WARNING
To reduce the risk of in-
jury, always unplug tool before changing or
removing accessories. Only use accessories
specifi cally recommended for this tool. Others
may be hazardous.
WARNING
Only use accessories with
maximum speed rating at least as high as
nameplate RPM of tool.
Selecting Blade
Always use sharp blades. Dull blades tend to
overload the tool and increase the chance of
KICKBACK (see "Causes and Operator Prevention
of KICKBACK"). Only use thin kerf blades with a
maximum safe operating speed greater than the no
load RPM marked on the tool's nameplate. Read
the blade manufacturer's instructions before use.
Do not use any type of abrasive cut-off wheel or
dry diamond cutting blades.

Rip & Crosscut
A multi-purpose blade for ripping, cross cut-
ting and mitering in hardwoods, softwoods,
plywood and composition materials.
Framing-Rip
Designed for fast and accurate ripping along
the grain in hard-or softwoods where a smooth
cross cut is not necessary.
Plywood-Veneer
Recommended for cutting plywood, composi-
tion materials and all types of wood where a
slightly smoother fi nish is needed.
Finish & Trim
Especially designed for cross cutting and
mitering in materials where a very smooth cut
is necessary. Also cuts aluminum.

workbench and pull up depth adjusting lever.
0 to 1-3/4"
3. Keeping shoe fl at against workbench, raise or
lower saw to desired position. Lowering saw will
increase depth of cut. Raising saw will decrease
depth of cut. For proper depth setting, blade
should extend no more than 1/4" below material
being cut. Use the depth of cut scale for standard
depths.
4. Push down depth adjusting lever to lock. Check
to be sure depth adjusting lever is secure.
Adjusting Miter Angle
1. Unplug tool.
2. To adjust angle of cut, place saw on edge or
workbench and pull up miter adjusting lever.
3. Hold down shoe and slide saw to desired posi-
tion (up to 45˚) according to markings on miter
scale.
4. To increase the angle of cut up to 60˚, push in
the override button and tip the saw to the desired
angle.
5. Push down miter lever to lock. Check angle with
a square. Also check to be sure miter adjusting

Preventing Kickback
Kickback is the sudden reaction to a pinched blade,
which could cause a saw that is not under control
to lift up and out of the workpiece towards the
user. Take the precautions below to help prevent
kickback.
1. Maintain a fi rm grip and correct body position.
Position arms and body to control the upward and
backward reaction force of kickback (Fig. 4).
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. Unplug 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 (Fig. 3).
4. To adjust the degree setting, loosen the bevel
adjusting 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.

2. Keep blades sharp and clean. A sharp blade
will tend to cut its way out of a pinching condi-
tion. A dull blade produces a narrow kerf (path
cut by blade) and is likely to be pinched by the
workpiece. Dull or pitch coated blades also tend
to encourage the user to force the saw, causing
reduced control and blade binding. Any blade
with a small set, even though it is sharp, may
be likely to kick back (Fig. 5).
