Hold the base fl at 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 down- ward toward the base.
DANGER! OPERATING THE SAW
See Figures 11 - 13, page 5.
WARNING! To make sawing easier and safer, always maintain proper control of the saw. Loss of control
could cause an accident resulting in possible serious injury.
To make the best possible cut, follow these helpful hints.
Hold the saw fi rmly with both hands.
Avoid placing your hand on the workpiece while making a cut
Support the workpiece so that the cut (kerf) is always to your side.
Support the workpiece near the cut.
Use clamps or other practical ways to secure the workpiece so that the workpiece will not move during the
cut.
Always place the saw on the workpiece that is supported, not the “cut off” piece.
Place the workpiece with the “good” side down.
Draw a guideline along the desired line of cut before beginning your cut.
CROSS CUTTING/RIP CUTTING
See Figure 14, page 5.
When making a straight cross cut or rip cut, align the line of cut with the 00 blade guide notch on the base.
Since blade thicknesses vary, always make a trial cut in scrap material along a guideline to determine how much,
if any, you must offset the guideline to produce an accurate cut.
NOTE: The distance from the line of cut to the guideline is the amount you should offset the guide.
RIP CUTTING
See Figure 15, page 5.
Use a guide when making long or wide rip cuts with the saw.
Secure the workpiece.
Clamp a straight edge to the workpiece using C-clamps.
Saw along the straight edge to achieve a straight rip
NOTE: Do not bind the blade in the cut.
WIDTH OF CUT SCALE
See Figure 16, page 5.
A width of cut scale is located on the base of the saw. When making straight cross cuts or rip cuts, the scale can
be used to measure up to 4-1/2 in. on the right side of the blade, and up to 1 in. on the left side of the blade.
BEVEL CUTTING
See Figures 17 - 18, pages 5 - 6.
Adjust the angle of the cut to any desired setting between zero and 56°. Refer to Adjusting the Bevel Setting next.
If making a 45° bevel cut, align the line of cut with the 45° blade guide notch on the base.
Make a trial cut in scrap material along a guideline to determine how much you should offset the guideline on.
