When making a cut, use steady, even pressure. Forcing causes rough cuts, could shorten the life of your saw and could
cause "kickback".
DANGER:
When sawing through a workpiece, the lower blade guard does not cover the blade which is thus exposed on the
underside of the workpiece. Keep your hands and fingers away from the cutting area. Because of the risk of serious
bodily injury, the rotating blade must never come into contact with any part of your body.
Once you have completed your cut, release the trigger and allow the blade to come to a complete stop. Do not remove
your saw from the workpiece while the blade is moving.
CAUTION:
To make sawing easier and safer, always maintain proper control of your saw. Loss of control of your saw could
cause an accident and result in serious injury.

7.11 CROSS CUTS AND RIP CUTS
When making a cross cut or rip cut, align your line of cut with the outer blade guide notch on the saw base as shown in Figure
15.
Since blade thickness varies, always make a trial cut on scrap material along a guide line to determine whether the guide
line must be offset and, if so, by how much to produce an accurate cut.
NOTE: The distance between the line of cut and the guide line is the amount you should offset the guide line on the workpiece.

7.12 WIDTH OF CUT SCALE
See Figure 16.
A width-of-cut scale has been provided on the base of your saw. When making straight cross cuts or rip cuts, the scale can
be used to measure up to 110 mm on the right side of the blade and up to 25 mm on the left side of the blade.

7.13 BEVEL CUTS
The angle of cut of your saw may be adjusted to any desired setting between zero and 50°. NOTE: When making 50° cuts,
the blade should be set at the maximum depth of cut.
When making 45° bevel cuts, there is a notch in the saw base to help you line up the blade with the guide line. See Figure 17.
When making 45° bevel cuts, line up your guide line with the guide notch on the saw base.
Since blade thickness varies and different angles require different settings, always make a trial cut on scrap material
along a guide line to determine how much you should offset the guide line on the board to be cut.
When making a bevel cut, hold your saw firmly with both hands as shown in Figure 18.
Rest the front edge of the base on the workpiece. Depress the lock-off button and squeeze the trigger to start your saw.
Always let the blade reach full speed, then insert your saw into the workpiece.
WARNING:
The blade must not come into contact with the workpiece before it reaches full speed. Otherwise your saw could kick
back towards you resulting in serious injury.
Once you have completed your cut, release the trigger and allow the blade to come to a complete stop. After the blade has
stopped, lift your saw from the workpiece.
