BEVEL CUTTING

See Figures 19 - 21, page 18.
To make the best possible cut, follow these helpful hints.
 Align the line of cut with the inner blade guide notch on
the base when making 45° bevel cuts.
 Make a trial cut in scrap material along a guideline to
determine how much you should offset the guideline on
the cutting material.
 Adjust the angle of the cut to any desired setting between
zero and 51.5°. Refer to To Adjust Bevel Setting next.
TO ADJUST BEVEL SETTING
See Figures 19 - 20, page 18.
 Unplug the saw.
 Loosen bevel lock knob.
 Rotate motor housing end of saw until you reach desired
angle setting on bevel scale.
 Tighten bevel lock knob securely.
wARNING:
Attempting a bevel cut without having the bevel lock knob
securely tightened can result in serious injury.
TO BEVEL CUT
See Figure 21, page 18.
 Hold the saw firmly with both hands as shown.
 Rest the front edge of the base on the workpiece.
 Start the saw and let the blade reach full speed.
 Guide the saw into the workpiece and make the cut.
 Release the switch and allow the blade to come to a
complete stop.
 Lift the saw from the workpiece.

POCkET CUTTING

See Figure 22, page 18.
wARNING:
Always adjust bevel setting to zero before making a
pocket cut. Attempting a pocket cut at any other setting
can result in loss of control of the saw possibly causing
serious injury.
 Adjust the bevel setting to zero and tighten the bevel lock
knob.
 Set the blade to the correct blade depth setting.
OPERATION
 Swing the lower blade guard up using the lower blade
guard handle.
NOTE: Always raise the lower blade guard with the handle
to avoid serious injury.
 Hold the lower blade guard by the handle while keeping
your hand on the front handle as shown.
 Rest the front of the base flat against the workpiece with
the rear of the handle raised so the blade does not touch
the workpiece.
 Start the saw and let the blade reach full speed.
 Guide the saw into the workpiece and make the cut.
wARNING:
Always cut in a forward direction when pocket cutting.
Cutting in the reverse direction could cause the saw to
climb up on the workpiece and back toward you.
 Release the switch and allow the blade to come to a
complete stop.
 Lift the saw from the workpiece.
 Clear corners out with a hand saw or sabre saw.
wARNING:
Never tie the lower blade guard in a raised position.
Leaving the blade exposed could lead to serious injury.
