Aligning the Fence
1. After adjusting the miter or bevel setting,
check and adjust both sides of the fence.
2. Loosen one of the Fence Knobs, and move its

3. Tighten the Fence Knob. Make sure that the
Sliding Fence still does not contact the Blade.
4. Repeat the process for the other
Fence Knob and Sliding Fence.
Workpiece and Work Area Set Up
1. Designate a work area that is clean and well lit.
The work area must not allow access by children
or pets to prevent distraction and injury.
2. Route the power cord along a safe route to reach
the work area without creating a tripping hazard or
exposing the power cord to possible damage. The
power cord must reach the work area with enough
extra length to allow free movement while working.
3. Secure loose workpieces using a vise or clamps
(not included) to prevent movement while working.
4. There must not be objects, such as utility lines,
nearby that will present a hazard while working.
5. Cut only the following materials:
Dimensional lumber, plywood, particle board, plastic.
Note: Use caution to avoid overheating the cutting tips.
If cutting plastic, cut at an even pace to avoid melting it.
6. Allow room on both left and right sides
of saw for extended workpieces.
7. Use additional supports if needed to ensure
the stability of the workpiece. Mount the Saw
so that the surface is level to the ground, and
additional supports to provide a surface on the
same level as the saw table. If the work surface
and any workpiece supports are not level, and
on the same level, unwanted bevel angles will
appear in the cuts resulting in poor joinery.
8. Secure workpieces to the saw table using the Clamp
or other clamping devices (not included). Securing
the workpiece will provide safety by preventing kick
back and by removing the need to hold workpieces
near the blade by hand. Clamping the workpiece
will also improve cutting accuracy by preventing the
workpiece from moving during the cutting operation.
General Instructions for Use
1. Make sure that the Trigger is in the
off-position, then plug in the tool.
WARNING! The tool will restart automatically if stalled.
2. Unlock the Head Lock-Down Pin.
3. Check that all adjustment knobs are
tight (Miter Detent Lock Lever, Bevel
Lock Lever, Fence Lock Knobs).
4. Blow any sawdust or debris away from the Fence.
Place the work material against the Fence.
5. To use the Precision Blade Guide System to align
the cut, turn the Blade Guide System Switch to ON.
Pull the Saw Head down until the Saw Blade is close
to the workpiece and the Blade’s shadow appears
on the work material, indicating where the Blade
will cut. Align the marked location of the cut on the
workpiece with the edge of the Saw Blade shadow.
6. The Saw will also operate without using the
Precision Blade Guide System if desired. In that
case align the marked location of the cut on the
work material with the saw blade. To prevent the
workpiece from being cut too short, align the edge
of the blade with the measured mark, keeping the
rest of the blade on the waste side of the cut.
7. Hold the work material in place using the Clamp
or other clamping devices. Ensure that the work
material is level and supported securely. Use saw
horses or supports if necessary (not included).
DANGER! Saws can quickly
amputate fingers if misused.
Keep hands well clear of cutting area.
8. Grip the Saw Handle and squeeze
the Trigger to start the Saw.
9. Use two hands and hold workpiece securely
against table and fence at all times.
10. Press down lightly to cut the workpiece. Press
straight down, “chopping” the material. Do not bear

If the material binds the blade, release the Trigger.
11. When the cut is completed, raise the Saw
Head, release the Trigger, wait for the Blade
to stop turning, release the Clamp and
remove the workpiece from the Saw.
12. To prevent accidents, turn off the tool and
unplug it after use. Clean, then store the
tool indoors out of children’s reach.
13. Lock the head down and lock all other
adjustments before moving the saw. Use the
handle cut outs on each end of the base to
lift and support the Saw while moving it.
