Inspect the wood before making any cuts. There should be
no nails or foreign objects in the workpiece.
When making a cross cut or rip cut along a track, align the
line of cut with the rubber cut strip on the track.
RIP CUTTING ALONG A TRACK
 Remove the battery pack and install the riving knife.
NOTE: Always install the riving knife when making through
cuts (except pocket cuts).
 Secure workpiece to a workbench, table or other suitable
support.
 Place the plunge depth control lever in the plunge cut
position.
 Set the blade to the correct blade depth setting.
 Install vacuum hose (not included) if desired.
 Place the track on the workpiece and position the rubber
cut strip along your desired line of cut.
 Clamp the track to the workpiece as previously described.
 Place the saw on the track and make adjustments if
needed.
 Reinstall the battery pack.
 Slide the saw to the starting end of the track and ensure
the blade is positioned to cut all the workpiece.
 Start the saw and let the blade reach full speed.
 Carefully lower the blade until it contacts the workpiece.
 Guide the saw in a forward direction along the track to
achieve a straight rip cut.
NOTE: Use caution to prevent the blade from binding in
the cut.
NOTE: To reduce the risk of splintering, always make
a score cut before cutting through laminated or veneer
faced plywood or composite materials.
 Release the trigger and allow the blade to come to a
complete stop.
 Slowly allow the front handle to rise until the blade is
completely inside of the guard and the saw is in the locked
position.
 Remove the battery pack from the saw.
RIP CUTTING WITHOUT A TRACK
 Remove the battery pack and install the riving knife.
NOTE: Always install the riving knife when making through
cuts (except pocket cuts).
 Secure workpiece to a workbench, table or other suitable
support.
 Place the plunge depth control lever in the plunge cut
position.
 Set the blade to the correct blade depth setting.
OPERATION
 Install vacuum hose (not included) if desired.
 Clamp a straight edge to the workpiece using C-clamps.
 Reinstall the battery pack.
 Place the front of the base flat on the workpiece.
 Start the saw and let the blade reach full speed.
 Carefully lower the blade until it contacts the workpiece.
 Saw along the straight edge in a forward direction to
achieve a straight rip cut.
NOTE: Use caution to prevent the blade from binding in
the cut.
NOTE: To reduce the risk of splintering, always make
a score cut before cutting through laminated or veneer
faced plywood or composite materials.
 Release the trigger and allow the blade to come to a
complete stop.
 Slowly allow the front handle to rise until the blade is
completely inside of the guard and the saw is in the locked
position.
 Remove the battery pack from the saw.
BEVEL CUTTING
See Figures 33 - 36, page 23 .
A bevel cut is made by cutting the workpiece with the blade
at an angle.
BEVEL CUTTING ALONG A TRACK
NOTE: Always use the anti-tip feature when bevel cutting
along a track to prevent the saw from tipping or becoming
unbalanced.
 Remove the battery pack and install the riving knife.
NOTE: Always install the riving knife when making through
cuts (except pocket cuts).
 Secure workpiece to a workbench, table or other suitable
support.
 Place the plunge depth control lever in the plunge cut
position.
 Set the blade to the correct blade depth setting.
 Install vacuum hose (not included) if desired.
 Place the track on the workpiece and position the rubber
cut strip along your desired line of cut.
 Clamp the track to the workpiece as previously described.
 Loosen the anti-tip knob and swing it inwards to extend
the lock plate.
 Tighten the anti-tip knob.
 Hold the saw at an angle and guide the lock plate under-
neath the lip of the track
 Place the rest of the saw on the track and make adjust-
ments if needed.
