
base on the workpiece (Fig. J).J

9.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. Since blade thickness varies, always make a trial cut in scrap material along the guideline to determine how much, if any, the guideline must be offset to get an accurate cut.
