OPERATION
OPERATING THE SAW
See Figures 12 - 14, pages 13 - 14.
Itisimportanttounderstandthecorrectmethodforoperat-
ingthesaw.Refertothefiguresinthissectiontolearnthe
correctandincorrectwaysforhandlingthesaw.
DANGER:
Whenliftingthesawfromtheworkpiece,thebladeis
exposed on the underside of the saw until the lower
bladeguardcloses.Makesurethelowerbladeguardis
closedbeforesettingthesawdown.
WARNING:
To make sawing easier and safer, always maintain
propercontrolofthesaw.Lossofcontrolcouldcause
anaccidentresultinginpossibleseriousinjury.
Tomakethebestpossiblecut,followthesehelpfulhints.
 Holdthesawfirmlywithbothhands.
 Avoidplacingyourhandontheworkpiecewhilemaking
acut.
 Supporttheworkpiecesothatthecut(kerf)isalwaysto
yourside.
 Supporttheworkpiecenearthecut.
 Clamptheworkpiecesecurelysothattheworkpiecewill
notmoveduringthecut.
 Alwaysplacethesawontheworkpiecethatissupported,
notthe“cutoff”piece.
 Placetheworkpiecewiththe“good”sidedown.
 Drawa guideline along the desired line of cut before
beginningyourcut.
CROSS CUTTING/RIP CUTTING
See Figure 15, page 14.
Whenmakingacrosscutorripcut,alignthelineofcutwith
the0°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 16, page 14.
NOTE :Youmayalsouseaedgeguidetomakeripcuts.
Refer to OPTIONAL EDGE GUIDE laterinthismanual.
Useaguidewhenmakinglongorwideripcutswiththesaw.
 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.
WIDTH OF CUT SCALE
See Figure 17, page 14.
Awidthofcutscalehasbeenprovidedonthebaseofthe
saw.Whenmakingstraightcrosscutsorripcuts,thescale
canbeusedtomeasureupto4-1/2in.ontherightsideof
theblade,andupto1in.ontheleftsideoftheblade.
BEVEL CUTTING
See Figures 18-19, page 14.
 Alignthelineofcutwiththe45°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50°.Referto Adjusting the Bevel Settingnext.
ADJUSTING THE BEVEL SETTING
See Figure 18, page 14.
Removethebatterypack.
 Loosenthebevellockknob.
 Raisethemotorhousingendofthesawuntilyoureach
thedesiredanglesettingonthebevelscale.
 Tightenthebevellockknobsecurely.
WARNING:
Attempting a bevel cut without having the bevel
adjustmentknobsecurelytightenedcanresultinserious
injury.
MAKING A BEVEL CUT
See Figure 19, page 14.
 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.
