WARNING:

Attempting to make cuts without bevel adjustment knob securely tightened can result in serious injury.

TO POCKET CUT

See Figure 22.

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 your saw possibly causing serious injury.

Adjust the bevel setting to zero, set blade to correct blade depth setting, and swing the lower blade guard up using the lower blade guard handle.

Always raise the lower blade guard with the handle to avoid serious injury.

While holding lower blade guard by the handle, firmly rest the front of the base flat against the workpiece with the rear of the

handle raised so the blade does not touch the workpiece. See Figure 22.

Depress the lock-off button and squeeze the switch trigger to start your saw. Always let the blade reach full speed then slowly lower blade into the workpiece until base is flat against workpiece.

After you complete your cut release the trigger and allow the blade to come to a complete stop. After the blade has stopped, remove it from the workpiece. Corners may then be cleared 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.
