OPERATION
■
Since blade thickness varies and different angles
require different settings, always make a trial cut on
scrap material along a guide line to determine
how much you should offset the guide line on the
board to be cut.
■
When making a bevel cut, hold your saw firmly with
both hands as shown in Figure 15.
■
Rest the front edge of the base on the workpiece.
Depress the lock-off button and squeeze the trigger to
start your saw. Always let the blade reach full speed,
then insert your saw into the workpiece.
WARNING
The blade must not come into contact with the
workpiece before it reaches full speed.
Otherwise your saw could kic back towards you
resulting in serious injury.
■
Once you have completed your cut, release the
trigger and allow the blade to come to a complete
stop. After the blade has stopped, lift your saw from
the workpiece.
TO ADJUST BEVEL SETTING
■
Remove battery pack from saw.
WARNING
Failure to remove the battery pack from the saw
could result in accidental starting and cause
serious personal injury.
■
Loosen bevel adjustment knob.
See Figure 14.
■
Raise motor housing end of saw until you reach
desired angle setting on bevel scale.
See Figure 14.
■
Tighten bevel adjustment knob securely.
WARNING
Attempting to do a bevel cut without the knob
securely tightened could result in serious injury.
See Figure 16.
POSITIVE 0° BEVEL STOP
See Figure 16.
Your saw has a positive 0° bevel stop, that has been
factory set to ensure that your saw blade is at 0°
when making 90° cuts. However, misalignment can occur
during shipping.
To Check
■
Remove battery pack from saw.
WARNING
Failure to remove the battery pack from the saw
could result in accidental starting and cause
serious personal injury.
■
Place your saw in upside down position on
workbench.
See Figure 16.
■
Using a carpenter's square, check squareness of saw
blade to the base of your saw.
To Adjust
■
Remove battery pack from saw.
WARNING
Failure to remove the battery pack from the saw
could result in accidental starting and cause
serious personal injury.
■
Loosen bevel adjustment knob.
■
Loosen hex nut securing adjustment screw.
■
Turn screw and adjust base until square with
saw blade.
■
Tighten hex nut and bevel adjustment knob securely.
WARNING
Attempting to make cuts without bevel
adjustment knob securely tightened can result in
serious injury.
TO POCKET CUT
WARNING
Always adjust bevel setting to zero beforemaking
a pocket cut. Attempting a pocket cut at any
other setting can result in loss of control of your
saw possibly causing serious injury.
■
Adjust the bevel setting to zero, set blade to correct
blade depth setting, and swing the lower blade guard
up using the lower blade guard handle.
■
Always raise the lower blade guard with the
handle to avoid serious injury.
■
While holding lower blade guard by the handle,
firmly rest the front of the base flat against the
workpiece with the rear of the handle raised so the
blade does not touch the workpiece.
