See Figure 21.
Your saw has a positive 0

90
°
cuts. However, misalignment can occur during shipping.
TO CHECK
■
Remove battery pack from saw.
WARNING:
Failure to remove battery pack from saw could result in
accidental starting causing possible serious personal
injury.
■
Place your saw in an upside down position on workbench.
See Figure 21.
■
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 battery pack from saw could result in
accidental starting causing possible 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
See Figure 22.
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 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.
See Figure 22.
Depress the lock-off button and squeeze the switch trigger to
start your saw. Always let the blade reach full speed then
slowly lower blade into the workpiece until base is flat
against workpiece.
After you complete your cut release the trigger and allow the
blade to come to a complete stop. After the blade has stopped,
remove it from the workpiece. Corners may then be cleared 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.
