Adjusting Depth
1. WARNING! Remove battery to avoid starting the tool.
2. To adjust the depth of the cut, hold the saw by
the handle and loosen the depth adjusting lever by
pushing it up towards the motor housing.
3. Raise or lower the shoe to the desired position.
Markings in 1/4" increments are located on the in-
ner side of the upper guard for depth setting. For the
proper depth setting, the blade should extend no
more than 1/8" to 1/4" below the material being cut.

4. Press down on the depth adjusting lever to secure
the shoe position.
Adjusting Bevel Angle
1. WARNING! Remove battery to avoid starting the tool.
2. To adjust the angle of the cut, hold the saw by
the handle and loosen the bevel adjusting knob.
3. Hold the front of the shoe and rotate the saw by
the handle to the desired angle as indicated by
the markings on the bevel scale.
4. Tighten the bevel adjusting knob securely.
Adjusting the Blade to Shoe
The shoe has been adjusted at the factory to a 90
degree setting. Inspect the saw regularly to make
sure the blade is 90 degrees to the shoe.
1. WARNING! Remove battery to avoid starting the tool.
2. Set the bevel pointer to zero.
3. To make sure the blade is 90 degrees to the shoe,
place saw on the blade side and retract lower
guard. Place a square against the blade and shoe
to inspect the degree setting.
4. To adjust the degree setting, loosen the bevel adjust-
ing knob. Turn the bevel adjustment screw in or out
until the blade is at a 90 degree angle with the shoe.
5. Tighten the bevel adjusting knob securely.
OPERATION
To reduce the risk of injury, always
WARNING
wear proper eye protection marked
to comply with ANSI Z87.1.
When working in dusty situations, wear appro-
priate respiratory protection or use an OSHA
compliant dust extraction solution.
Keep hands away from the blade and other mov-
ing parts.
Kickback causes and related warnings
- Kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched, bound or
misaligned saw blade, causing an uncontrolled saw
to lift up and out of the workpiece toward the operator;
- When the blade is pinched or jammed tightly by the
kerf closing down, the blade stalls and the motor reac-
tion drives the unit rapidly back toward the operator;
- If the blade becomes twisted or misaligned in the cut,
the teeth at the back edge of the blade can dig into
the top surface of the wood causing the blade to climb
out of the kerf and jump back toward the operator.
Kickback is the result of saw misuse and/or incorrect
operating procedures or conditions and can be avoided
by taking proper precautions as given below:
• Maintain a firm grip with both hands on the saw and
position your arms to resist kickback forces. Posi-
tion your body to either side of the blade, but not
in line with the blade. Kickback could cause the saw
to jump backwards, but kickback forces can be con-
trolled by the operator, if proper precautions are taken.
• When blade is binding, or when interrupting a cut
for any reason, release the trigger and hold the saw
motionless in the material until the blade comes
to a complete stop. Never attempt to remove the
saw from the work or pull the saw backward while
the blade is in motion or kickback may occur. In-
vestigate and take corrective actions to eliminate the
cause of blade binding.
