Adjusting depth of cut
CAUTION:
• After adjusting the depth of cut, always tighten the lever
securely.
Loosen the lever on the side of the rear handle and move the
base up or down. At the desired depth of cut, secure the
base by tightening the lever.
For cleaner, safer cuts, set cut depth so that no more than
one blade tooth projects below workpiece. Using proper cut
depth helps to reduce potential for dangerous KICKBACKS
which can cause personal injury.
Bevel cutting
Loosen the clamping screw on the bevel scale plate on the
front of the base. Set for the desired angle (0
° - 50°) by tilting
accordingly, then tighten the clamping screw securely.
Sighting
For straight cuts, align the A position on the front of the base
with your cutting line. For 45
° bevel cuts, align the B position
with it.
Switch action
CAUTION:
• Before inserting the battery cartridge into the tool,
always check to see that the switch trigger actuates
properly and returns to the “OFF” position when
released.
