WRENCH STORAGE
Wrench storage is provided on the tool (Fig. 3).
Wrench is fully seated when second lock detent
is engaged.
Wrench needs to be inserted
with the correct orientation
CAUTION
(Fig. 7). Damage to work piece could occur if
inserted incorrectly.
LINE GUIDE
For a straight 90° cut, use right side of notch
in the foot. For 45° bevel cuts, use the left side
(Fig. 8). 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.
POWER INDICATOR LIGHT
(Models 5180 & 5185 only)
When you plug your tool into the power
source, the power indicator light will go "ON"
indicating the tool is receiving power (Fig. 1).
SAFETY SWITCH
The safety switch is designed to prevent
accidental starts. To operate safety switch, press
the release button with your thumb on either side
of handle to disengage the lock, then pull the
trigger (Fig. 1). When the trigger is released the
button will engage the safety switch
automatically, and the trigger will no longer
operate. (See SWITCH and GENERAL CUTS.)
When starting the tool,
hold it with both hands.
WARNING
The torque from the motor can cause the tool
to twist.
To turn tool on, press the safety switch
release button with your thumb on either side
of handle to disengage the lock, then pull the
trigger (Fig. 1). 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.

GENERAL CUTS
Always hold the saw handle with one hand
and the auxiliary handle or housing with the
other.
Always be sure either hand
does not interfere with the
free movement of the lower guard.
WARNING
Maintain a firm grip and operate the switch
with a decisive action. Never force the saw.
Use light and continuous pressure.
After completing a cut and
the
WARNING
released, be aware of the nec es sary time it
takes for the blade to come to a com plete
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
ex posures 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 ten den cy to tear and lift.
Advancing the saw slowly minimizes this
effect. For a finished cut, a cross cut blade or
miter blade is rec om mended.
