LINE GUIDE
For a 0° cut, use right side of notch in the foot.
For 45° bevel cuts, use the left side (Fig. 7).
The cutting guide notch will give an
approximate line of cut. Make sample cuts in
scrap lumber to verify actual line of cut. This
will be helpful because of the number of
different blade types and thicknesses
available. To ensure minimum splintering on
the good side of the material to be cut, face
the good side down.
WRENCH USAGE
1. Loosening/tightening blade bolt (1/2" wrench)
2. Loosening/tightening brush caps (slotted
driver). See Fig. 8a.

torque from the motor can cause the tool to twist.
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.
ELECTRIC BRAKE
Your saw is equipped with an automatic electric
brake which is designed to stop the blade from
spinning in about three (3) seconds after you
release the trigger switch. It is useful when
making certain cuts in wood where a coasting
blade would result in a wide, imprecise cut.
When electrical power is lost

causes, the motor will gradually slow down and
the braking action is initiated ONLY by the
release of the trigger switch.
The electric blade brake of your saw has been
designed for highest degree of reliability, but
unexpected
circumstances
contamination on the commutator and brushes
or failure of motor's components can cause the
brake not to activate. If this condition occurs,
turn the saw "ON" and "OFF" four to five times
without contacting the workpiece. If the tool
operates but the brake does not consistently
stop the blade in about three (3) seconds, DO
NOT use saw and have it serviced immediately.
The brake action of this saw is

feature. Remember to let the saw blade come to
a complete stop before removing from the
workpiece. As always the guard system is your
best protection against unintentional contact with
a spinning saw blade. NEVER wedge open or
defeat the closing action of the lower guard.
