along the penciled cutting line so that the kerf falls into the waste or
surplus material. Figure 9 shows the dimensions of the shoe. The right
dimension is 1-1/2” (38 mm).
Adjusting Depth Adjustment Lever
(Fig. 9)
It may be desirable to adjust the Depth Adjustment Lever. (It will
sometimes swing below the bottom of the shoe before tightening or
loosening completely.) To adjust lever, follow the steps below.
1. TURN OFF THE TOOL AND REMOVE THE BATTERY PACK.
2. Using a small screwdriver, pry off the lock ring.
3. Remove the lever and rotate it in the desired direction about 1/8
revolution. (More or less as necessary.)
4. Reinstall the lever and insert the lock ring with concave side against
lever to hold it in place.
Operation
Switch
Release lock-off by pressing button (A) Fig. 10. Pull the trigger switch
to turn the motor ON. Releasing the trigger turns the motor OFF.
Releasing the trigger also automatically actuates lock off button.
NOTE: This tool has no provision to lock the switch in the ON position,
and should never be locked in the ON position by any other means.
Workpiece Support
Figure 11 shows proper sawing position. Note that hands are kept
away from cutting area. When using the AC adapter, be sure the power
cord is positioned clear of the cutting area so that it will not get caught
or hung up on the work.
WARNING: It is important to support the work properly and to hold
the saw firmly to prevent loss of control which could cause personal
injury.
ALWAYS DISCONNECT SAW BEFORE MAKING ANY ADJUST-
MENTS! Place the work with its “good” side – the one on which
appearance is most important – down. The saw cuts upward, so any
splintering will be on the work face that is up when you saw it.
1. IMPROPER WORKPIECE SUPPORT
A. Sagging or improper lifting of the cut off piece causing pinching
of the blade.
B. Cutting through material supported at the outer ends only (see
Figure 12 & 13). As the material weakens it sags, closing down the
