OPERATION

 Always place the saw on the workpiece that is supported,

not the “cut off” piece.

 Place the workpiece with the “good” side down.

 Draw a guideline along the desired line of cut before

beginning your cut.

CROSS CUTTING/RIP CUTTING

See Figure 15, page 16.

When making a cross cut or rip cut, align the line of cut with

the outer blade guide notch on the base.

Since blade thicknesses vary, always make a trial cut in scrap

material along a guideline to determine how much, if any,

you must offset the guideline to produce an accurate cut.

NOTE: The distance from the line of cut to the guideline is

the amount you should offset the guide.

RIP CUTTING

See Figure 16, page 16.

Use a guide when making long or wide rip cuts with the saw.

 Secure the workpiece.

 Clamp a straight edge to the workpiece using

C-clamps.

 Saw along the straight edge to achieve a straight rip cut.

NOTE: Do not bind the blade in the cut.

WIDTH OF CUT SCALE

See Figure 17, page 16

A width of cut scale has been provided on the base of the

saw. When making straight cross cuts or rip cuts, the scale

can be used to measure up to 4 in. on the right side of the

blade, and up to 1 in. on the left side of the blade.

BEVEL CUTTING

See Figures 18 -19, page 16.

 Align the line of cut with the inner blade guide notch on

the base when making 45° bevel cuts.

 Make a trial cut in scrap material along a guideline to

determine how much you should offset the guideline on

the cutting material.

 Adjust the angle of the cut to any desired setting between

zero and 50°. Refer to Adjusting the Bevel Setting next.

ADJUSTING THE BEVEL SETTING

See Figure 18, page 16.

 Loosen the bevel adjustment knob.

 Raise the motor housing end of the saw until you reach

the desired angle setting on the bevel scale.

 Tighten the bevel adjustment knob securely.

WARNING:

Attempting a bevel cut without having the bevel adjust-

ment knob securely tightened can result in serious injury.

MAKING A BEVEL CUT

See Figure 19, 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 20, 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.

 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 can result in

contact 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.
