Inspect the wood before making any cuts. There should be
no nails or foreign objects in the workpiece.
When making a cross cut or rip cut along a track, align the
line of cut with the rubber cut strip on the track.
RIP CUTTING ALONG A TRACK
Remove the battery pack and install the riving knife.
NOTE: Always install the riving knife when making through
cuts (except pocket cuts).
Secure workpiece to a workbench, table or other suitable
support.
Place the plunge depth control lever in the plunge cut
position.
Set the blade to the correct blade depth setting.
Install vacuum hose (not included) if desired.
Place the track on the workpiece and position the rubber
cut strip along your desired line of cut.
Clamp the track to the workpiece as previously described.
Place the saw on the track and make adjustments if
needed.
Reinstall the battery pack.
Slide the saw to the starting end of the track and ensure
the blade is positioned to cut all the workpiece.
Start the saw and let the blade reach full speed.
Carefully lower the blade until it contacts the workpiece.
Guide the saw in a forward direction along the track to
achieve a straight rip cut.
NOTE: Use caution to prevent the blade from binding in
the cut.
NOTE: To reduce the risk of splintering, always make
a score cut before cutting through laminated or veneer
faced plywood or composite materials.
Release the trigger and allow the blade to come to a
complete stop.
Slowly allow the front handle to rise until the blade is
completely inside of the guard and the saw is in the locked
position.
Remove the battery pack from the saw.
RIP CUTTING WITHOUT A TRACK
Remove the battery pack and install the riving knife.
NOTE: Always install the riving knife when making through
cuts (except pocket cuts).
Secure workpiece to a workbench, table or other suitable
support.
Place the plunge depth control lever in the plunge cut
position.
Set the blade to the correct blade depth setting.
OPERATION
Install vacuum hose (not included) if desired.
Clamp a straight edge to the workpiece using C-clamps.
Reinstall the battery pack.
Place the front of the base flat on the workpiece.
Start the saw and let the blade reach full speed.
Carefully lower the blade until it contacts the workpiece.
Saw along the straight edge in a forward direction to
achieve a straight rip cut.
NOTE: Use caution to prevent the blade from binding in
the cut.
NOTE: To reduce the risk of splintering, always make
a score cut before cutting through laminated or veneer
faced plywood or composite materials.
Release the trigger and allow the blade to come to a
complete stop.
Slowly allow the front handle to rise until the blade is
completely inside of the guard and the saw is in the locked
position.
Remove the battery pack from the saw.
BEVEL CUTTING
See Figures 33 - 36, page 23 .
A bevel cut is made by cutting the workpiece with the blade
at an angle.
BEVEL CUTTING ALONG A TRACK
NOTE: Always use the anti-tip feature when bevel cutting
along a track to prevent the saw from tipping or becoming
unbalanced.
Remove the battery pack and install the riving knife.
NOTE: Always install the riving knife when making through
cuts (except pocket cuts).
Secure workpiece to a workbench, table or other suitable
support.
Place the plunge depth control lever in the plunge cut
position.
Set the blade to the correct blade depth setting.
Install vacuum hose (not included) if desired.
Place the track on the workpiece and position the rubber
cut strip along your desired line of cut.
Clamp the track to the workpiece as previously described.
Loosen the anti-tip knob and swing it inwards to extend
the lock plate.
Tighten the anti-tip knob.
Hold the saw at an angle and guide the lock plate under-
neath the lip of the track
Place the rest of the saw on the track and make adjust-
ments if needed.
