To set the rip fence scale indicator to the blade
Beginning with the blade at a 0° angle (straight
up), use the following steps to set the rip fence
scale indicator to the blade:
• Unplug the saw.
• Loosen the rip fence by depressing the trig-
ger lock and lifting the locking handle.
• Using a framing square, set the rip fence 2 in.
from the blade tip edge.
• Loosen the screw for the scale indicator and
align with the 2 in. mark as shown.
• Retighten the screw.

To use the miter gauge
The miter gauge provides greater accuracy in
angled cuts. For very close tolerances, test cuts
are recommended.
There are two miter gauge channels, one on
either side of the blade. When making a 90°
cross cut, you can use either miter gauge chan-
nel. When making a beveled cross cut (the
blade tilted in relation to the table) the miter
gauge should be located in the slot on the
right so that the blade is tilted away from the
miter gauge and your hands.
The miter gauge can be turned 60° to the right
or left.
• Loosen the lock knob.
• With the miter gauge in the miter gauge
slot, rotate the gauge until the desired angle
is reached on the scale.
• Retighten the lock knob.

Making cuts
The blade provided with the saw is a high-
quality combination blade suitable for ripping
and cross cut operations. Carefully check all
setups and rotate the blade one full revolution
to assure proper clearance before connecting
to a power source.
WARNING: Do not use blades rated less
than the speed of this tool. Failure to heed this
warning could result in personal injury.
Use the miter gauge when making cross, miter,
bevel, and compound miter cuts. To secure the
angle, lock the miter gauge in place by twist-
ing the lock knob clockwise. Always tighten
the lock knob securely in place before use.
NOTE: It is recommended that you place the
piece to be saved on the left side of the blade
and that you make a test cut on scrap wood
first.
WARNING: Using the rip fence as a cutoff
gauge when cross cutting will result in kick-
back which can cause serious personal injury.
Never use the rip fence for any purpose when
cross cutting.
WARNING: Make sure the blade guard as-
sembly is installed and working properly to
avoid serious personal injury.
• Remove the rip fence by depressing the trig-
ger lock and lifting the locking handle.
• Turn the blade adjusting handle until the
blade is set to the correct depth for the work-
piece.
• Set the miter gauge to 0° and tighten the
lock knob.
• Place a support (the same height as saw ta-
ble) behind the saw for the cut work.
• Make sure the wood is clear of the blade be-
fore turning on the saw.
