This will be helpful because of the number of different blade types and thicknesses available. To ensure minimum splintering on the good side of the material to be cut, face the good side down. -9 FIG. 5 FIG. 6BEVEL ADJUSTMENT LEVER BLADE 90° FOOT ALIGNMENT SCREW QUADRANT BEVEL ADJUSTMENT LEVER 45° STOP 45° 90° SPRING BEVEL CUTS VERTICAL CUTS FIG. 8 PUSH 45° STOP SPRING IN DIRECTION OF ARROW FOR 50° BM 2610909797 6/00 7/14/00 8:39 AM Page 10 SWITCH When starting the tool, hold it with both hands. ! WARNING The torque from the motor can cause the tool to twist. To turn tool “ON”, squeeze the trigger switch. To turn the tool “OFF”, release the trigger switch, which is spring loaded and will return to the off position automatically. Your saw should be running at full speed BEFORE starting the cut, and turned off only AFTER completing the cut. To increase switch life, do not turn switch on and off while cutting. GENERAL CUTS Always hold the saw handle with one hand and the auxiliary handle or housing with the other. ! WARNING Always be sure either hand does not interfere with the free movement of the lower guard. Maintain a firm grip and operate the switch with a decisive action. Never force the saw. Use light and continuous pressure. ! WARNING After completing a cut and the trigger has been released, be aware of the necessary time it takes for the blade to come to a complete stop during coast down. Do not allow the saw to brush against your leg or side, since the lower guard is retractable, it could catch on your clothing and expose the blade. Be aware of the necessary blade exposures that exist in both the upper and lower guard areas. When cutting is interrupted, to resume cutting: squeeze the trigger and allow the blade to reach full speed, re-enter the cut slowly and resume cutting. When cutting across the grain, the fibers of the wood have a tendency to tear and lift. Advancing the saw slowly minimizes this effect. For a finished cut, a cross cut blade or miter blade is recommended. CUTTING MASONRY/METAL This tool is not recommended for continuous and general usage with metal or masonry cutoff wheels. If you use your saw for cutting these materials, use the appropriate wheel for the material being cut. When cutting masonry, do not cut a depth of more than 1/4 inch (6 mm). Make successive passes to achieve desired depth. Apply a light forward pressure. Do not overload motor. Disconnect plug from power source and clean dust from air vents frequently. Metal cutting is done at full depth. ! WARNING Clean guards frequently to assure a rapid return of lower guard. The lower guard may become sluggish when cutting masonry materials. ! WARNING Abrasive Cut Off Wheels must have a maximum safe operating speed greater than the “no load RPM” marked on the tool’s nameplate. Wheels running over the rated speed can fly apart and cause injury. ! WARNING Do not use the abrasive cut off wheel near flammable materials. Sparks from the wheel could ignite these materials. ! WARNING This machine is not intended to be used with Wet Diamond Wheels. Using water or other liquid coolants with this machine may result in electrocution or shock. Use of Dry Diamond Wheels is acceptable. POCKET CUTS Disconnect the plug from the power source before making adjustments. Set depth adjustment according to material to be cut. Tilt saw forward with cutting guide notch lined up with the line you’ve drawn. Raise the lower guard, using lift lever or retracting handle and hold the saw by the front and rear handles (Fig. 9). LOWER GUARD LIFT LEVER LINE GUIDE FOOT FIG. 9 RETRACTING HANDLE With the blade just clearing the material to be cut, start the motor. Gradually lower the back end of saw using the front end of the foot as the hinge point. ! WARNING As blade starts cutting the material, release the lower guard immediately. When the foot rests flat on the surface being cut, proceed cutting in forward direction to end of cut. -10 BM 2610909797 6/00 7/14/00 8:40 AM Page 11 !

Also, never pull the saw your pocket cut are not completely cut through, backward since blade will climb out of the use a jigsaw or hand saw to finish the corners. material and KICKBACK will occur. CUTTING LARGE SHEETS Large sheets and long boards sag or bend, depending on support. If you attempt to cut without leveling and properly supporting the piece, the blade will tend to bind, causing KICK-BACK and extra load on the motor (Fig. 10). Support the panel or board close to the cut, as shown in (Fig. 11). Be sure to set the depth of the cut so that you cut through the sheet or board only and not the table or work bench. The two-by-fours used to raise and support the work should be positioned so that the broadest sides support the work and rest on the table or bench. Do not support the work with the narrow sides as t...
