OPERATION BEVEL CUTTING See Figures 16 - 18, pages 15 and 16. The angle of cut of the saw may be adjusted to any desired setting between zero and 50°. NOTE: When making cuts at 50°, the blade should be set at full depth of cut. Since blade thicknesses vary and different angles require different settings, always make a trial cut in scrap material along a guideline to determine how much you should offset the guideline on the board to be cut. When making a bevel cut, hold the saw firmly with both hands. Rest the front edge of the base on the workpiece. Depress the lock-off button and squeeze the switch trigger to start the saw. 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 saw to "kickback" toward you resulting in serious injury. After you complete your cut release the trigger and allow the blade to come to a complete stop. After the blade has stopped, lift the saw from the workpiece. TO ADJUST BEVEL SETTING See Figures 16 - 18, pages 15 and 16. Remove the battery pack. Rotate bevel lock lever counterclockwise until the motor housing moves freely. Raise the motor housing end of the saw until you reach the desired angle setting on the bevel scale (0-50°). Rotate the bevel lock lever clockwise until the motor housing is securely locked in place. WARNING: Attempting a bevel cut without having the bevel lock lever securely locked in place can result in serious injury. POCKET CUTTING See Figure 19, page 16. WARNING: Always adjust bevel setting to zero before making a pocket cut. Attempting a pocket cut at any other setting can result in loss of control of the saw possibly causing serious injury. Adjust the bevel setting to zero. Set the blade to the correct blade depth setting. Swing the lower blade guard up using the lower blade guard handle. 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 may result in contact with the blade, causing serious injury. Rest the front of the base flat against the workpiece with the rear handle raised so the blade does not touch the workpiece. DANGER: Always check to ensure that your fingers are clear of the blade before squeezing the switch trigger. Contact with the blade will cause serious injury. Depress the lock-off button and squeeze the switch trigger to start the saw. Always let the blade reach full speed then slowly lower blade into the workpiece until base is flat against workpiece. 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 jig saw. 10 - English
