To turn the saw OFF, move the switch downward. 3. To lock the switch in the OFF position, grasp the end (or yellow part) of the safety switch key (1), and pull it out. 4. With the safety removal key removed, the switch will not operate. 5. if the safety removal key is removed while the saw is running, it can be turned OFF but cannot be restarted without inserting the switch key (1). Fig. NN TiLTiNG THE BLADE Two methods are available for tilting the saw blade. Rapid blade tilting: Loosen the bevel lock handle (2), move the handwheel (1) to the desired angle, then tighten the bevel lock handle. Fine adjustment blade tilting: Loosen the bevel lock handle (2), push in the handwheel (1) and at the same time turn the handwheel (1) to tilt the saw blade. When the saw blade is at the desired angle, tighten the bevel lock handle (2). ON/OFF SWITCH (FIG. NN) The ON / OFF switch has a safety removal key. With the key removed from the switch, unauthorized and hazardous use by children and others is minimized. 1. To turn the saw ON, insert the safety switch key (1) into the slot in the switch (2). Move the switch upward to the ON position. OVERLOAD PROTECTION (FIG. NN) This saw has an overload reset button (3) that resets the motor after it shuts off due to overloading or low voltage, if the motor stops during operation, turn the ON / OFF switch to the OFF position. Wait about five minutes for the motor to cool, the push the reset button (3) and turn the switch to the ON position. [_ WARNING] To avoid injury, the ON / OFF switch should be in the OFF position and the plug removed from the power source while the cool down takes place, to prevent accidental starting when the reset button is pushed. Overheating may be caused by misaligned parts or a dull blade or undersized extensing cord. inspect your saw for proper setup before using it again.

THE
BLADE
Two methods are available for tilting
the saw blade.
Rapid blade tilting:
Loosen the bevel lock handle (2), move

(1) to the desired angle,
then tighten the bevel lock handle.
Fine adjustment
blade tilting:
Loosen the bevel lock handle (2), push
in

is
at
the desired angle, tighten the bevel
lock handle (2).
ON/OFF
SWITCH
(FIG.
NN)
The ON
/
OFF switch has a safety
removal key. With the key removed from
the switch,
unauthorized
and hazardous
use by children and others
is
minimized.
1. To turn the saw ON,
