OPERATION
■ When making a cut use steady, even pressure.
Never force cuts.
■ Do not cut warped or wet lumber.
■ Always hold your saw firmly with both hands and
keep your body in a balanced position so as to
resist the forces of kickback should it occur.
When using your saw, always stay alert and
exercise control. Do not remove your saw from
workpiece white the blade is moving.
DEPTH OF CUT ADJUSTMENT
Always keep correct blade depth setting. The correct
blade depth setting for all cuts should not exceed 1/4
inch below the material to be cut. More blade depth
will increase the chance of kickback and cause the cut
to be rough. One blade tooth below the material to be
cut works best for most efficient cutting action.
TO ADJUST BLADE DEPTH
■ Remove battery pack from saw.
WARNING: Failure to remove battery pack from
saw could result in accidental starting causing
possible serious personal injury.
