OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING!
Always securely clamp and support the workpiece. Always maintain proper control of the
saw. Failure to clamp and support the workpiece and loss of control of the saw could result in
serious injury.
1. Remove the battery pack.
2. Adjust the angle of cut to any desired setting between 0° and 50°.
3. Attach the battery pack.
4. Align the cutting line with the 45° blade guide notch on the base when making 45° bevel cuts.
NOTE:
The saw blade aligns with the middle of the guide notch. Make a trial cut in a scrap material along
a guideline to determine how much to offset the cutting guideline on the cutting material.
WARNING!
Attempting a bevel cut without having the bevel-adjustment knob securely locked in place
can result in serious injury.
5. Hold the saw firmly with both hands, as shown.
6. Rest the front edge of the base on the workpiece without touching the blade to the workpiece.
7. Start the saw and allow the blade to reach full speed.
8. Guide the saw into the workpiece and make the cut.
9. Release the trigger switch and allow the blade to come to a complete stop.
10. Lift the saw from the workpiece.
WARNING!
If the blade comes in contact with the workpiece before it reaches full speed, it could cause
the saw to kick back towards you, possibly resulting in serious injury.
0° Bevel stop
The saw has a 0° bevel stop that has been adjusted before shipment to assure that the blade is vertical to
the base at 0° bevel cutting.
