Please read the manual and pay attention to these sections. indicates an imminently hazardous situation which, if not avoided, will result in death or serious injury.
. Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock. 4. Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord to carry the tools or pull the plug from an outlet. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Replace damaged cords immediately. Damaged cords increase the risk of electric shock. 5. When operating a power tool outside, use an outdoor extension cord marked “W-A” or “W”.
SERVICE 1. Tool service must be performed only by qualified repair personnel. Service or maintenance performed by unqualified personnel could result in a risk of injury. 2. When servicing a tool, use only identical replacement parts. Follow instructions in the Maintenance Section of this manual. Use of unauthorized parts or failure to follow Maintenance Instructions may create a risk of electric shock or injury. ADDITIONAL SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES 1. Keep hands away from cutting area and blade.
l When the blade is pinched or bound tightly by the kerf closing down, the blade stalls and the motor reaction drives the unit rapidly back toward the operator. l If the blade becomes twisted or misaligned in the cut, the teeth at the back edge of the blade can dig into the top surface of the wood causing the blade to climb out of the kerf and jump back toward the operator.

A A Fig. 2 Fig. 3 2. While pressing the arbor lock button, extend the lever on the Quick Change the blade clamp (A) Fig. 2 and turn it clockwise (left-hand thread). 3. Remove the Quick Change blade clamp, release the arbor lock button, and remove the outer blade flange. NOTE: DO NOT use wet lubricants on the Quick Change blade clamp. Verify that the Quick Change blade clamp lever is tight, and quickly returns to its closed position before connecting the tool to the power source.
TELESCOPING GUARD The telescoping guard (A) Fig. 3 is a safety device important to your protection. Every time you use the saw, verify that the telescoping guard rotates freely and returns quickly and completely to its closed position. At least once a month, remove any accumulated debris (sawdust, pitch, etc.) from the area around the hub (B) of the telescoping guard. DO NOT LUBRICATE THIS AREA. The hub has a dry film lubricated surface that does not need oiling.
0° POSITIVE STOP The saw is equipped with an adjustable positive stop at 0°. Check the accuracy of this stop periodically. To adjust: DISCONNECT TOOL FROM POWER SOURCE. 1. Loosen the bevel adjustment lever (A) Fig. 8, and position the base for a 0° cut. Confirm that the bevel-stop sleeve (B) Fig. 8 is against the 0° stop screw (C). Turn the saw upside down, retract the telescoping guard, and check to see that the blade is square (Fig. 9). To adjust, loosen the bevel adjustment knob (A) Fig. 8.
INSTALLING THE OPTIONAL RIP GUIDE 1. Insert the rip guide (A) Fig. 14 through the slots (B). Slide the guide in until it extends through the both slots in the sawbase. 2. Place the compression spring on the thumb screw (C) Fig. 14 (supplied with the rip guide), and thread into the hole in the saw base. DO NOT TIGHTEN. 3. Adjust the rip guide for the desired width of cut and tighten the thumb screw. To avoid personal injury and damage to workpiece, extend the rip guide through both slots in the base.
Fig. 18 Fig.17 CROSS-CUTTING Cutting directly across the grain of a piece of lumber is called crosscutting. Position the work so that the cut will be on the left. RIPPING Cutting wood lengthwise is referred to as ripping. This operation is performed in the same manner as crosscutting with the exception of supporting the workpiece.
POCKET CUTS (PLUNGE CUTTING) A pocket cut is one which must be made inside the area of the workpiece and not starting from the edge. Mark the area clearly with lines on all sides. Start near the corner of one side and place the front edge of the saw base firmly on the workpiece. Hold the saw up so that the blade clears the material. Confirm that you have adjusted the blade properly for the depth of cut. Push the telescoping guard lever all the way back so the blade is exposed (Fig. 21). Fig.
