Adjusting Bevel Angle
1. WARNING! Remove battery to avoid starting the tool.
2. To adjust the angle of the cut, hold the saw by the
handle and loosen the bevel adjusting knob.
3. Hold the front of the shoe and rotate the saw by
the handle to the desired angle as indicated by
the markings on the bevel scale.
4. Tighten the bevel adjusting knob securely.
Adjusting the Blade to Shoe
The shoe has been adjusted at the factory to a 90°
setting. Inspect the saw regularly to make sure the
blade is 90° to the shoe.
1. WARNING! Remove battery to avoid starting the tool.
2. Set the bevel pointer to zero.
3. To make sure the blade is 90° to the shoe, place
saw on the blade side and retract lower guard.
Place a square against the blade and shoe to
inspect the degree setting.
4. To adjust the degree setting, loosen the bevel
adjusting knob. Turn the bevel adjustment screw
in or out until the blade is at a 90° angle with the
shoe.
5. Tighten the bevel adjusting knob securely.
Vacuum Hose Adapter
Use the adapter to attach the saw to a vacuum hose.
To attach the adapter:
1. WARNING! Remove battery to avoid starting the tool.
2. Slide the adapter onto the saw until the adapter
snaps over the tab.
3. Secure with screw.
to comply with ANSI Z87.1.
When working in dusty situations, wear appro-
priate respiratory protection or use an OSHA
compliant dust extraction solution.
Keep hands away from the blade and other mov-
ing parts.
To determine the amount of charge left in the battery,
turn the tool ON. The fuel gauge will light up for 2-3
seconds. When less than 10% of charge is left, 1
light on the fuel gauge will flash 4 times.
To signal the end of charge, 1 light on the fuel gauge
will flash 8 times and the tool will not run. Charge
the battery pack.
If the battery becomes too hot, the fuel gauge lights
will flash and the tool will not run. Allow the battery
to cool down.
– Kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched, bound
or misaligned saw blade, causing an uncontrolled
saw to lift up and out of the workpiece toward the
operator;
– When the blade is pinched or jammed tightly by the
kerf closing down, the blade stalls and the motor
reaction drives the unit rapidly back toward the
operator;
– If the blade becomes twisted or misaligned in the
cut, the teeth at the back edge of the blade can dig
into the top surface of the wood causing the blade
to climb out of the kerf and jump back toward the
operator.
Kickback is the result of saw misuse and/or incor-
rect operating procedures or conditions and can be
avoided by taking proper precautions as given below:
Bevel
• Maintain a firm grip with both hands on the saw
adjustment
and position your arms to resist kickback forces.
sdcrew
Position your body to either side of the blade, but
not in line with the blade. Kickback could cause
the saw to jump backwards, but kickback forces can
be controlled by the operator, if proper precautions
are taken.
• When blade is binding, or when interrupting a
cut for any reason, release the trigger and hold
the saw motionless in the material until the
blade comes to a complete stop. Never attempt
to remove the saw from the work or pull the saw
backward while the blade is in motion or kick-
back may occur. Investigate and take corrective
actions to eliminate the cause of blade binding.
• When restarting a saw in the workpiece, centre
the saw blade in the kerf and check that saw
teeth are not engaged into the material. If saw
blade is binding, it may walk up or kickback from the
workpiece as the saw is restarted.
• Support large panels to minimise the risk of
blade pinching and kickback. Large panels tend
to sag under their own weight. Supports must be
placed under the panel on both sides, near the line
of cut and near the edge of the panel.
• Do not use dull or damaged blades. Unsharpened
or improperly set blades produce narrow kerf caus-
ing excessive friction, blade binding and kickback.
