side, allow the teeth of the blade to cut the material to the side away enough to
turn the saw.
ADJUSTING THE ANGLE OF CUT
Adjusting the angle of the foot plate allows you to cut at any angle between 0 and
45 degrees to both the left and right.
1. IMPORTANT:
Unplug the saw.
2. Loosen the hex screw under the foot plate and connecting plate using the
hex key.
3. Rotate the foot plate to the desired angle.
4. Tighten the hex screw under the baseplate using the hex key.
To return to a vertical position
1. Loosen the hex screw.
2. Rotate the foot plate back to the vertical position.
3. Tighten the hex screw.
4. Check the angle of the foot plate against the saw blade with a square.
MAINTENANCE
IMPORTANT:
Unplug the tool before maintenance and cleaning.
Keep the tool housing clean, free of oil, and grease using mild soap and a
damp (not wet) cloth. Do not let solvents like brake fluid, gasoline,
petroleum-based products, etc., contact plastic parts of the housing. Many
household cleaners also contain damaging chemicals. Cleaning with any of
these substances can harm the plastic and compromise the integrity of the
double insulating system. Never allow liquid to enter the tool. Do not immerse
any part of the saw in liquid.
Use care to see that the motor winding does not become damaged or wet with
oil or water.
Inspect the mounting screws regularly. They should be properly tightened. If
any are found loose, tighten them immediately or serious injury could result.
Keep the vents clear of dust and debris. A shot of compressed air is useful.
This will help prevent possible electrical shorts and ensure proper cooling.
Avoid overloading your saw. Do not force the tool. It will become hot and lose
efficiency. Running it free of load for a minute or two will allow it to cool itself to
normal temperature.
Inspect the cord regularly and have it replaced by an authorized repair facility if
it is damaged.
Lubrication for this tool is done at the factory and, except for the blade guide
roller, should not be necessary again under normal use. The blade guide roller
will benefit from a drop of oil from time to time.
An authorized repair centre should do any repairs, modification, or mainte-
nance that involve opening or disassembling the saw.
Any damage to the tool should be corrected at an authorized repair centre.
