BEVEL ADJUSTMENT

Disconnect battery pack from tool. The foot can be adjusted up to 45° by loosening the bevel adjustment knob at the front of the saw. Align to desired angle on calibrated quadrant. Then tighten bevel adjustment knob (Fig. 8). For 50° loosen bevel adjustment knob, depress 45° stop spring (Fig. 9), align foot to 50 mark on quadrant and tighten knob. Because of the increased amount of blade engagement in the work and decreased stability of the foot, blade binding may occur. Keep the saw steady and the foot firmly on the workpiece.

ADJUSTABLE LINE GUIDE

For a straight 90° cut you can use the left or right side of notch in the foot. For 45° bevel cuts, use the right side (Fig 9). The guide can be adjusted to allow for variation in blade thicknesses for whichever side of the blade the user would prefer to cut the line on.

TO ATTACH: Disconnect battery pack from tool. Align hole in adjustable line guide with hole in foot and secure with screw provide.

TO ADJUST: Loosen but don’t remove, the adjustment screw enough so the guide can move freely. Set a straightedge flat on the preferred side of the blade, lining up both the edge of the straightedge and the edge of the guide where the 0° mark is located.

SWITCH

To turn tool “ON”, squeeze the trigger switch. To turn the tool “OFF”, release the trigger switch, which is spring loaded and will return to the off position automatically.

Your saw should be running at full speed BEFORE starting the cut, and turned off only AFTER completing the cut. To increase switch life, do not turn switch on and off while cutting.

BRAKE

When the trigger is released it activates the electrical brake to stop the blade quickly. This feature is especially useful when making repetitive cuts.

GENERAL CUTS

Always hold the saw handle with one hand and the auxiliary handle or housing with the other.

Always make sure saw foot rests on portion of work surface that does not drop off.

Always be sure either hand ! WARNING does not interfere

with the free movement of the lower guard.

Maintain a firm grip and operate the switch with a decisive action. Never force the saw. Use light and continuous pressure.

After completing a cut and the trigger has been released, be aware of the necessary time it

takes for the blade to come to a complete stop during coast down. Do not allow the saw to brush against your leg or side, since the lower guard is retractable, it could catch on your clothing and expose the blade. Be aware of the necessary blade exposures that exist in both the upper and lower guard areas.

When cutting is interrupted, to resume cutting: squeeze the trigger and allow the blade to reach full speed, re-enter the cut slowly and resume cutting.

When cutting across the grain, the fibers of the wood have a tendency to tear and lift. Advancing the saw slowly minimizes this effect. For a finished cut, a cross cut blade or miter blade is recommended.
