complete stop.
 Lift the saw from the workpiece.
 Clear corners out with a hand saw or sabre saw.
WARNING:
Never tie the lower blade guard in a raised position.
Leaving the blade exposed could lead to serious injury.

OPERATION
To use edge guide:
 Secure the workpiece.
 Position the face of the edge guide firmly against the edge
of workpiece.
 Guide the saw along the edge to achieve a straight rip

straight for the cut to be straight. Use caution to prevent
the blade from binding in the cut.

Before performing any adjustment, make sure the battery
pack is removed from tool and the switch is in the OFF
position. Failure to heed this warning could result in
serious personal injury.
