OPERATION
ADJUSTING BLADE DEPTH
See Figure 10.
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.
Unplug the saw.
WARNING:
Failure to unplug the tool could result in accidental starting causing serious injury.
Loosen depth adjustment knob.
Determine the desired depth of cut.
Locate depth of cut scale on back of upper blade guard.
Hold base flat against the workpiece and raise or lower saw until the indicator mark on bracket aligns with notch on blade guard.
Tighten depth adjustment knob securely.
STARTING/STOPPING THE SAW
See Figure 11.
To start the saw: Depress the switch trigger.
Always let the blade reach full speed, then guide the saw into the workpiece.
WARNING:
The blade coming in contact with the workpiece before it reaches full speed could cause the saw to “kickback” towards you resulting 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.
