BEVEL ADJUSTMENT
Disconnect battery pack from tool. The foot
can be adjusted up to 45° by loosening the
bevel adjustment knob at the front of the
saw. Align to desired angle on calibrated
quadrant. Then tighten bevel adjustment
knob (Fig. 8). For 50° loosen bevel adjustment
knob, depress 45° stop spring (Fig. 9), align
foot to 50 mark on quadrant and tighten knob.
Because of the increased amount of blade
engagement in the work and decreased
stability of the foot, blade binding may occur.
Keep the saw steady and the foot firmly on
the workpiece.
ADJUSTABLE LINE GUIDE
For a straight 90° cut you can use the left or
right side of notch in the foot. For 45° bevel
cuts, use the right side (Fig 9). The guide can
be adjusted to allow for variation in blade
thicknesses for whichever side of the blade
the user would prefer to cut the line on.
TO ATTACH: Disconnect battery pack from
tool. Align hole in adjustable line guide with
hole in foot and secure with screw provide.
TO ADJUST: Loosen but don't remove, the
adjustment screw enough so the guide can
move freely. Set a straightedge flat on the
preferred side of the blade, lining up both the
edge of the straightedge and the edge of the
guide where the 0° mark is located.
SWITCH
To turn tool "ON", squeeze the trigger switch.
To turn the tool "OFF", release the trigger
switch, which is spring loaded and will return
to the off position automatically.
Your saw should be running at full speed
BEFORE starting the cut, and turned off only
AFTER completing the cut. To increase
switch life, do not turn switch on and off while
cutting.
BRAKE
When the trigger is released it activates the
electrical brake to stop the blade quickly. This
feature is especially useful when making
repetitive cuts.
GENERAL CUTS

and the auxiliary handle or housing with the
other.

WARNING
!
released, be aware of the necessary time it
takes for the blade to come to a complete
stop during coast down. Do not allow the
saw to brush against your leg or side,
since the lower guard is retractable, it
could catch on your clothing and expose
the blade. Be aware of the necessary blade
exposures that exist in both the upper and
lower guard areas.
When cutting is interrupted, to resume
cutting: squeeze the trigger and allow the
blade to reach full speed, re-enter the cut
slowly and resume cutting.
When cutting across the grain, the fibers of
the wood have a tendency to tear and lift.
Advancing the saw slowly minimizes this
effect. For a finished cut, a cross cut blade or
not interfere
miter blade is recommended.
