- push spindle-lock button C and hold it while you
tighten blade bolt with hex key 1/8 turn past fi nger
tight (ensures slippage of saw blade when it
encounters excessive resistance thus reducing motor
overload and saw kickback)
- release spindle-lock button C
• Adjusting cutting depth (0-85 mm) 4
- for an optimal quality cut the saw blade should not
extend more than 3 mm below the workpiece
- loosen lever J
- raise/lower foot K until desired cutting depth is set on
scale using indicator L
- tighten lever J
• Adjusting cutting angle (0-45°) 5
- loosen 2 knobs M
- tilt tool until desired cutting angle is set on scale
using indicator N
- tighten 2 knobs M
! when bevel cutting, cutting depth does not
correspond with value on cutting depth scale
• 90° Cutting angle check 6
- adjust and tighten foot K to maximum cutting depth 4
- adjust and tighten cutting angle to 0°
- check for 90° angle between the blade and bottom of
foot with a square
- if adjustment is needed, loosen 2 knobs M and use
adjustment screw P as illustrated
• Line-of-cut indicator Q 7
- for guiding tool along desired line of cut marked on
the workpiece
- for a straight 0° cut or a 45° bevel cut use the
indicator line concerned
- allows you to choose whether waste material is on
inner or outer side of blade
! the wide part of the foot should rest on the
supported part of the workpiece
! cutting width is determined by width of blade
teeth and not by width of blade body
! always make trial cuts first to verify actual line of
cut
• Electronic soft-start 8
Ensures reaching the maximum speed smoothly without
a sudden impact when tool is switched on
• Dust suction
- connect vacuum cleaner to extension R 9
! never let the vacuum cleaner hose interfere with
the lower guard or the cutting operation
- one may also use a dust bag (SKIL accessory
2610387402)
• Operating the tool 9
- connect plug to power source
- always hold handle S fi rmly with one hand and
handle T fi rmly with the other hand
- place tool with front end of foot fl at on workpiece
! ensure that the saw teeth are not engaged into
the workpiece
- switch on tool by fi rst pressing knob U (= safety
switch which cannot be locked) and then pulling
trigger V

APPLICATION ADVICE
• Always face the good side of the workpiece down to
• Only use sharp saw blades of the correct type 0
• Rip fence W !
• Plunge cutting @
• Cutting large panels #
• Vibration level
10
! the tool should run at full speed before the blade
enters into the workpiece
- lower guard F opens automatically when saw blade
enters the workpiece (open lower guard manually by
using lever G only for special cuts such as plunge
cuts)
- do not force the tool; apply light and continuous
pressure
- after completing the cut switch off tool by releasing
trigger V
! ensure that the blade has come to a complete
standstill, before you lift the tool from the
workpiece
ensure minimum splintering
- quality of cut improves by the number of teeth
- carbide tipped blades stay sharp up to 30 times
longer than ordinary blades
- for making exact cuts along a workpiece edge
- can be inserted in either side of foot
Adjusting rip fence
- loosen knob X
- adjust to desired cutting width by using rip fence
scale (use line-of-cut indicator Q as 0-reference)
- tighten knob X
- set desired cutting depth
- tilt tool forward with line-of-cut indicator Q lined up
with desired line of cut marked on the workpiece
- open lower guard F with lever G
- just before blade enters workpiece, switch on tool
and gradually lower back end of tool using front end
of foot as hinge-point
- gradually move tool downward as well as forward
- as soon as blade enters the material, release lever G
! the tool should run at full speed before the blade
enters into the workpiece
! never pull tool backwards
- support panel close to the cut either on fl oor, table or
workbench
! set cutting depth so that you cut through panel
and not through support
- in case rip fence does not allow desired width of cut,
clamp or nail straight piece of wood to workpiece as
a guide, and use the left side of the foot against this
guide
The vibration emission level stated at the back of this
instruction manual has been measured in accordance
with a standardised test given in EN 60745; it may be
used to compare one tool with another and as a
preliminary assessment of exposure to vibration when
using the tool for the applications mentioned
