STARTING/STOPPING the SAW, Depth of CUT Adjustment

OPERATION

LOCK-OFF BUTTON

See Figure 14

The lock-off button reduces the possibility of accidental starting. The lock-off button is located on the handle above the switch trigger. The lock-off button must be depressed before you pull the switch trigger.

NOTE: You can depress the lock-off button from either the left or right side.

STARTING/STOPPING THE SAW

See Figure 14

To start the saw:

Depress the lock-off button.

Depress the switch trigger.

Always let the blade reach full speed, then guide the saw into the workpiece.

WARNING:

If the blade comes in contact with the workpiece before it reaches full speed, it could cause the saw to “kickback” towards you, which could result in serious injury.

To stop the saw, release the switch trigger.

After you release the switch trigger, allow the blade to come to a complete stop. Do not remove the saw from the

workpiece while the blade is moving.

DEPTH OF CUT ADJUSTMENT

See Figure 15.

Always keep correct blade depth setting. The correct blade depth setting for all cuts should not exceed 1/4 in. below the material to be cut. More blade depth will increase the chance of kickback and cause the cut to be rough. One blade tooth below the material to be cut works best for most efficient cutting action.

TO ADJUST BLADE DEPTH

Remove the battery pack from saw.

Loosen the depth adjustment lever.

Hold the base flat against the workpiece and raise or lower the saw until the required depth is reached.

Tighten the depth adjustment lever securely.

INDEXABLE LEVERS

See Figure 16.

The levers on the saw can be repositioned for the best tightening position.

Pull the lever out from the saw and to desired position.

Push lever back in and down to lock into place.

Check to be sure the base is clamped securely.
