MAKING A POCKET CUT
1. Adjust the depth of cut as required.
2. Adjust the bevel setting to 0°.
3. Raise the lower blade guard lever (13) to expose the saw blade, firmly rest
the front of the base flat against the work piece with the rear handle raised
so the blade does not touch the work piece.
4. With the blade just clearing the work piece, start the motor by depressing
the lock-off button (5) and squeezing the trigger switch (4).
5. Always let the blade reach full speed (approximately 2 seconds) before you
begin to cut into the work piece.
6. Slowly lower the saw into the work piece, using the front of the base resting
on the work piece as a hinge point.
WARNING. As soon as the blade starts cutting the material, release the
lower blade guard lever.
7. Once the base plate (15) is flat against the work piece, proceed cutting in a
forward direction to the end of the cut.
8. After completing your cut, release the trigger switch and allow the blade to
come to a complete stop. Do not remove the saw from the work piece while
the blade is moving.
NOTE. If the corners of your pocket cut are not completely cut through, use
a jigsaw or hand saw to finish the corners.
USING THE PARALLEL FENCE
The parallel fence (12) allows you to make parallel cuts in a sheet of wood,
all at the same width.
CAUTION. Always ensure that the saw is switched off and unplugged from
the power supply before making any adjustments.
1. Loosen the parallel fence locking knob (11).
2. Slide the parallel fence (12) through the slots in the base plate (15).
3. Adjust the parallel fence to the required width and secure it in position with
the parallel fence locking knob (11).
4. Ensure that the parallel fence rests against the wood along its entire length
to give a consistent parallel cut.
USING THE LASER LINE
WARNINGS. Do not stare directly at the laser beam.
Never aim the beam at any person or an object other than the work piece.
Do not deliberately aim the beam at personnel and ensure that it is not
directed towards the eye of a person for longer than 0.25s.
Always ensure the laser beam is aimed at a sturdy work piece without
reflective surfaces. i.e. wood or rough coated surfaces are acceptable.
Bright shiny reflective sheet steel or the like is not suitable for laser use as
the reflective surface could direct the beam back at the operator.
Only turn laser beam on when tool is on work piece.
1. Mark the line of the cut on the work piece.
2. Adjust the depth of cut and bevel angle as required.
3. Rest the front edge of the base on the work piece.
4. Switch on the laser beam using the laser light on/off button (2).

5. Align the beam with the line on the work piece.
6. Start the motor by depressing the lock-off button (5) and
squeezing the trigger switch (4).
7. Always let the blade reach full speed (approximately 2
seconds) before you begin to cut into the work piece.
8. Slowly push the saw forward using both hands, keeping
the red laser light beam on the line of cut.
9. After completing your cut, release the trigger switch and allow the blade to
come to a complete stop. Do not remove the saw from the work piece while
the blade is moving.
10. Switch off the laser beam on completion of the cut.
CHANGING THE BLADE
CAUTION. Always ensure that the saw is switched off and unplugged from
the power supply before making any adjustments.
1. Remove the blade wrench (23) from the blade wrench storage area (22).
2. Place saw on its side on a flat surface.
3. Rotate the saw blade by hand while depressing the spindle lock button (20)
until the blade locks.
4. While depressing the spindle lock button, turn the blade bolt anti-clockwise
using the wrench provided.
5. Remove the outer blade flange and the blade bolt.
6. Raise the lower blade guard (14) using the blade guard lever (13).
7. Remove the saw blade from the inner flange and pull it out.
8. Clean the saw blade flanges thoroughly before mounting the new saw
blade. Wipe a drop of oil onto the inner and outer flange where they will
touch the blade.
9. Mount the new saw blade onto the spindle and against the inner flange.
10. Replace the outer flange and tighten the blade bolt.
WARNING. The direction in which the blade rotates has to be the same as
the direction of the arrow marked on the housing.
11. Ensure that the spindle lock button (20) is released.
12. Before using the saw again, check that the safety devices are in good
working order.
IMPORTANT. After replacing the saw blade, make sure that the saw blade
runs freely by turning the blade by hand.
13. Plug the tool into a power socket and run it under no load to check that it
runs smoothly before using it to cut any material.
14. Place the blade wrench (23) back in the blade wrench storage area (22).
