OPERATION

the desired angle setting on the bevel scale (0-50°).

NOTE: There are detentes in the bevel scale to make it

easier to set the blade angle at 45°, 30°, 22.5°, or 15°.

Rotate the bevel adjustment lever clockwise until the

motor housing is securely locked in place.

WARNING:

Attempting a bevel cut without having the bevel

adjustment lever securely locked in place can result

in serious injury.

POCKET CUTTING

See Figure 21, 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.

WARNING:

Never extend your fingers while holding the lower

blade guard handle. Extending your fingers may

result in contact with the blade, causing serious

injury.

 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.

DANGER:

Always check to insure that your fingers are clear

of the blade before depressing the switch trigger.

Contact with the blade will cause serious injury.

 Depress the lock-off button and squeeze the switch trigger

to start the saw. Always let the blade reach full speed

then slowly lower blade into the workpiece until base is

flat against workpiece.

 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 jig saw.

WARNING:

Before performing any adjustment, make sure the

battery pack is removed from the saw and the

switch is in the OFF position. Failure to heed this

warning could result in serious personal injury.

POSITIVE 0° BEVEL STOP

See Figure 22, page 18.

The saw has a positive 0° bevel stop that has been factory

adjusted to assure 0° angle of the saw blade when making

90° cuts. However, misalignment can occur during shipping.

To check positive 0° bevel stop:

 Remove the battery pack from the saw.

 Place the saw in an upside down position on a workbench.

ADJUSTMENTS

 Move the lower blade guard out of the way so that the

saw blade is exposed.

 Check the squareness of the saw blade to the base of

the saw using a combination square.

To adjust positive 0° bevel stop:

 Remove the battery pack from the saw.

 Rotate the bevel adjustment lever counterclockwise to

release.

 Turn TORX® T-8 adjustment screw with TORX® T-8 wrench

and adjust base until it is square with the saw blade.

 Securely lock the bevel adjustment lever.

WARNING:

Attempting a bevel cut without having the bevel

adjustment lever securely locked in place can

result in serious injury.
