OPERATION

ADJUSTING BLADE DEPTH

See Figure 12.

Always keep correct blade depth setting. The correct blade depth setting for all cuts should not exceed 1/4 in. below the material being cut. More blade depth will increase the chance of kickback and cause the cut to be rough. For more depth of cut accuracy, a scale is located on the upper blade guard.

nLoosen the depth adjustment knob.

nDetermine the desired depth of cut.

nLocate the depth of cut scale on the back of the upper blade guard.

nHold the base flat against the workpiece and raise or lower the saw until the indicator mark on bracket aligns with the notch on the blade guard.

nTighten the depth adjustment knob securely.

USING THE LASER GUIDE

See Figure 13.

WARNING:

Do not stare into the laser beam or turn the laser on when the tool is not in use. Failure to do so could result in possible serious personal injury.The laser unit comes from the factory already installed and aligned. If the laser becomes misaligned after time refer to the "Adjustments" section.

NOTE: Make a trial cut on a piece of scrap to ensure laser is aligned. Adjusting the laser may be necessary.

n Mark the line to be cut on the workpiece.

n Adjust the depth and angle of the cut as needed. �n Switch on the laser beam.

n Install the battery pack into the tool and start the mo- tor.

NOTE: Do not touch the blade to the workpiece until the saw has reached maximum speed.

n Slowly push the saw forward into the workpiece.

NOTE: Keep the laser beam on the marked line on the workpiece for precision cutting.

n Once the cut is complete, allow the saw to come to a complete stop before turning off the laser.
