Never lift the saw by gripping any of the

mechanism parts. The saw may move
and cause severe injuries to your fingers or
hands.

•
to your body when lifting. Bend your

your back.
WARNING
from the power source before performing
any assembly, adjustments, or repairs.
Head-assembly Lock Pin
The head-assembly lock pin (Fig. 14) is used
to hold the head assembly in the DOWN
position. This position prevents the head
from moving up and down during transport
and makes the saw more compact for lifting
and storage. This position is also required for
some calibration procedures.
To Engage the Head-Assembly Lock Pin:
1. Check that the depth-of-cut stop and
the dimensional-lumber preset stop are
disengaged.
2. Grasp the main handle and press down on
the head assembly.
To Disengage the Head-Assembly Lock

head-assembly lock pin, but maintain your
grip on the main handle. Slowly allow the
spring-loaded saw head to come up to
the top of its travel and then release the
