DANGER:
If the cord hangs up on the workpiece during a cut,
release the switch immediately and allow the blade to
come to a complete stop. Unplug the saw and reposition
the cord to prevent it from hanging up again.
WARNING:
Using a saw with a damaged cord could result in serious
injury or death. If the cord has been damaged, have it
replaced before using the saw again.
CROSS CUTTING/RIP CUTTING
See Figures 14 - 15, page 18.
When making a cross cut or rip cut, align the line of cut with
the blade guide notch on the base.
Since blade thicknesses vary, always make a trial cut in scrap
material along a guideline to determine how much, if any,
you must offset the guideline to produce an accurate cut.
NOTE: The distance from the line of cut to the guideline is
the amount you should offset the guide.
TO RIP CUT WITHOUT EDGE GUIDE
See Figure 15, page 18.
Use a guide when making long or wide rip cuts with the saw.
NOTE: You may also use a edge guide to make rip cuts.
Refer to Optional Edge Guide later in this manual.
 Secure the workpiece.
 Clamp a straight edge to the workpiece using C-clamps.
 Saw along the straight edge to achieve a straight rip cut.
NOTE: Do not bind the blade in the cut.
BEVEL CUTTING
See Figures 16 - 17, page 18.
To make the best possible cut, follow these helpful hints.
 Align the line of cut with the inner blade guide notch on
the base when making 45° bevel cuts.
 Make a trial cut in scrap material along a guideline to
determine how much you should offset the guideline on
the cutting material.
 Adjust the angle of the cut to any desired setting between
zero and 51.5°. Refer to To Adjust Bevel Setting next.
OPERATION
TO ADJUST BEVEL SETTING
See Figure 16 - 17, page 18.
 Unplug the saw.
 Loosen bevel lock knob.
 Rotate motor housing end of saw until you reach desired
angle setting on bevel scale.
 Tighten bevel lock knob securely.
WARNING:
Attempting a bevel cut without having the bevel lock knob
securely tightened can result in serious injury.
TO BEVEL CUT
See Figure 18, page 18.
 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 switch and allow the blade to come to a
complete stop.
 Lift the saw from the workpiece.
POCKET CUTTING
See Figure 19, page 18.
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.
 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 while keeping
your hand on the front handle as shown.
 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.
