when it is no longer easy to push the saw through
the cut, when the motor is straining, or when
excessive heat is built up in the blade. It is a good
practice to keep extra blades on hand so that sharp
blades are available for immediate use. Dull blades
can be sharpened in most areas.
Hardened gum on the blade can be removed with
kerosene, turpentine, or oven cleaner. Anti-stick
coated blades can be used in applications where
excessive build-up is encountered, such as pressure
treated and green lumber.

Rechargeable Battery Pack
This long life battery pack must be recharged when
it fails to produce sufficient power on jobs which
were easily done before. At the end of its technical
life, discard it with due care for our environment:
• Run the battery pack down completely, then
remove it from the tool.

used in these parts. Use a cloth
dampened only with water and mild
soap. Never let any liquid get inside the
tool; never immerse any part of the tool
into a liquid.
LOWER GUARD
The lower guard should always rotate and close
freely from a fully open to fully closed position.
Always check for correct operation before cutting
by fully opening the guard and letting it close. If the
guard closes slowly or not completely, it will need
cleaning or servicing. Do not use the saw until it
functions correctly. To clean the guard, use dry air
or a soft brush to remove all accumulated sawdust
or debris from the path of the guard and from
around the guard spring. Should this not correct the
problem, it will need to be serviced by an authorized
service center.
Base Plate Adjustment (Fig. 5, 28, 29)
Your base plate has been factory set to assure that
the blade is perpendicular to the base plate. If after
extended use you need to re-align the blade, follow
the directions below:
ADJUSTING FOR 90 DEGREE CUTS
1. Return the saw to 0degrees bevel.
2. Place the saw on its side, and retract the lower
guard.
3. Set the depth of cut to 51mm.
4. Loosen the bevel adjustment lever (Fig. 29, G).
Place a square against the blade and the base
plate as shown in Figure28.
5. Using a wrench (W, Fig. 5), turn the set screw
(AN, Fig. 28) on the underside of the base plate
until the blade and the base plate are both in
flush contact with the square. Retighten the
bevel adjustment lever.
ADJUSTING BEVEL ADJUSTMENT LEVER (FIG. 29)
It may be desirable to adjust the bevel adjustment
lever (G). It may loosen in time and hit the base
plate before tighten ing.
To Tighten the Lever:
1. Hold the bevel adjustment lever (G) and loosen
the bevel locknut (AO).
2. Adjust the bevel adjustment lever by rotating
it in the desired direction about 1/8 of a
revolution.
3. Retighten nut.
Blades
A dull blade will cause inefficient cutting, overload
on the saw motor, excessive splintering and
increase the possibility of kickback. Change blades
