Note: Always maintain the correct blade depth setting. For all cuts the blade depth should
not exceed 1⁄4" below the material being cut. Excessive blade depth increases the chance
of saw KICKBACK.
Bevel Angle Adjustment
• Loosen the clamp knob at the bevel scale plate on the front of the saw base.
• Tilt the saw base until the desired graduation on the bevel scale aligns with the indicator
line on the stationary bevel bracket.
• Tighten the clamp knob securely.
• Always make a test cut in scrap lumber and measure the cut angle to confirm the bevel
angle is set properly; if necessary, adjust the bevel angle appropriately before cutting the
work piece.
Line-of-Cut Indicators
• Line-of-cut indicator notches are provided at the front of the saw base.
• The right notch is used to follow a line when making a 0° cut.
• The left notch is used to follow a line when making a 45° bevel cut.
• Since blade thicknesses vary, it is necessary to make test cuts in scrap material, along
a guideline, to determine proper alignment of the guideline within the notch to obtain an
accurate cut.
Starting and Stopping the Saw
To start the saw:
• Pull the switch trigger.
• Always let the blade reach full speed before guiding the saw into the work piece.
WARnIng:
full speed could cause your saw to KICKBACK towards you resulting in serious personal
injury.
To stop the saw:
• Release the switch trigger.
• Allow the blade to come to a complete stop.
• Do not remove your saw from the work piece while the blade is still moving.
Operating the Saw
WARnIng:
in a straight line gently. Forcing or twisting the tool will result in overheating the motor and
dangerous KICKBACK, possibly causing severe personal injury.
It's important to understand the correct technique for operating your saw and to learn what
the correct and incorrect ways for handling your saw. Equally important to working safely
and realizing accurate cuts is correct preparation of the work piece and work area prior to
making the first cut with the saw.
• Place the work piece with the "good" side down.
• Set-up and support the work piece so the cut is always on your right so the larger left side
of the saw's base will be on the part that DOES NOT fall off when the cut is made.
• Securely clamp the work piece so it will not move during the cut.
• Place a clamp near the cut to further support the work piece.
• Draw a guideline along the desired path of cut before starting your saw or the cut.
• Move and keep the cord away from the cutting area. Position the cord to prevent it from
hanging up on the work piece and you from standing or tripping on the cord while cutting.
• Hold the tool firmly with both hands, using both the front grip and rear handle.
• Avoid placing your hand on the work piece while making a cut.
• Always make a test cut in scrap lumber and measure the cut angle to confirm the bevel
angle is set properly; if necessary, adjust the bevel angle appropriately before cutting the
work piece.
