OPERATION

POCKET CUTTING

See Figure 22, page 17.
WARNING:
Always adjust bevel setting to zero before making
a pocket cut. Attempting a pocket cut at any other
setting can result in loss of control of the saw
possibly causing serious injury.
 Adjust the bevel setting to zero.
 Set the blade to the correct blade depth setting, depend-
ing on the material to be cut.
 Swing the lower blade guard up using the lower blade
guard handle.
NOTE: Always raise the lower blade guard with the handle
to avoid serious injury.
 Hold the lower blade guard by the handle while keeping
your hand on the front handle as shown.

ADJUSTMENTS

ADJUSTING THE DEPTH LOCK LEVER
See Figure 23, page 17.
Over time, due to wear, the depth lock lever may move from
its original setting. If the lever prematurely contacts any part
of the saw during tightening and loosening, adjust the lever
by following these steps:
 Unplug the saw.
 Pull depth lock lever upward to release.
 Pull saw base down to the minimum depth of cut position,
then push the depth lock lever down to secure.
 Insert a flathead screwdriver into the space between the
lock nut and the E-ring. Remove the E-ring.
 Note the position of the lever on the nut. Slide the depth
lock lever off the lock nut.
 The lock nut has six flat sides. Rotate the depth lock lever
one "flat" counter clockwise around the nut. Then slide it
back into place.
 Rest the front of the base flat against the workpiece with
the rear of the handle raised so the blade does not touch
the workpiece.
 Start the saw and let the blade reach full speed.
 Guide the saw into the workpiece and make the cut.
WARNING:
Always cut in a forward direction when pocket
cutting. Cutting in the reverse direction could
cause the saw to climb up on the workpiece and
back toward you.
 Release the trigger and allow the blade to come to a
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.
 Push the E-ring back into the groove on the lock nut until
it snaps into place. Take care that the E-ring does not
pop off the lock nut.
 Loosen the depth lock lever and return the base to the
full depth of cut position and lock the depth setting by
pushing downward on the depth lock lever. The base
should be locked securely in position when locked and
be free to move when released.
ADJUSTING THE BEVEL LOCK LEVER
