right) is eliminated and the saw moves freely (forward and
back). Tighten the lock knobs.
 Place the plunge depth control lever in the scoring posi-
tion.
 Reinstall the battery pack.
 Slide the saw to the starting end track and ensure the
blade is positioned to cut all the rubber.
 Start the saw and let the blade reach full speed.
 Carefully lower the blade until it contacts the workpiece.
 Guide the saw in a forward direction along the track to
trim the rubber cut strip.
NOTE: After the rubber cut strip is trimmed, it can be
used to accurately indicate the blade cut line.
 Release the trigger and allow the blade to come to a
complete stop.
 Slowly allow the front handle to rise until the blade is
completely inside of the guard and the saw is in the locked
position.
 Remove the battery pack from the saw.
 Remove the saw from the track and reinstall the riving
knife.
NOTE: When correctly installed, the riving knife should
be 5 mm from the blade. If necessary, loosen the screw
and reposition the riving knife.
 Loosen and remove the track clamp.
 Discard the scrap material.
To make cuts along the track:
 Secure workpiece to a workbench, table or other suitable
support.
 Place the track on the workpiece and position the rubber
cut strip along your desired line of cut.
 Using the track clamp, loosely secure the track to the
workpiece.
 Slide the track to the end of the workpiece and continue
sliding until a portion of track is hanging off the edge of
the workpiece.
 Tighten the track clamp completely
 Place the saw on the track and make adjustments if
needed.
 Perform one of the cutting operations described later in
this section.
 Release the trigger and allow the blade to come to a
complete stop.
 Slowly allow the front handle to rise until the blade is
completely inside of the guard and the saw is in the locked
position.
 Remove the battery pack from the saw.
OPERATION
OPERATING THE SAW
See Figures 27 - 29, page 22.
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.
WARNING:
To make sawing easier and safer, always maintain proper
control of the saw by holding the saw firmly with both
hands. 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 (kerf) is always to
your side.
 Support the workpiece near the cut.
 Use clamps or other practical ways to secure the workpiece
so that the workpiece will not move during the cut.
 Always place the saw and the track on the workpiece
that is supported, not the "cut off" piece.
 If possible, place the workpiece with the "good" side
down.
 To reduce the risk of splintering, always make a score cut
before cutting through laminated or veneer faced plywood
or composite materials.
 When cutting without a track, draw a guideline along the
desired line of cut before beginning your cut.
 When cutting along a track, use the rubber cut strip to
indicate the blade cut line.
 When cutting along a track, apply downward pressure
and gently move the saw forward. Don't force the saw
and NEVER pull the saw toward you when the saw is
running (turned on).
NOTICE:
All of the cutting operations described in this manual can
be performed with or without a track.
CROSS CUTTING/RIP CUTTING
See Figures 30 - 32, page 22.
WARNING:
Ensure the riving knife is installed and working properly
when making these cuts to avoid possible serious injury.
Cuts can be made across the grain of the wood (cross cuts)
or with the grain of the wood (rip cuts).
