the switch is depressed. Allow the blade to spin up to full
operating speed before making the cut. To turn the saw off,

Dust Extraction (Fig. A, L)
WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal
injury, turn tool off and remove the battery pack
before transporting, making any adjustments or
removing/installing attachments or accessories.
An accidental start-up can cause injury.
Your saw has a built-in dust port
the supplied dust bag
42
or a shop vacuum system to
be connected.
To Attach the Dust Bag
1. Fit the dust bag
42
to the dust port
Figure L1.
2. A vacuum tube can be fitted to the dust port rather than
the dust bag. This can be done by fitting your vacuum
tube in place of the dust bag.
3. Use the velcro strap
to hold your vacuum tube clear
45
from the sliding rails while operating the saw as shown
in Figure L2.
nOTE: The velcro strap is not a carrying handle and should
not be used to move or transport the saw.
To Empty the Dust Bag
1. Remove dust bag
42
from the saw and gently shake or
tap the dust bag to empty.
2. Reattach the dust bag back onto the dust port
You may notice that all the dust will not come free from the
bag. This will not affect cutting performance but will reduce
the saw's dust collection efficiency. To restore your saw's
dust collection efficiency, depress the spring inside the dust
bag when you are emptying it and tap it on the side of the
trash can or dust receptacle.
CAUTION: Never operate this saw unless the dust
bag or dust extractor is in place. Wood dust may
create a breathing hazard.
