INSTALLING DUST NOZZLE KIT
See Figure 6, page 18.
The adaptor fits over the dust chute which is located on
the upper blade guard. The nozzle attaches to the adaptor.
NOTE: If you use the nozzle, you should always connect it
to a standard vacuum hose.
To attach dust nozzle:
 Unplug the saw.
WARNING:
Do not allow familiarity with this product to make you
careless. Remember that a careless fraction of a second is
sufficient to inflict serious injury.
WARNING:
Always wear eye protection with side shields marked to
comply with ANSI Z87.1. Failure to do so could result in
objects being thrown into your eyes resulting in possible
serious injury.
APPLICATIONS
You may use this product for the purposes listed below:
 Cutting all types of wood products (lumber, plywood,
paneling, composition board, and hard board)
 Cross cutting/rip cutting
 Bevel cutting
 Pocket cutting
NOTE: The use of abrasive cut-off wheels is not recom-
mended for this saw.
KICKBACK
See Figures 7 - 10, page 18.
Kickback occurs when the blade stalls rapidly and the saw
is driven back towards you. Blade stalling is caused by any
action which pinches the blade in the wood.
DANGER:
Release switch immediately if blade binds or saw stalls.
Kickback could cause you to lose control of the saw. Loss
of control can lead to serious injury.
ASSEMBLY
 Lift lower blade guard.
 Orient adaptor to fit into the dust chute opening on upper
blade guard.
 Secure adaptor with screw provided.
 Align hole in nozzle with raised lip on adaptor and snap
into place when using a vacuum hose.

OPERATION

To guard against kickback, avoid dangerous practices such
as the following:
 Setting blade depth incorrectly
 Sawing into knots or nails in workpiece
 Twisting the blade while making a cut
 Making a cut with a dull, gummed up, or improperly set
blade
 Supporting the workpiece incorrectly
 Forcing a cut
 Cutting warped or wet lumber
 Operating the tool incorrectly or misusing the tool
To lessen the chance of kickback, follow these safety
practices:
 Keep the blade at the correct depth setting. Less than a
full tooth of the blade teeth should be visible below the
workpiece.
 Inspect the workpiece for knots or nails before cutting.
Never saw into a knot or nail.
 Make straight cuts. Always use a straight edge guide
when rip cutting. This helps prevent twisting the blade.
 Use clean, sharp, and properly set blades. Never make
cuts with dull blades.
 Support the workpiece properly before beginning a cut.
 Use steady, even pressure when making a cut. Never
force a cut.
 Do not cut warped or wet lumber.
 Hold the saw firmly with both hands and keep your body
in a balanced position so as to resist the forces if kickback
should occur.
WARNING:
When using the saw, always stay alert and exercise con-
trol. Do not remove the saw from the workpiece while the
blade is moving.
