OPERATION
WARNING:
When using the saw, always stay alert and exercise
control. Do not remove the saw from the workpiece
while the blade is moving.
SETTING BLADE DEPTH
See Figure 9, page 15.
Always keep correct blade depth setting. The correct blade
depth setting for all cuts should not exceed 1/4 in. below the
material being cut. More blade depth will increase the chance
of kickback and cause the cut to be rough. For more depth
of cut accuracy, a scale is located on the elevation bracket.
NOTE: The marks on the scale refer to the actual depth of
cut (blade exposure).
 Remove the battery pack.
 Pull depth lock lever upward to release. The depth lock
lever is located between the guard and handle of the saw.
 Determine the desired depth of cut.
 To select the depth of cut, hold base flat against the
workpiece. Raise or lower saw to align the desired mea-
surement on the scale with the depth arrow indicator,
located directly to the left of the depth lock mechanism.
 Push down on the depth lock lever to lock the base in
place and secure the position.
STARTING/STOPPING THE SAW
See Figure 10, page 15.
This saw is equipped with a LED worklight that will turn on
when the trigger is depressed and will turn off when the
trigger is released.
To start the saw: Depress the switch trigger.
Always let the blade reach full speed, then guide the saw
into the workpiece.
WARNING:
The blade coming in contact with the workpiece
before it reaches full speed could cause the saw to
"kickback" towards you resulting in serious injury.
To stop the saw: Release the switch trigger.
After you release the switch trigger, allow the blade to
come to a complete stop. Do not remove the saw from the
workpiece while the blade is moving.

LED LIGHT

The LED worklight located on the front of the tool illuminates
when the switch trigger is depressed.
If the tool is not in use, the time-out feature will cause the
light to shut off.
The LED worklight illuminates only when there is a charged
battery pack in the tool.
OPERATING THE SAW
See Figures 11 - 13, page 15.
It is important to understand the correct method for operat-
ing the saw. Refer to the figures in this section to learn the
correct and incorrect ways for handling the saw.
DANGER:
When lifting the saw from the workpiece, the blade
is exposed on the underside of the saw until the
lower blade guard closes. Make sure the lower
blade guard is closed before setting the saw down.
WARNING:
To make sawing easier and safer, always maintain
proper control of the saw. Loss of control could
cause an accident resulting in possible serious
injury.
To make the best possible cut, follow these helpful hints.
 Hold the saw firmly with both hands.
 Avoid placing your hand on the workpiece while making
a cut.
 Support the workpiece so that the cut is always on your
right.
 Support the workpiece near the cut.
 Clamp the workpiece securely so that the workpiece will
not move during the cut.
 Avoid placing the saw on the part of the workpiece that
will fall off when the cut is made.
 Place the workpiece with the "good" side down.
 Draw a guideline along the desired line of cut before
beginning the cut.
CROSS CUTTING
When making a cross cut or rip cut, align your line of cut
with the 0° notch on the saw base.
Since blade thicknesses vary, always make a trial cut in scrap
material along a guideline to determine if, and how much,
you must offset the guideline to produce an accurate cut.
