- raise/lower foot K until desired cutting depth is set on
scale using indicator L
- tighten lever J
• Adjusting cutting angle (0-45°) 6
- loosen knob M
- tilt tool until desired cutting angle is set on scale using
indicator N
- tighten knob M
! when bevel cutting, cutting depth does not
correspond with value on cutting depth scale
• 90° Cutting angle check 6
- adjust and tighten foot K to maximum cutting depth 5
- adjust and tighten cutting angle to 0°
- check for a 90° angle between the blade and bottom of
foot with a square
- if adjustment is needed, tilt and tighten foot to 45° and
bend tab P with an adjustable wrench
• Line-of-cut indicator Q 7
- for guiding tool along desired line of cut marked on
the workpiece
- for a straight 0° cut or a 45° bevel cut use the indicator
line concerned
- allows you to choose whether waste material is on
inner or outer side of blade
! the wide part of the foot should rest on the
supported part of the workpiece
! cutting width is determined by width of blade
teeth and not by width of blade body
! always make trial cuts first to verify actual line
of cut
• Dust suction
! mount vacuum cleaner adapter R before using
the tool 3
- connect vacuum cleaner
! do not use vacuum cleaner when cutting metal
! never let the vacuum cleaner hose interfere with
the lower guard or the cutting operation
• Operating the tool 8
- connect plug to power source
- always hold handle S irmly with one hand and handle
T irmly with the other hand
- place tool with front end of foot lat on workpiece
! ensure that the saw teeth are not engaged into
the workpiece
- switch on tool by irst pressing knob U (= safety switch
which cannot be locked) and then pulling trigger V
! the tool should run at full speed before the blade
enters into the workpiece
- lower guard F opens automatically when saw blade
enters the workpiece (open lower guard manually by
using lever G only for special cuts such as
plunge cuts)
- do not force the tool; apply light and
continuous pressure
! while working, always hold the tool at the
grey-coloured grip area(s)
- after completing the cut switch of tool by releasing
trigger V
! ensure that the blade has come to a complete
standstill, before you lift the tool from
the workpiece
APPLICATION ADVICE
• Always face the good side of the workpiece down to
ensure minimum splintering
• When using guide-rail (accessory 2610Z00217), the
depth of cut will be reduced with 9 mm for 90 as well as
45 cuts
• Only use sharp saw blades of the correct type 9
- quality of cut improves by the number of teeth
- carbide tipped blades stay sharp up to 30 times longer
than ordinary blades
• Rip fence W 0
- for making exact cuts along a workpiece edge
- can be inserted in either side of foot
Adjusting rip fence
- loosen knob X
- adjust to desired cutting width by using rip fence scale
(use line-of-cut indicator Q as 0-reference)
- tighten knob X
• Plunge cutting !
- set desired cutting depth
- tilt tool forward with line-of-cut indicator Q lined up with
desired line of cut marked on the workpiece
- open lower guard F with lever G
- just before blade enters workpiece, switch on tool and
gradually lower back end of tool using front end of foot
as hinge-point
- gradually move tool downward as well as forward
- as soon as blade enters the material, release lever G
! the tool should run at full speed before the blade
enters into the workpiece
! never pull tool backwards
• Cutting large panels @
- support panel close to the cut either on loor, table
or workbench
! set cutting depth so that you cut through panel
and not through support
- in case rip fence does not allow desired width of cut,
clamp or nail straight piece of wood to workpiece as a
guide, and use the right side of the foot against
this guide
MAINTENANCE / SERVICE
• Always keep tool and cord clean (especially the
ventilation slots)
! disconnect the plug before cleaning
• Clean saw blade immediately after use (especially from
resin and glue)
• If the tool should fail despite the care taken in
manufacturing and testing procedures, repair should be
carried out by an after-sales service centre for SKIL
power tools
- send the tool undismantled together with proof of
purchase to your dealer or the nearest SKIL service
station (addresses as well as the service diagram of
the tool are listed on www.skilmasters.com)
ENVIRONMENT
• Do not dispose of electric tools, accessories and
packaging together with household waste material
(only for EU countries)
