to allow the blade assembly to slide freely.

3.Blow any sawdust or debris away from the Fence. Place the work material against the Fence.

4.Make any necessary miter or bevel adjustments.

5.Turn the Laser guide on, using the switch on the side of the laser battery housing.

6.Align the marked location of the cut on the work material with the saw blade. Be aware that the Saw Blade will remove material from the cut equal to the width of the blade. This is the “kerf”. To prevent your work piece from being cut too short, align the edge of the blade with your measured mark, keeping the kerf on the waste side of the cut.

7.Hold the work material in place using the Hold Down Vise. Ensure that the work material is level and supported securely, using saw horses or supports if necessary.

8.Grip the Saw Handle, press the

Trigger Lock Button and squeeze the

Trigger to start the Blade turning.

9.Pressing down lightly, move the Blade smoothly across the work material to cut it. With narrow material, you can press straight down “chopping” the material. With wider material you must move the Blade across the material to cut it. Do not bear down on the material, use light downward pressure. If the material binds the blade, release the trigger. Keep your hands away from the Blade.

10.When the cut is completed, raise the blade assembly, wait for the Blade to stop turning, release the Hold Down Vise and remove the work material from the saw.

11.The laser guide will not turn off automatically. Turn the laser guide off using the switch on the side of the laser battery housing. This is important to prevent accidental eye exposure to the laser beam.
