5. OPERATION
CAUTION: Never use saw when guard is not operating correctly. Check the guard for correct
operation before each use. The guard is operating correctly when it moves freely and readily returns
to the closed position. If you drop the saw, check the lower blade guard and bumper for damage at
all depth settings before reuse.
STARTING/STOPPING THE SAW
This saw is equipped with a worklight that will turn on when the trigger is depressed and will turn
off when the trigger is released.
To start the saw:
Depress the lock-off button.
Depress the switch trigger.
Always let the blade reach full speed, and 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 start 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.
ADJUSTING BLADE DEPTH
Always keeps correct blade depth setting. The correct blade depth setting for all cuts should not
exceed between 1/4in.(6.35mm) and 2in.(52mm) 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.
Loosen the depth lock lever by lifting it upward away from the base.
Determine the desired depth of cut. Locate the depth of edge guide fence on the back of the upper
blade guard.
Hold the base flat against the workpiece and raise or lower the saw until the indicator mark on
bracket aligns with the notch on the blade guard.
Tighten the depth lock lever securely by pushing it downward toward the base.
OPERATING THE SAW
It is important to learn the correct and incorrect ways for handling the saw.
