ALTERNATIVE RIP METHOD
See Figure 20.
Using C-clamps, firmly clamp a straight edge to the
workpeice and guide the saw along the straight edge
to achieve a straight rip cut. Do not bind the blade in
the cut.
ALTERNATIVEMETHODFOR RIPCUTTING
Align your line of cut with the inner blade guide notch
on the saw base when making 45 ° bevel cuts.
Since blade thicknesses vary and different angles
require different settings, always make a trial cut
in scrap material along a guideline to determine
how much you should offset the guideline on the
board to be cut.
When making a bevel cut hold your saw firmly with
both hands as shown in figure 22.

TO BEVEL CUT
The angle of cut of your saw may be adjusted to any
desired setting between zero and 50°. Note= When
making cuts at 50 °, blade should be set at full 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 line of
cut. See Figure 21.

Rest the front edge of the base on the workpiece.
Depress the lock-off button and squeeze the switch
trigger to start your saw. Always let the blade reach
full speed, then guide your saw into the workpiece.
_ WARNING: The blade coming in contact with
the workpiece before itreaches full speed could
cause saw to "kickback" toward you resulting in
serious injury.
After you complete 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.
TO ADJUST BEVEL SEI-FING
• Remove battery pack from saw.
_ WARNING: Failure to remove battery pack from
saw could result in accidental starting causing
possible serious personal injury.
• Loosen bevel adjustment knob. See Figure 21.
• Raise motor housing end of saw until you reach
desired angle setting on bevel scale. See Figure 21.
• Tighten bevel adjustment knob securely.
