OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
12. PocketCutting
WARNING: Always adjust the bevel setting to 0°
before making a pocket cut. Attempting a pocket cut at
any other setting can result in loss of control of the saw
and possible serious injury.
a. Adjust the bevel setting to 0° and tighten the bevel
locking knob.
b. Set the blade to the correct blade-depth setting and
tighten the depth-locking lever (
M
).
c. Swing the lower blade guard up using the blade-
guard lever (
H
).
d. Hold the lower blade guard in place with the blade
guard lever.
e. Rest the front of the base at against the workpiece,
with the rear of the handle raised so that the blade
does not touch the workpiece.
f. Press the lock-off button and depress the trigger switch to start the saw.
g. Allow the blade to reach full speed, then guide the saw into the workpiece and make the cut.
h. Release the trigger switch and allow the blade to come to a complete stop.
i. Lift the saw from the workpiece.
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 kick back toward the operator.
WARNING: As the blade starts cutting the material, release the blade-guard lever immediately.
When the foot of the guard rests at on the surface being cut, proceed cutting in a forward direction to
the end of the cut.
WARNING: Never tie the lower blade guard in a raised position. Leaving the blade exposed
could lead to serious injury.
