In this situation, the tool does not start even if turning the
tool off and on. To release the protection lock, remove the
battery, set it to the battery charger and wait until the
charging finishes.
Adjusting depth of cut
CAUTION:
• After adjusting the depth of cut, always tighten the lever
securely.
Loosen the lever on the side of the rear handle and move
the base up or down. At the desired depth of cut, secure
the base by tightening the lever. (Fig. 12)
For cleaner, safer cuts, set cut depth so that no more than
one blade tooth projects below workpiece. Using proper
cut depth helps to reduce potential for dangerous
KICKBACKS which can cause personal injury.

Bevel cutting

Loosen the front lever. Set for the desired angle (0° - 50°)
by tilting accordingly, then tighten the front lever securely.
(Fig. 13)
Use the 45° stopper when you do precise 45° angle
cutting. Turn the stopper counterclockwise fully for bevel
cut (0° - 45°) and turn it clockwise for 0° - 50° bevel cuts.
(Fig. 14)
Sighting (Fig. 15)
For straight cuts, align the 0° position on the front of the
base with your cutting line. For 45° bevel cuts, align the
45° position with it. The position of the top guide is
adjustable.
Lighting the lamp
CAUTION:
• Do not look in the lamp or see the source of lamp
directly. (Fig. 16)
