pieces don’t hang up on inside of lower guard.
When ripping (cutting with the grain) the use of a rip fence is
recommended.
POCKET CUTTING
DISCONNECT TOOL FROM POWER SUPPLY WHEN MAKING
THIS OR ANY OTHER ADJUSTMENT. Adjust saw shoe so blade cuts
at desired depth. Tilt saw forward and rest front of the shoe on material
to be cut. Using the retracting lever, retract blade guard to an open
position. Lower rear of shoe until blade teeth almost touch cutting line.
Now release the blade guard (its contact with the work will keep it in
position to open freely as you start the cut) (Figure 14). Start the motor
and gradually lower the saw until its shoe rests flat on the material to
be cut. Advance saw along the cutting line until cut is completed.
Release trigger and allow blade to stop completely before withdrawing
the blade from the material. When starting each new cut, repeat as
above. Never tie the blade guard in a raised position.
