Please refer to the table below to determine the correct size replacement blade for
your model saw. Only use 6 1/2” (165 mm) saw blades with 5/8” (15.9 mm) arbour holes.
Speed rating must be at least 5000 RPM.
DIAMETER TOOTH USE:
6 1/2" (165 mm) 18 General purpose cutting
6 1/2" (165 mm) 24 Smooth wood cutting
CUTTING DEPTH ADJUSTMENT
• Remove battery pack.
• To adjust the depth of the cut, hold the saw by the handle
and loosen the depth adjusting lever by pushing it up
toward the motor housing (Fig. K).
• Raise or lower the shoe to the desired position. Markings in
1/4” (6 mm) increments are located on the inner side of the
upper guard for depth setting. For the proper depth setting,
the blade should extend no more than 1/8 to 1/4” (3 to 6
mm) below the material being cut (Fig.L).
• Pull the depth adjusting lever down towards the shoe to
secure the shoe position (Fig. M).
BEVEL ANGLE ADJUSTMENT
• Remove battery pack.
• The full range of the bevel adjustment is from 0° to 50°. To
adjust the angle of the cut, hold the saw by the handle and

WARNING!
To minimize the risk of eye injury, always use eye
protection. Carbide is a hard but brittle material. Foreign
objects in the workpiece such as wire or nails can cause
tips to crack or break.
loosen the bevel adjusting knob (Fig. N).
• Hold the front of the shoe and rotate the saw by the handle
to the desired angle as indicated by the markings on the
bevel scale.
• Tighten the bevel adjusting knob securely.
ADJUSTING THE BLADE TO SHOE
The shoe has been adjusted at the factory to a 90° setting.
Inspect the saw regularly to make sure the blade is 90° to the
shoe.
• Remove battery pack.
• Set the bevel pointer to zero.
• To make sure the blade is 90° to the shoe, place saw on the
blade side and retract lower guard. Place a square against
the blade and shoe to inspect the degree setting (Fig. O).
• To adjust the degree setting, loosen the bevel adjusting
knob. Turn the bevel adjustment screw in or out until the
blade is at a 90° angle with the shoe.
• Tighten the bevel adjusting knob securely.
KERF INDICATOR
The front of the saw shoe has a kerf indicator for vertical and
bevel cutting. This indicator enables you to guide the saw
along cutting lines penciled on the material being cut. For
straight cuts, align the A position on the front of the base with
your cutting line. For 45° bevel cuts, align the B position with it
(Fig. P).
0° CUTTING SUPPORT
When you are doing cutting work, deformation may be
happened on the base of the saw because of the overexertion.
The 0° cutting support can avoid the deformation and make
the cutting result better (Fig. Q).
GENERAL OPERATION
Always clamp the workpiece securely on a saw horse or bench.
• Draw a cutting line. Place the front of the shoe on the edge
of the workpiece without making blade contact. Hold the
handle with one hand and the front handle with the other
(Fig. R).
