OPERATION

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.

n Mark the line to be cut on the workpiece.

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

n Plug the tool into a power supply and start the motor.

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.

n Unplug the saw.

ADJUSTING BLADE DEPTH

See Figure 14.

Always keep correct blade depth setting. The correct blade

depth setting for all cuts should not exceed 1/4 in. (6.35 mm) 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.

Follow these directions to adjust the blade depth.

nUnplug the saw.

WARNING:

Failure to unplug the tool could result in accidental start- ing causing serious injury.

nLoosen depth adjustment knob.

nDetermine the desired depth of cut.

n Locate depth of cut scale on back of upper blade guard.

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

nTighten depth adjustment knob securely.
