SAFETY GUIDELINES - DEFINITIONS It is important for you to read and understand this manual. The information it contains relates to protecting YOUR SAFETY and PREVENTING PROBLEMS. The symbols below are used to help you recognize this information. indicates an imminently hazardous situation which, if not avoided, will result in death or serious injury. indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided,could result in death or serious injury.
GENERAL SAFETY RULES* Read all instructions Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury. The term "power tool" in all of the warnings listed below refers to your mains-operated (corded) power tool or battery-operated (cordless) power tool. SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS 1) Work area safety a) Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
GENERAL SAFETY RULES* continued d) Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool on. A wrench or a key left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in personal injury. e) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations. f) Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from moving parts.
ADDITIONAL SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES Safety Instructions for All Saws a) Keep hands away from cutting area and the blade. Keep your second hand on auxiliary handle, or motor housing. If both hands are holding the saw, they cannot be cut by the blade. b) Do not reach underneath the workpiece. The guard cannot protect you from the blade below the workpiece. c) Adjust the cutting depth to the thickness of the workpiece. Less than a full tooth of the blade teeth should be visible below the workpiece.
k) When restarting a saw in the workpiece, centre the saw blade in the kerf and check that saw teeth are not engaged into the material. If saw blade is binding, it may walk up or kickback from the workpiece as the saw is restarted. l) Support large panels to minimize the risk of blade pinching and kickback. Large panels tend to sag under their own weight. Supports must be placed under the panel on both sides, near the line of cut and near the edge of the panel. m)Do not use dull or damaged blades.

MOTOR Many Porter-Cable tools will operate on either D.C., or single phase 25 to 60 cycle A.C. current and voltage within plus or minus 5 percent of that shown on the specification plate on the tool. Several models, however, are designed for A.C. current only. Refer to the specification plate on your tool for proper voltage and current rating. Do not operate your tool on a current on which the voltage is not within correct limits. Do not operate tools rated A.C. only on D.C. current.
ASSEMBLY NOTE: This tool is shipped completely assembled. No assembly time or tools are required. OPERATION SELECTING THE BLADE A combination blade is furnished with your saw and is an excellent blade for all general ripping and crosscutting operations. When crosscutting and smoothness of cut is an important factor, use a thin-rim blade. Use a fine tooth blade when cutting plywood and masonite.
TO ADJUST DEPTH OF CUT DISCONNECT TOOL FROM POWER SOURCE. Loosen the depth adjusting knob (A) Fig. 1, and raise or lower the saw housing until the blade extends the desired distance below the base. For best results, the blade should barely protrude through the workpiece. Firmly tighten the knob to hold the saw in position. A Fig. 1 TO ADJUST FOR BEVEL CUTS DISCONNECT TOOL FROM POWER SOURCE. Loosen the front (A) Fig. 2 and rear (B) Fig. 2 angle-adjusting knobs.
DISCONNECT TOOL FROM POWER SOURCE. Adjust the saw for the minimum depth of cut. Place the slot of the insert around the stud (A) Fig. 4 on the front of the saw base. Install a flat washer and thumb nut to the stud loosely. Adjust the saw for the desired depth of cut, and align the insert so that the saw blade is centered in the slot in the insert. Tighten the thumb nut firmly. TO ATTACH THE RIP GUIDE DISCONNECT TOOL FROM POWER SOURCE. Adjust the saw for the minimum depth of cut.
TO FOLLOW THE LINE OF CUT A notch is provided on the front edge of the base to assist in following the line of cut marked on the workpiece. The left edge of the notch (A) Fig. 7 is marked “45”. Use this edge to follow the line when making 45 degree bevel cuts. The right edge of the notch is marked “0”. Use this edge to follow the line when making 90 degree cuts. A Fig. 7 GUARD AGAINST KICKBACK. Kickback occurs when the blade is pinched and the saw is driven back toward the operator.
RIPPING Ripping is cutting wood lengthwise. This operation is performed the same as A crosscutting with the exception of supporting the workpiece. If the workpiece is supported on a large table, bench, or floor, several pieces of scrap stock approximately one inch thick should be placed beneath the workpiece to allow clearance for the protruding section of the blade. Large sheets of Fig.

LUBRICATION Although all Porter-Cable tools have been thoroughly lubricated with a sufficient amount of high grade lubricant at the time of manufacture, check the oil level in the gear chamber before using your saw and periodically thereafter. To check the oil level: DISCONNECT TOOL FROM POWER SOURCE. 1. Remove the saw blade to prevent accidental contact when checking the oil level. Adjust the saw for the maximum depth of cut and 45 degree bevel cut. Firmly tighten all knobs.
