5. UsE OF DUll OR DiRTY BlADEs
a. Dull blades cause increased loading of the saw. To
compensate, an operator will usually push harder which
further loads the unit and promotes twisting of the blade
in the kerf. Worn blades may also have insufficient body
clearance which increases the chance of binding and
increased loading.
6. liFTing ThE sAW WhEn MAKing A BEVEl CUT
a. Bevel cuts require special operator attention to proper
cutting techniques – especially guidance of the saw. Both
blade angle to the shoe and greater blade surface in the
material increase the chance for binding and misalignment
(twist) to occur.
7. REsTARTing A CUT WiTh ThE BlADE TEETh JAMMED
AgAinsT ThE MATERiAl
a. The saw should be brought up to full operating speed
before starting a cut or restarting a cut after the unit has
been stopped with the blade in the kerf. Failure to do so can
cause stalling and kickback.
Any other conditions which could result in pinching, binding,
twisting, or misalignment of the blade could cause kickback.
Refer to the sections Further Safety Instructions for All
Saws and Blades for procedures and techniques that will
minimize the occurrence of kickback.
Cutting Depth Adjustment (Fig. A, E)
1. Hold the saw firmly and loosen (counterclockwise) the
depth adjustment lever

obtain the desired depth of cut.
2. Make sure the depth adjustment lever has been
retightened (clockwise) before operating saw.
For the most efficient cutting action, set the depth
adjustment so that one‑half tooth of the blade will project
below the material to be cut. This distance is from the tip of
the tooth to the bottom of the gullet in front of it. This keeps
blade friction at a minimum, removes sawdust from the cut,
results in cooler, faster sawing and reduces the chance of
kickback. A method for checking for correct cutting depth
is shown in Figure E. Lay a piece of the material you plan to
cut along the side of the blade, as shown, and observe how
much tooth projects beyond the material.
Bevel Angle Adjustment (Fig. A, F)
The full range of the bevel adjustment is from 0° to 50°. The
quadrant is graduated in increments of 1°. On the front of the
saw is a bevel angle adjustment mechanism consisting of a
calibrated quadrant and a bevel adjustment lever
To Set the Saw for a Bevel Cut
1. Loosen (counterclockwise) the bevel adjustment lever
and tilt shoe
5
to the desired angle by aligning the pointer
with the desired angle mark.
2. Retighten lever firmly (clockwise).
Shoe Adjustment for 90° Cuts (Fig. A, G)
The shoe
5
has been set by the factory to assure that the
blade is perpendicular to the shoe at 0° bevel setting.
If realignment is needed:
1. Adjust the saw to 0° bevel.
2. Retract blade guard

3. Loosen bevel adjustment knob

. Place a square against
to adjust the 90° setting.
4. Loosen the nut
so that the shoe will stop at the proper angle. Retighten nut
against the shoe while holding adjustment screw in position.
5. Confirm the accuracy of the setting by checking the
squareness of an actual cut on a scrap piece of material.
Kerf Indicator (Fig. A)
The front of the saw shoe has a kerf indicator
and bevel cutting. This indicator enables you to guide the
saw along cutting lines penciled on the material being cut.
The kerf indicator lines up with the left (inner) side of the
saw blade, which makes the slot or "kerf" cut by the moving
blade fall to the right of the indicator. Guide along the
penciled cutting line so that the kerf falls into the waste or
surplus material.
Mounting and Adjusting the Rip Fence (Fig. K)
Optional Accessory
The rip fence
the workpiece.
Mounting
1. Slacken the rip fence clamp screw
fence to pass.
2. Insert the rip fence
3. Tighten the rip fence clamp screw
Adjusting
1. Slacken the rip fence clamp screw

on the rip fence scale.
2. Tighten the rip clamp screw
Prior to Operation
• Make sure the guards have been mounted correctly. The
saw blade guard must be in closed position.
• Make sure the saw blade rotates in the direction of the
arrow on the blade.
• Do not use excessively worn saw blades.
OPERATION
WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal
injury, turn unit off and remove the battery pack
before making any adjustments or removing/installing
attachments or accessories. An accidental start‑up can
cause injury.
Installing and Removing the Battery Pack (Fig. C)
.
nOTE: For best results, make sure your battery pack is
fully charged.
To install the battery pack
10
battery pack with the rails inside the tool's handle and slide
it into the handle until the battery pack is firmly seated in the
tool and ensure that it does not disengage.
To remove the battery pack from the tool, press the release
button
12
and firmly pull the battery pack out of the tool
handle. Insert it into the charger.
Proper Hand Position (Fig. D)
WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal injury,
ALWAYS use proper hand position as shown.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal injury,
ALWAYS hold securely in anticipation of a sudden reaction.
Proper hand position requires one hand on the main
handle
20
and one hand on the auxiliary handle
