NOTE: Slight pressure may be needed to move the saw
from 0° to -1°.
 Tighten the bevel lock knobs.
POCKET CUTTING
See Figure 39, page 23.
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.
 Remove the battery pack and riving knife from the saw.
NOTE: Always remove the riving knife when making non-
through cuts and 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.
 If desired, secure the track to the workpiece and place
the saw on the track.
 Install vacuum hose (not included) if desired.
 Reinstall the battery pack.
WARNING:
To prevent accidental starting that could cause serious
personal injury, always remove the battery pack from the
product when making adjustments.
ADJUSTING THE BASE PARALLEL TO THE
TO THE BLADE
See Figures 40 - 41, page 24.
 Remove battery pack.
 Place the saw in an upside down position on a workbench.
 Remove the bolt and washer near the center of the base.
NOTE: The washer is located between the base and the
guard.
 Turn the saw right side up.
 Slide the spring cone away from the bracket in the base.
 Remove the compression spring from the cone.
OPERATION
 Move the saw into position.
 Rest the base flat against the workpiece.
 Start the saw and let the blade reach full speed.
 Slowly lower the blade into the workpiece and make the
first line of cut. If you are cutting along a track, lower the
blade into the workpiece and guide the saw in the forward
direction along the track to the desired length of cut.
NOTE: To reduce the risk of splintering, always make
a score cut before cutting through laminated or veneer
faced plywood or composite materials.
WARNING:
Always cut in a forward direction when pocket cutting.
Cutting in the reverse direction could cause the saw to
climb up on the workpiece and back toward you.
 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.
 Reposition the saw and track (if applicable) and repeat
the above steps for the remaining lines of cut.
 Clear corners out with a hand saw, sabre saw, or chisel.
ADJUSTMENTS
 Slide the compression spring down and away from the
opening in the saw housing.
 Place the plunge depth control lever in the plunge cut
position.
 Lower the blade completely.
 Turn the saw upside down.
 Mark beside one of the blade teeth at the front of the
blade. Using a ruler, measure the distance from the blade
tooth to the edge of the saw base indicated in figure 41.
 Turn the blade so the marked tooth is at the back.
 Move the ruler to the rear and again measure the distance
from the blade tooth to the edge of the saw base. If the
distances are the same, the blade and the base are paral-
lel.
 Reassemble the spring, spring cone, washer and screw.
