OPERATION
CROSS CUTTING
See Figure 14, page 18.
When making a cross cut, align the line of cut with the full
length kerf indicator on the base.
Since blade thicknesses vary, always make a trial cut in scrap
material along a guideline to determine how much, if any, you
must offset the guideline to produce an accurate cut.
NOTE: The distance from the line of cut to the guideline is
the amount you should offset the guide.
BEVEL CUTTING
The base of the saw may be adjusted for bevel cuts up to
51.5°.
WARNING:
The tool should never be connected to a power
supply when you are assembling parts, making
adjustments, cleaning, performing maintenance, or
when the tool is not in use. Disconnecting the tool
will prevent accidental starting that could cause
serious injury.
0° BEVEL STOP
The saw has a positive 0° bevel stop that has been factory
adjusted to assure 0° angle of the saw blade when making
90° cuts.
TO CHECK 0° BEVEL STOP
See Figure 15, page 19.
Unplug the saw.
Place the saw in an upside down position on a work-
bench.
Move the lower blade guard out of the way so that the
saw blade is exposed.
Check the squareness of the saw blade to the base of
the saw using a combination square.
TO ADJUST 0° BEVEL STOP
See Figures 16 and 17, page 19.
Unplug the saw.
Pull bevel adjustment lever upward to release.
Turn set screw with hex wrench and adjust base until it
is square with the saw blade.
Securely lock the bevel adjustment lever.
TO ADJUST BEVEL SETTING
See Figure 16, page 19.
Unplug the saw.
Pull the bevel adjustment lever upward until the motor
housing moves freely.
Raise the motor housing end of the saw until you reach
the desired angle setting on the bevel scale (0-45°).
NOTE: Pull the adjustment lever all the way up to set the
angle at 51.5°. To reach the 51.5° bevel setting, push the
51.5° bevel button.
Press downward on the bevel adjustment lever until the
motor housing is securely locked in place.
TO BEVEL CUT
See Figure 18, page 19.
WARNING:
Attempting a bevel cut without having the bevel
adjustment lever securely locked in place can result
in serious injury.
Hold the saw firmly with both hands as shown.
Rest the front edge of the base on the workpiece.
Start the saw and let the blade reach full speed.
Guide the saw into the workpiece and make the cut.
Release the trigger and allow the blade to come to a
complete stop.
Lift the saw from the workpiece.
The notch marked 0° in the base may be used as a guide
for making straight 90° cuts. For 45° bevel cuts, the notch
marked 45° may be used as a guide.
POCKET CUTTING
See Figure 19, page 19.
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 pos-
sibly causing serious injury.
Adjust the bevel setting to zero.
Set the blade to the correct blade depth setting, depend-
ing on the material to be cut.
Swing the lower blade guard up using the lower blade
guard handle.
NOTE: Always raise the lower blade guard with the handle
to avoid serious injury.
Hold the lower blade guard by the handle.
Rest the front of the base flat against the workpiece with
the rear of the handle raised so the blade does not touch
the workpiece.
Start the saw and let the blade reach full speed.
Guide the saw into the workpiece and make the cut.
WARNING:
Always cut in a forward direction when pocket cut-
ting. 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.
