English FIG. 11 INSTALL RIP FENCE IN THIS DIRECTION RIPPING (FIG. 11) Ripping is the process of cutting wider boards into narrower strips - cutting grain lengthwise. Hand guiding is more difficult for this type of sawing and the use of a rip fence is recommended. POCKET CUTTING (FIG. 12) FIG. 12 CAUTION: Never tie the blade guard in a raised position. Never move the saw backwards when pocket cutting. This may cause the unit to raise up off the work surface which could cause injury. A pocket cut is one that is made in a floor, wall, or other flat surface. 1. Adjust the saw shoe so the blade cuts at desired depth. 2. Tilt the saw forward and rest front of the shoe on material to be cut. 3. Using the retracting lever, retract lower blade guard to an upward position. Lower rear of shoe until blade teeth almost touch cutting line. 4. Release the blade guard (its contact with the work will keep it in position to open freely as you start the cut). Remove hand from guard lever and firmly grip auxilary handle, as shown in Figure 12. Position your body and arm to allow you to resist kickback if it occurs. 5. Make sure blade is not in contact with cutting surface before starting saw. 6. Start the motor and gradually lower the saw until its shoe rests flat on the material to be cut. Advance saw along the cutting line until cut is completed. 7. Release trigger and allow blade to stop completely before withdrawing the blade from the material. 8. When starting each new cut, repeat as above. MAINTENANCE WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal injury, turn tool off and disconnect tool from power source before making any adjustments or removing/installing attachments or accessories. Cleaning WARNING: Blow dirt and dust out of all air vents with clean, dry air at least once a week. To minimize the risk of eye injury, always wear ANSI Z87.1 approved eye protection when performing this. WARNING: Never use solvents or other harsh chemicals for cleaning the non-metallic parts of the tool. These chemicals may weaken the plastic materials 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. CHARGER CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS WARNING: Shock hazard. Disconnect the charger from the AC outlet before cleaning. Dirt and grease may be removed from the exterior of the charger using a cloth or soft non-metallic brush. Do not use water or any cleaning solutions. 17

INSTALL RIP FENCE
IN THIS DIRECTION
FIG. 11
RIPPING (FIG. 11)
Ripping is the process of cutting wider boards into narrower strips –

sawing and the use of a rip fence is recommended.
POCKET CUTTING (FIG. 12)
FIG. 12
CAUTION:
Never tie the
blade guard in a raised
position. Never move the
saw backwards when pocket
cutting. This may cause the
unit to raise up off the work
surface which could cause
injury.
A pocket cut is one that is
made in a floor, wall, or other
flat surface.
1. Adjust the saw shoe so the blade cuts at desired depth.
2. Tilt the saw forward and rest front of the shoe on material to be
cut.
3. Using the retracting lever, retract lower blade guard to an upward
position. Lower rear of shoe until blade teeth almost touch
cutting line.
4. Release the blade guard (its contact with the work will keep it
in position to open freely as you start the cut). Remove hand
from guard lever and firmly grip auxilary handle, as shown in
Figure 12. Position your body and arm to allow you to resist
kickback if it occurs.
5. Make sure blade is not in contact with cutting surface before
starting saw.
6. Start the motor and gradually lower the saw until its shoe rests
flat on the material to be cut. Advance saw along the cutting line
until cut is completed.
7. Release trigger and allow blade to stop completely before
withdrawing the blade from the material.
8. When starting each new cut, repeat as above.
