 Connect the saw to a power supply.
 Depress the switch to start the motor. The laser guide will
turn on when the switch is depressed and turn off when
the switch is released.
NOTE: Do not touch the blade to the workpiece until the
saw has reached maximum speed.
 Slowly push the saw forward into the workpiece.
NOTE: Keep the laser beam on the marked line on the
workpiece for precision cutting.
 Once the cut is complete, allow the saw to come to a
complete stop. The laser will turn off when the switch is
released.
OPERATING THE SAW
See Figures 12 - 14, page 17.
It is important to understand the correct method for operating
the saw. Refer to the figures in this section to learn the correct
and incorrect ways for handling the saw.
WARNING:
To make sawing easier and safer, always maintain proper
control of the saw, by holding the saw with both hands.
Loss of control could cause an accident resulting in pos-
sible serious injury.
DANGER:
When lifting the saw from the workpiece, the blade is ex-
posed on the underside of the saw until the lower blade
guard closes. Make sure the lower blade guard is closed
before setting the saw down.
WARNING:
Use clamps or other practical way to secure and sup-
port the workpiece to a stable platform. Holding the
work by hand or against your body is unstable and can
lead to loss of control which could cause possible seri-
ous injury.
To make the best possible cut:
 Hold the saw firmly with both hands.
 Avoid placing your hand on the workpiece while making a
cut.
 Support the workpiece so that the cut is always on your
right.
 Support the workpiece near the cut.
 Clamp the workpiece securely so that the workpiece will
not move during the cut.
 Avoid placing the saw on the part of the workpiece that
will fall off when the cut is made.
 Place the workpiece with the "good" side down.
OPERATION
 Draw a guideline along the desired line of cut before begin-
ning your cut.
 Keep the cord away from the cutting area. Always place
the cord to prevent it from hanging up on the workpiece
while making a cut.
DANGER:
If the cord hangs up on the workpiece during a cut, release
the switch immediately and allow the blade to come to a
complete stop. Unplug the saw and reposition the cord to
prevent it from hanging up again.
WARNING:
Using a saw with a damaged cord could result in serious
injury or death. If the cord has been damaged, have it
replaced before using the saw again.
LENGTH OF CUT SCALE
See Figure 15, page 17.
The saw is equipped with a length of cut scale on its base.
It is parallel with the saw blade and can be used to measure
the distance into the material the blade cuts.
NOTE: Six inches is the maximum length of cut that you can
measure. Also, it is accurate only when the depth of cut is set
at full maximum depth.
CROSS CUTTING/RIP CUTTING
See Figure 16, page 17.
When making a cross cut or rip cut, align the line of cut with
the outer blade guide notch on the base as shown in the figure.
Since blade thicknesses vary, always make a trial cut in scrap
material along a guideline to determine how much, if any, you
must offset the guideline to produce an accurate cut.
NOTE: The distance from the line of cut to the guideline is
the amount you should offset the guide.
TO RIP CUT WITHOUT EDGE GUIDE
See Figure 17, page 17.
Use a guide when making long or wide rip cuts with the saw.
NOTE: You may also use an edge guide to make rip cuts.
Refer to Optional Edge Guide section later in this manual.
 Secure the workpiece.
 Clamp a straight edge to the workpiece using C-clamps.
 Saw along the straight edge to achieve a straight rip cut.
NOTE: Do not bind the blade in the cut.
BEVEL CUTTING
See Figures 18 - 20, page 17.
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.
