OPERATION
POCKET CUTTING
See Figure 26.
WARNING: Always adjust bevel setting to zero before making a pocket cut. Attempting a pocket cut at any other setting can result in loss of control of the saw possibly causing serious injury.
Follow these directions to pocket cut:
nAdjust the bevel setting to zero.
nSet the blade to the correct blade depth setting.
nSwing the lower blade guard up using the lower blade guard handle.
NOTE: Always raise the lower blade guard with the handle to avoid serious injury.
nHold the lower blade guard by the handle.
nRest the front of the base flat against the workpiece with the rear of the handle raised so the blade does not touch the workpiece.
nStart the saw and let the blade reach full speed.
nGuide the saw into the workpiece and make the cut.
WARNING: Always cut in a forward direction when pocket cutting. Cutting in the reverse di- rection could cause the saw to climb up on the workpiece and back toward you.
nRelease the trigger and allow the blade to come to a complete stop.
nLift the saw from the workpiece.
nClear corners out with a hand saw or sabre saw.
WARNING: Never tie the lower blade guard in a raised position. Leaving the blade exposed could lead to serious injury.
