OPERATION
TO BEVEL CUT
See Figure 21, page 19.
WARNING:
Attempting a bevel cut without having the bevel
adjustment lever securely locked in place can
result in serious injury.
 Hold the saw firmly with both hands as shown.
 Rest the front edge of the base on the workpiece.
 Start the saw and let the blade reach full speed.
 Guide the saw into the workpiece and make the cut.
 Release the trigger and allow the blade to come to a
complete stop.
 Lift the saw from the workpiece.
The notch marked 0° in the base may be used as a guide
for making straight 90° cuts. For 45° bevel cuts, the notch
marked 45° may be used as a guide.
POCKET CUTTING
See Figure 22, page 19.
WARNING:
Always adjust bevel setting to zero before making
a pocket cut. Attempting a pocket cut at any other
setting can result in loss of control of the saw
possibly causing serious injury.
 Adjust the bevel setting to zero.
 Set the blade to the correct blade depth setting, depend-
ing on the material to be cut.
 Swing the lower blade guard up using the lower blade
guard handle.
NOTE: Always raise the lower blade guard with the handle
to avoid serious injury.
 Hold the lower blade guard by the handle.
 Rest the front of the base flat against the workpiece with
the rear of the handle raised so the blade does not touch
the workpiece.
 Start the saw and let the blade reach full speed.
 Guide the saw into the workpiece and make the cut.
WARNING:
Always cut in a forward direction when pocket
cutting. Cutting in the reverse direction could
cause the saw to climb up on the workpiece and
back toward you.
 Release the trigger and allow the blade to come to a
complete stop.
 Lift the saw from the workpiece.
 Clear corners out with a hand saw or sabre saw.
WARNING:
Never tie the lower blade guard in a raised position.
Leaving the blade exposed could lead to serious
injury.
LENGTH OF CUT SCALE
See Figure 23, page 19.
The saw is equipped with a length of cut scale on its base. It
is parallel with the saw blade and you can use it to measure
the distance the blade cuts into the material.
NOTE: Six inches is the maximum length of cut that you can
measure. Also, it is accurate only when the depth of cut is
set at full maximum depth.
