Window (Fig. 2)
WARNING: Do not operate the saw with a damaged or
missing sight window. If window is damaged or missing, have
the saw serviced at an authorized service center. If saw is operated
without the window, metal chips could fly through the guard and
cause personal injury.
CAUTION: Do not use oil or cutting fluids with the metal-
cutting saw. Do not use cleaning fluids to clean window.
Cleaning fluids, cutting fluids or oils could harm the plastic in the
window, interfering with the safe operation of the saw.
The saw is equipped with a sight window (J) on the side of the upper
guard. This window allows the user to see a cutting line on the material
to be cut.
Saw Shoe (Fig. 2)
The front of the saw shoe (K) has a kerf indicator (E) that allows the
operator to glide the saw along cutting lines. Aligning the cutting line
with the notch on the front of the shoe and centering it using the
modified V-shaped kerf indicator allows the operator to keep the
blade in line with the cutting line. If the cutting line is visible through
the narrowest part of the kerf indicator, the blade will pass directly over
the cutting line.
Worklight
CAUTION: Do not stare into worklight. Serious eye injury could
result.
The saw is equipped with a worklight that is activated when the trigger
switch is depressed. The light will automatically turn off 20 seconds
after the trigger switch is released. If the trigger switch remains
depressed, the worklight will remain on.
NOTE: The worklight is for lighting the immediate work surface and is
not intended to be used as a flashlight.
OPERATION
WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury, turn unit off and
disconnect it from power source before installing and removing
accessories, before adjusting or when making repairs. An
accidental start-up can cause injury.
