• Adjusting cutting angle (0-45°) 5
- loosen knob L
- tilt tool until desired cutting angle is set on scale
using indicator M
- tighten knob L
! when bevel cutting, cutting depth does not
correspond with value on cutting depth scale
• 90° Cutting angle check 5
- adjust and tighten foot J to maximum cutting depth 4
- adjust and tighten cutting angle to 0°
- check for 90° angle between the blade and bottom of
foot with a square
• Adjustable saw line visor N 6 a
- for guiding tool along desired line of cut marked on
the workpiece
- for a straight 0° cut or a 45° bevel cut use the
indicator line concerned
! the wide part of the foot should rest on the
supported part of the workpiece
- can be adjusted to allow you to choose whether
waste material is on inner or outer side of blade 6 b
! cutting width is determined by width of blade
teeth and not bywidth of blade body
! always make trial cuts first to verify actual line of
cut
• Dust suction
- connect vacuum cleaner to extension P 7
! never let the vacuum cleaner hose interfere with
the lower guard or the cutting operation
- one may also use a dust bag (SKIL accessory
2610387402)
! do not use dustbag/vacuum cleaner when cutting
metal
• Operating the tool 7
- connect plug to power source
- always hold handle Q fi rmly with one hand and
handle R fi rmly with the other hand
- place tool with front end of foot fl at on workpiece
! ensure that the saw teeth are not engaged into
the workpiece
- switch on tool by fi rst pressing knob S (= safety
switch which cannot be locked) and then pulling
trigger T
! the tool should run at full speed before the blade
enters into the workpiece
- lower guard E opens automatically when saw blade
enters the workpiece (open lower guard manually by
using lever F only for special cuts such as plunge
cuts)
- do not force the tool; apply light and continuous
pressure
- after completing the cut switch off tool by releasing
trigger T
! ensure that the blade has come to a complete
standstill, before you lift the tool from the
workpiece
APPLICATION ADVICE
• Always face the good side of the workpiece down to
ensure minimum splintering
• Only use sharp saw blades of the correct type 8
- quality of cut improves by the number of teeth
- carbide tipped blades stay sharp up to 30 times
longer than ordinary blades
• Rip fence U 9 (available as SKIL accessory
2610397945)
- for making exact cuts along a workpiece edge
- can be inserted in either side of foot
Adjusting rip fence
- loosen
knob V
- adjust to desired cutting width by using rip fence
scale (use saw line visor N as 0-reference)
- tighten knob V
• Plunge cutting 0
- set desired cutting depth
- tilt tool forward with saw line visor N lined up with
desired line of cut marked on the workpiece
- open lower guard E with lever F
- just before blade enters workpiece, switch on tool
and gradually lower back end of tool using front end
of foot as hinge-point
- gradually move tool downward as well as forward
- as soon as blade enters the material, release lever F
! never pull tool backwards
• Cutting large panels !
- support panel close to the cut either on fl oor, table or
workbench
! set cutting depth so that you cut through panel
and not through support
- in case rip fence does not allow desired width of cut,
clamp or nail straight piece of wood to workpiece as
a guide, and use the right side of the foot against this
guide

• Vibration level
The vibration emission level stated at the back of this
instruction manual has been measured in accordance
with a standardised test given in EN 60745; it may be
used to compare one tool with another and as a
preliminary assessment of exposure to vibration when
using the tool for the applications mentioned
- using the tool for different applications, or with
different or poorly maintainted accessories, may
signifi cantly
increase the exposure level
- the times when the tool is switched off or when it is
running but not actually doing the job, may
signifi cantly
reduce the exposure level
! protect yourself against the effects of vibration by
maintaining the tool and its accessories, keeping
your hands warm, and organizing your work
patterns
