OPERATION STARTING/STOPPING THE SAW See Figure 9, page 16. To start the saw: Depress the switch. Always let the blade reach full speed, then guide the saw into the workpiece. WARNING: The blade coming in contact with the workpiece before it reaches full speed could cause the saw to "kick back" towards you resulting in serious injury. To stop the saw: Release the switch. After you release the switch, allow the blade to come to a complete stop. Do not remove the saw from the workpiece while the blade is moving. ADJUSTING BLADE DEPTH See Figure 10, page 16. Always keep correct blade depth setting. Less than a full tooth of the blade teeth should be visible below the workpiece. More blade depth will increase the chance of kickback and cause the cut to be rough. For more depth of cut accuracy, a scale is located on the upper blade guard. To adjust the blade depth: Unplug the saw. Pull depth lock lever upward to release. The depth lock lever is located between the guard and handle of the saw. Determine the desired depth of cut. Locate depth of cut scale and index point on back of upper blade guard. Hold base flat against the workpiece and raise or lower saw until the index point (or reference mark) on bracket aligns with notch on blade guard. Push down on the depth lock lever to lock the lever in place and secure the position. USING THE LASER GUIDE See Figure 11, page 16. WARNING: Do not stare into the laser beam or turn the laser on when the tool is not in use. Failure to heed this warning could result in possible serious personal injury. The laser unit comes from the factory already installed and aligned. If the laser becomes misaligned after time refer to the Adjustments section. NOTE: Make a trial cut on a piece of scrap to ensure laser is aligned. Adjusting the laser may be necessary. Mark the line to be cut on the workpiece. Adjust the depth and angle of the cut as needed and lock the depth and bevel settings. Connect the saw to a power supply. Depress the switch to start the motor. The laser guide will turn on when the switch is depressed and turn off when the switch is released. NOTE: Do not touch the blade to the workpiece until the saw has reached maximum speed. Slowly push the saw forward into the workpiece. NOTE: Keep the laser beam on the marked line on the workpiece for precision cutting. Once the cut is complete, allow the saw to come to a complete stop. The laser will turn off when the switch is released. OPERATING THE SAW See Figures 12 - 14, page 17. It is important to understand the correct method for operating the saw. Refer to the figures in this section to learn the correct and incorrect ways for handling the saw. WARNING: To make sawing easier and safer, always maintain proper control of the saw, by holding the saw with both hands. Loss of control could cause an accident resulting in possible serious injury. DANGER: When lifting the saw from the workpiece, the blade is exposed on the underside of the saw until the lower blade guard closes. Make sure the lower blade guard is closed before setting the saw down. 10 - English
