• Always secure work to prevent workpiece movement during cut.
• Do not try to force saw back on line if your cut begins to go off line. This can
cause KICKBACK. Stop saw and allow blade to coast down to a stop. Withdraw
from cut and start a new cut on the line.
• Set depth adjustment of saw such that one tooth of the blade projects below the
workpiece as shown (Fig. 7).
• Do not back up a rotating blade in the cut. Twisting the saw can cause the back
edge of the blade to dig into the material, climb out of the work and run back
toward the operator.
• Avoid cutting nails. Inspect for and remove all nails from lumber before cutting.
• Some wood contains preservatives such as copper chromium arsenate (CCA)
which can be toxic. When cutting these materials, extra care should be taken to
avoid inhalation and minimize skin contact.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Motor
Be sure your power supply agrees with nameplate marking.
120 volts, AC only means your tool may be operated only with alternating
current and never with direct current.
Voltage decrease of more than 10% will cause loss of power and overheating. All
tools are factory tested; if this tool does not operate, check the power supply.
ASSEMBLY/ADJUSTMENT SET-UP
WARNING:
Always unplug saw from power supply before any of the
following operations.
ATTACHING BLADE
NOTE: The first time the blade bolt is removed from saw without a blade installed,
it may be necessary to place the blade wrench on the bolt head and tap it sharply
in the counter clockwise direction. Retract lower guard and assemble blade and
clamp washers, as shown in Fig. 9. Ensure large surface of outer clamp washer is
toward blade, as shown in Fig. 9. To prevent blade rotation while tightening the
blade clamping screw, raise the lower guard and place the saw down on a piece
of scrap wood.The blade teeth will dig into the scrap wood and prevent rotation
while you tighten the blade clamping screw. Tighten the blade clamping screw
securely, using the wrench provided.

CUTTING DEPTH ADJUSTMENT
Adjust depth of cut using depth adjustment knob. See (Figs. 6 & 7) for proper
setting. Tighten knob securely.
BEVEL ANGLE ADJUSTMENT
Adjust bevel angle (Fig. 8) using bevel adjustment knob and bevel scale. Tighten
knob securely.
KERF PLATE ADJUSTMENT
Adjust kerf plate (Fig. 9) to read zero when the bevel scale reads zero by
loosening the kerf plate screw and sliding the plate as necessary. Align mark on
kerf plate with drawn pencil line and advance blade into cut. The kerf plate has
lines for zero bevel and 45 degree bevel cutting.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING:
To reduce the risk of serious personal injury, read,
understand and follow all important safety warnings and
instructions prior to using tool.
GENERAL CUTS
IMPORTANT: Read safety warnings and instructions.
GUARD AGAINST KICKBACK
With tool unplugged, follow all assembly, adjustment and set up instructions.
Make sure lower guard operates. Select the proper blade for the material to be cut.
• Measure and mark work for cutting.
• Support and secure work properly (See Safety Rules and Instructions).
• Use appropriate and required safety equipment (See Safety Rules).
• Secure and maintain work area (See Safety Rules).
• Plug in saw. Make sure switch turns saw on and off.
• When operating the saw, keep the cord away from the cutting area and
position it so that it will not be caught in the workpiece or drag on its edge
during the cutting operation.
USE OF EXTENSION CORDS
Make sure the extension cord is in good condition before using. Always use the
proper size extension cords with the tool – that is, proper wire size for various
lengths of cord and heavy enough to carry the current the tool will draw. Use of
an undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power
and overheating. For proper size cords see chart on next page.
