ADJUSTMENT OF BEVEL ANGLE

To adjust the bevel angle, refer to the bevel gauge
on the base. There are markings for different angles
from 0 to 45 degrees. To adjust the bevel angle:
Loosen the bevel lock knob
( See fig. 5 ) and the smaller knob at the rear. Lift the
bevel lock knob out of the slot and rotate the base
to the desired angle. The most commonly used
angles each have an individual slot. Simply drop the
bevel lock into the slot and tighten. If other angles
are needed, tighten the bevel lock knob to hold at
the desired position. Then tighten the smaller knob
at the rear of the base.

6.10. HOW TO USE THE SIGHTING NOTCH

To aid in free- hand cutting, a sighting notch is
located at the front of the base. See fig. 6.
the cutting line on the work piece with the sighting
notch. Make the cut. Use the right-hand notch
(between the two marking dots) for straight cuts
and the left- hand notch (located below the rivet)
for 45- degree bevel cuts.

6.11. STARTING AND STOPPING TOOL

Do not press the trigger switch before or while
inserting the rechargeable battery. To start the
machine, first press the safety lock button then
squeeze the trigger switch to start the motor.
Release the trigger switch to stop the motor. See
fig. 7.

6.12. REMOVING CHIPS

This dry-cut metal saw has an internal chip collector.
When the chip collector is full, the chips
must be cleared. To do this, first shut down and
Unplug the rechargeable battery. The outer blade
cover lock knob has a bayonet lock thread. See fig.
8. To remove cover, turn knob anticlockwise while
pushing in against the spring tension. Then lift
cover away. Recently- cut chips can be very hot.
Take care when removing the cover to keep the
chips or shavings away from your hands or other
body
parts. Do not throw hot debris where paper or other
flammable materials are located. To replace the
outer blade cover, line up tang with slot and push in
against the spring while turning clockwise. Ensure
that the cover is properly seated.

6.13. HOW TO USE THE RIP FENCE

Using the rip fence will provide more accurate
straight cuts than by cutting free- hand. For instal-
lation, Unplug the rechargeable battery. Then insert
the rip fence in the mounting slots in the base.

6.14. LOWER RETRACTING BLADE GUARD

The lower retracting blade guard is a safety device
important for your protection. Every
time you use the saw, make sure that the guard
rotates freely and returns quickly and completely
to its closed position. Before each use, remove
any accumulated chips, or shavings from the area
around the hub of the guard. DO NOT LUBRICATE
THIS AREA. The hub has a dry film lubricated surface
that does not need oiling. NEVER block or wedge
Align the blade guard in the open position. NEVER use
your saw if the blade guard is not in working order.
If blade guard movement is sluggish or if binding
exists, return the saw to your nearest AUTHORIZED
SERVICE CENTER for repair.

6.15. HOW TO USE THE TOOL

Effective control of this powerful saw requires
two- handed operation for maximum protection.
Support the work properly and to hold the saw
firmly WITH BOTH HANDS to
prevent loss of control which could cause personal
injury. Always hold the side handle with the left
hand and the rear handle with the right hand for
proper hand support of the saw. Protect your eyes
from injury with safety glasses or goggles.
Do not use cutting fluids or lubricants on the blade.

6.16. CLAMP THE WORK PIECE

Secure the work piece properly. The work piece
should be straight and firmly clamped to avoid
possible
movement and pinching as the cut nears
completion. Provide adequate support for long or
wide work pieces. Confirm that the blade has come
to a complete stop before removing or securing the
work piece, or changing the work piece angle. Press
the safety, then the trigger switch. Move the saw
forward to contact the work piece. Clamp the work
piece on a rigid support, such as a bench or saw
horses. Mark the line of cut on the work piece. Be
sure that the cutoff line is far enough on the work
piece to allow proper operation of the telescoping
guard. Place the front edge of the saw squarely on
work piece before starting the motor. Sight the
cutting line with the sighting notch indicator or
