OPERATION
STARTING/STOPPING THE SAW
See Figure 11.
To start the saw: Depress the switch trigger.
Always let the blade reach full speed, then guide the saw into the workpiece.
WARNING:
The blade coming in contact with the workpiece before it reaches full speed could cause the saw to “kickback” towards you resulting in serious injury.
To stop the saw: Release the switch trigger.
After you release the switch trigger, allow the blade to come to a complete stop. DO NOT remove the saw from
the workpiece while the blade is moving.
WARNING:
Failure to unplug the tool could result in accidental start- ing causing serious injury.
ADJUSTING BLADE DEPTH
See Figure 12.
Always keep correct blade depth setting. The correct blade
depth setting for all cuts should not exceed 1/4 in. below the material being cut. More blade depth will increase the chance of kickback and cause the cut to be rough. For more depth of cut accuracy, a scale is located on the upper blade
guard.
To adjust the blade depth:
nUnplug the saw.
nLoosen depth adjustment knob.
nDetermine the desired depth of cut.
nLocate depth of cut scale on back of upper blade guard.
nHold base flat against the workpiece and raise or lower saw until the indicator mark on bracket aligns with notch on blade guard.
nTighten depth adjustment knob securely.
