ADJUSTING THE BEVEL SETTING
See Figure 18, page 16.
Loosen the bevel lock knob.
Raise the motor housing end of the saw until you reach
the desired angle setting on the bevel scale.
Tighten the bevel lock knob securely.
WARNING:
Attempting a bevel cut without having the bevel lock knob
securely tightened can result in serious injury.
NOTE:
For bevel cuts 56° and above, move the bevel lock
knob into the notch at the 56° mark on the bevel scale, and
tighten the knob securely.
MAKING A BEVEL CUT
See Figure 18, page 16.
Hold the saw firmly with both hands as shown.
Rest the front edge of the base on the workpiece.
Start the saw and let the blade reach full speed.
Guide the saw into the workpiece and make the cut.
Release the trigger and allow the blade to come to a
complete stop.
Lift the saw from the workpiece.
POCKET CUTTING
See Figure 19, page 16.
WARNING:
Always adjust bevel setting to zero before making a
pocket cut. Attempting a pocket cut at any other setting
can result in loss of control of the saw possibly causing
serious injury.
OPERATION
Adjust the bevel setting to zero.
Set the blade to the correct blade depth setting.
Swing the lower blade guard up using the lower blade
guard handle.
NOTE:
Always raise the lower blade guard with the handle
to avoid serious injury.
Hold the lower blade guard by the handle.
WARNING:
Never extend your fingers while holding the lower blade
guard handle. Extending your fingers may result in con-
tact with the blade, causing serious injury.
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.
Start the saw and let the blade reach full speed.
Guide the saw into the workpiece and make the cut.
WARNING:
Always cut in a forward direction when pocket cutting.
Cutting in the reverse direction could cause the saw to
climb up on the workpiece and back toward you.
Release the trigger and allow the blade to come to a
complete stop.
Lift the saw from the workpiece.
Clear corners out with a hand saw or sabre saw.
WARNING:
Never tie the lower blade guard in a raised position.
Leaving the blade exposed could lead to serious injury.
ADJUSTMENTS
WARNING:
To prevent accidental starting that could cause serious
personal injury, always remove the battery pack from the
product when making adjustments.
0° BEVEL STOP
See Figure 20, page 16.
The saw has a 0° bevel stop that has been factory adjusted to
assure 0° angle of the saw blade plate when making 90° cuts.
CHECKING 0° BEVEL STOP
Remove battery pack.
Place the saw in an upside down position on a workbench.
Check the squareness of the saw blade plate to the base
of the saw using a carpenter’s square.
