cannot be seen. If not, it may accidentally fall out of

the tool, causing injury to you or someone around

you.

•Do not use force when inserting the battery

cartridge. If the cartridge does not slide in easily, it

is not being inserted correctly.

Adjusting depth of cut

CAUTION:

•After adjusting the depth of cut, always tighten the

lever securely.

Loosen the lever on the side of the rear handle and move

the base up or down. At the desired depth of cut, secure

the base by tightening the lever.

For cleaner, safer cuts, set cut depth so that no more

than one blade tooth projects below workpiece. Using

proper cut depth helps to reduce potential for dangerous

KICKBACKS which can cause personal injury.

Bevel cutting

Loosen the lever on the bebel scale plate on the front

base. Set for the desired angle (0° - 50°) by tilting accord-

ingly, then tighten the lever securely. Use the 45° stopper

when you do precise 45° angle cutting. Turn the stopper

counterclockwise fully for bevel cut (0° - 45°) and turn it

clockwise for 0° - 50° bevel cuts.

Sighting

For straight cuts, align the A position on the front of the

base with your cutting line. For 45° bevel cuts, align the B

position with it.

CAUTION:

•Before inserting the battery cartridge into the tool,

always check to see that the switch trigger actuates

properly and returns to the “OFF” position when

released.

the lock-off lever. This can cause switch breakage.

To prevent the switch trigger from being accidentally

pulled, a lock-off lever is provided. To start the tool, press

the lock-off lever and pull the switch trigger. Release the

switch trigger to stop.

WARNING:
