OPERATION
WARNING:
Attempting bevel cut without lever securely tightened can result in serious injury.
0° BEVEL STOP
See Figure 25.
The saw has a 0° bevel stop that has been factory adjusted to assure 0° angle of the saw blade when making 90° cuts.
To check:
Remove the battery pack from the saw.
Place the saw in an upside down position on a workbench.
Using a carpenter’s square, check the squareness of the saw blade plate to the base of the saw.
TO ADJUST 0° BEVEL STOP
Remove the battery pack from the saw.
Loosen the bevel adjustment knob.
Place the saw in an upside down position on a workbench.
Turn the screw and adjust the base until it is square with the saw blade plate.
WARNING:
Attempting to make cuts without the bevel adjustment knob securely tightened can result in serious injury.
POCKET CUTTING
See Figure 26.
WARNING:
Always adjust bevel setting to zero before making a pocket cut. Attempting a pocket cut at any other setting can result in loss of control of the saw, possibly causing serious injury.
Adjust the bevel setting to zero, set the blade to the correct blade depth setting, and swing the lower blade guard up using the lower blade guard handle.
Always raise the lower blade guard with the handle to avoid serious injury.
While holding the lower blade guard by the handle, firmly rest the front of the base flat against the workpiece with the rear of the handle raised so the blade does not touch the workpiece.

After you complete your cut release the trigger and allow the blade to come to a complete stop. After the blade has stopped, remove it from the workpiece. Corners may then
be cleared out with a hand saw or sabre saw.
WARNING:
Never tie the lower blade guard in a raised position. Leaving the blade exposed could lead to serious injury.
