CUTTING MATERIAL
1.
The surface you are working on should be clean and
level, free from rust, scale, dirt and chips.
2. Adjust the base plate to the desired bevel angle by
loosening and then retightening the T-knob. Be
certain depth and angle adjusting knobs are tight.

area. Align saw blade with the intended line of cut on
the material.
8. Depress and hold trigger switch lockout
mechanism (A).
9. When ready, start saw motor by activating trigger
switch (B).
10. Slowly approach material edge and gently apply
pressure until saw blade has established a cutting
groove in the material.
11. During the remainder of the cut, apply smooth,
constant pressure without overloading the saw
motor. Do not force saw through material. This may
over load the motor. If the saw circuit breaker should
trip, disconnect power cord. Remove saw from
material being cut. Allow saw to cool. Press the reset
switch (C). If the circuit breaker continues to trip,
contact your John Deere dealer.

START MOTOR. FAILURE TO DO SO COULD
RESULT IN PERSONAL INJURY.
