2. Carefully guide the saw along the

straight edge for a straight rip cut

(see Fig. 15).

3. ALWAYS LET THE BLADE REACH

FULL SPEED, then carefully guide

the saw into the workpiece. DO NOT

bind the blade in the cut. Push the

saw forward at a speed where the

blade is not laboring.

2.Place the Lock-Off Switch into the center position to lock the power off.

3.Loosen bevel adjustment lever (see Fig.17).

4.Raise the motor housing end of the saw until the bevel pointer reaches the desired angle setting on the bevel scale.

5.Tighten the adjustment lever securely.

INSTALLING AND USING EDGE GUIDE (sold separately) (Fig. 16)

1.Remove the battery pack from saw.

!WARNING: Failure to remove battery pack from saw could result in accidental starting causing possible serious personal injury.

2.Place the Lock-Off Switch into the center position to lock the power off.

3.Position the edge guide so the arm with the inch increments is facing “up”. Slide the arm of the edge guide into the mounting slots at the front of the saw’s base (see Fig. 15).

4.Adjust the edge guide to the desired

length of cut.

5. Tighten the edge guide retaining screw.

6. Clamp and support the workpiece securely before making your cut.

7. Place the edge guide firmly against the edge of the workpiece

(see Fig. 16). Doing this will give you a true cut without pinching the blade.

8. BE SURE that the guiding edge of the

 

workpiece is straight so you can get a

!WARNING: ALWAYS clamp and support workpiece securely. ALWAYS maintain proper control of saw. Failure to clamp and support workpiece and loss of control of saw could result in serious injury.

1.Your saw can be adjusted to cut at any angle between 0° and 50°. When making 45° bevel cuts, there is a notch in the saw base to help you line up the blade with the line of cut (see Fig. 18).

2.Align your line of cut with the left side of the notch by the 45° indicator when making 45° bevel cuts.

3.Since blade thicknesses vary and different angles require different settings, MAKE A TRIAL CUT in scrap material along the guideline to determine how much, if any, you should offset the blade from the guideline to allow for the kerf of the blade to get an accurate cut.

4.When making a bevel cut HOLD the saw FIRMLY with both hands (see Fig. 18).

5.Rest the front edge of the base on the workpiece, then squeeze the trigger switch to start the saw. ALWAYS let the blade reach full speed, then guide the saw into the workpiece.

6.After completing your cut, release the trigger switch and allow the blade to come to a complete stop in the cut. DO NOT remove the saw from the workpiece while the blade is moving. It will damage your bevel cut and cause Kickback.

!WARNING: If the blade comes in contact with the workpiece before it reaches full speed, it could cause the saw to kickback towards you, possibly resulting in serious injury.
