27. 

Before setting the tool down after completing 
a cut, be sure that the lower guard has closed 
and the blade has come to a complete stop.

held upside down in a vise. This is extremely 
dangerous and can lead to serious accidents.

Some material contains chemicals which may 
be toxic. Take caution to prevent dust 
inhalation and skin contact. Follow material 
supplier safety data. 

30. 

Do not stop the blades by lateral pressure on 
the saw blade. 

31. 

Always use blades recommended in this 
manual. Do not use any abrasive wheels.

Keep blade sharp and clean.

 Gum and wood 

pitch hardened on blades slows saw and 
increases potential for kickback. Keep blade clean 
by first removing it from tool, then cleaning it with 
gum and pitch remover, hot water or kerosene. 
Never use gasoline. 

33. 

Wear a dust mask and hearing protection 
when use the tool. 

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS. 

 

WARNING: 

DO NOT let comfort or familiarity with product 
(gained from repeated use) replace strict adherence 
to safety rules for the subject product. MISUSE or 
failure to follow the safety rules stated in this 
instruction manual may cause serious personal 
injury.

CAUTION: 

• 

Always be sure that the tool is switched off and 
unplugged before adjusting or checking function on 
the tool. 

Adjusting depth of cut 

 

CAUTION: 

• 

After adjusting the depth of cut, always tighten the 
clamping screw securely. 

Loosen the clamping screw on the depth guide and move 
the base up or down. At the desired depth of cut, secure 
the base by tightening the clamping screw. 
For cleaner, safer cuts, set cut depth so that no more 
than one blade tooth projects below workpiece. Using 
proper cut depth helps to reduce potential for dangerous 
KICKBACKS which can cause personal injury.
