When used, the depth guide limits the downward travel of
the blade when cutting dadoes and other non-through cuts.
To use the depth guide:
 Remove the battery pack from the tool.
 Rotate the depth stop outward.
 With the depth control knob touching the depth stop,
adjust the depth control knob by turning the knob until
the desired depth of cut is attained.
 Rotate the depth stop inward for normal through cuts.
NOTE: The depth stop must be pushed in before locking/
unlocking the saw arm.
LOCKING / UNLOCKING THE SAW ARM

When locking and unlocking the saw arm, it is not necessary
to loosen the depth control knob, however the depth stop
must be pushed in.

CUTTING WITH YOUR SLIDING COMPOUND
MITER SAW
WARNING:
When using a work clamp or C-clamp to secure
your workpiece, clamp workpiece on one side of
the blade only. The workpiece must remain free
on one side of the blade to prevent the blade from
binding in workpiece. The workpiece binding the
blade will cause motor stalling and kickback. This
situation could cause an accident resulting in pos-
sible serious personal injury.
WARNING:
NEVER move the workpiece or make adjustment to
any cutting angle while the saw is running and the
blade is rotating. Any slip can result in contact with
the blade causing serious personal injury.
