OPERATION NOTE: Always raise the lower blade guard with the handle to avoid serious injury. Hold the lower blade guard by the handle. WARNING: Never extend your fingers while holding the lower blade guard handle. Extending your fingers could result in contact with the blade, causing serious injury. Rest the front of the base flat against the workpiece with the rear of the handle raised so the blade does not touch the workpiece. Start the saw and let the blade reach full speed. Guide the saw into the workpiece and make the cut. 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 back toward you. Release the trigger and allow the blade to come to a complete stop. Lift the saw from the workpiece. Clear corners out with a hand saw or sabre saw. WARNING: Never tie the lower blade guard in a raised position. Leaving the blade exposed could lead to serious injury. ADJUSTMENTS WARNING: To prevent accidental starting that could cause serious personal injury, always remove the battery pack from the product when making adjustments. 0° BEVEL STOP See Figure 20, page 14.
