Ensure Straight Edge
Guide does not interfere
with the free movement of the lower guard
and saw blade. Straight Edge Guide contact-
ing lower guard or saw blade can cause prop-
erty damage and serious personal injury.
For longer straight cuts 5” or greater in width,
it is recommended to use a rip board guide.
Clamp or nail a straight edge piece of 1” lum-
ber or angle iron to the sheet as a guide. Use
the left side of the foot against the board as a
guide. (Fig 10)
Ensure the clamps do
not interfere with the
free movement of the saw.
CUTTING ANGLED MATERIALS
When cutting angle materials, such as angle
iron, U-channel materials, etc., tilt the tool
back to avoid having the lower guard rest
on the angle. Cut through the thinnest mate-
ial section; adjusting the cutting angle of the
blade to do so. (Fig 11)

Your saw is equipped with Electronic Motor
Protection (EMP), which shuts the tool off un-
der overload conditions that could damage
the tool. This feature can be reset by simply
releasing the trigger and re-engaging the trig-
ger again to restart the tool.
Your tool’s 18-volt Lithium-ion battery is also
equipped with Electronic Cell Protection
(ECP), which allows the tool’s electronics to
shut off the tool in the event the internal bat-
tery temperature exceeds designed operating
temperatures that could damage the battery.
This feature can be reset by releasing the bat-
tery from the tool and reinserting it. This will
reset the electronics. NOTE: If the tempera-
ture of the battery remains too high, the elec-
tronics will again disable the tool. Also, if too
hot, the battery will also not charge.
