of the base flat against the work piece as
you slowly push the saw's blade into the
work piece (See Fig. Kc).
i) Carefully guide the saw through the line
of cut. Do not bind the blade in the cut;
push the saw blade forward at a rate where
the blade is not laboring. When the cut is
complete, release the trigger safety release
and paddle switch and let the blade come
to a complete stop. Do not remove the saw
and blade from the work piece while the
blade is moving. This could damage your
cut, cause kickback, loss of control and
result in serious injury.
j) When the blade and saw are clear of and
removed from the work piece (See Fig. Kf),
the lower blade guard and base will be able
to automatically drop down and the blade
guard release lever will engage the upper
blade guard, locking the blade above the
base (See Fig. Kg).
wARNING: Never use the saw with
your hands positioned as shown in
Fig. L2.
7. MAKING cROSS cUTS AND RIP cUTS
(See Fig. M1, M2)
a) ALwAyS use your saw with your hands
positioned correctly (See Fig. M1, M2).
wARNING: Always maintain
proper control of the saw to make
sawing safer and easier. Loss of control
of the saw could cause an accident
resulting in possible serious injury.
b) When making cross or rip cuts, align your
line of cut with the center of the "V" notch
located on the front of the saw's base (See
Fig. J).
c) Since the thickness of blades varies,
make a trial cut in scrap material along
the guideline to determine how much, if
any, you should offset the blade from the
guideline to allow for the blade thickness to
get an accurate cut.
Making rip cuts (See Fig. M2)
Always use a guide when making long or
wide rip cuts with your saw. You can use either
a straight edge (sold separately), or use the
parallel guide that is included with your saw.

8. cUTTING wITh A STRAIGhT EDGE
(See Fig. M1)
You can make an efficient rip guide by
clamping a straight edge to your work piece.
a) Mark the position of the side edge of the
saw's base (cutting platform) and then
securely clamp the straight edge (sold
separately) on the mark and parallel to the
cut line.
b) As you cut, keep the edge of the saw's base
flush against the straight edge and flat on
the work piece.
c) Always let the blade reach full speed, then
carefully guide the saw into the work piece.
Do not bind the blade in the cut. Push the
saw forward at a speed where the blade is
not laboring.
9. INSTALLING AND USING ThE
PARALLEL GUIDE (See Fig. N1,N2,N3)
Your saw comes with a parallel guide that is
7-inches long on the guide edge. It allows you
to make accurate parallel cuts when trimming
a work piece. It attaches to the saw's base. The
arm of the parallel guide is stamped, on both
sides, 0 to 7 inches in 1/4-inch increments and
1 to 18 centimeters in 10-mm increments for
easy adjustment of your cut. The parallel guide
can be used with the guide edge turned down
to guide along the edge of a work piece for
rip or cross cuts (See Fig. N2), or turned up to
guide against a wall for inside cuts (See Fig.
N3).
a) Position the parallel guide so the arm can
slide into the mounting slots at the front
of the saw's base (See Fig. N1), and loosen
the retaining screw.
b) Adjust the parallel guide to the desired
length of cut.
c) Tighten the parallel guide locking
screw(20).
d) Clamp and support the work piece securely
before making your cut.
e) Place the parallel guide firmly against the
edge of the work piece (See Fig.N2), or
against a wall (See Fig.N3). Doing this will
help give you a true cut without pinching
the blade.
f) Be sure that the guiding edge of the work
piece, or the wall, is straight so you can
