OPERATION
■
When making a cut use steady, even pressure. Never
force cuts.
■
Do not cut warped or wet lumber.
■
Always hold your saw firmly with both hands and keep
your body in a balanced position so as to resist the forces
of kickback should it occur.
When using your saw, always stay alert and exercise
control. Do not remove your saw from workpiece while
the blade is moving.
DEPTH OF CUT ADJUSTMENT
Always keep correct blade depth setting. The correct blade
depth setting for all cuts should not exceed 1/4 inch (6.4 mm)
below the material to be cut. More blade depth will increase
the chance of kickback and cause the cut to be rough. One
blade tooth below the material to be cut works best for most
efficient cutting action.
TO ADJUST BLADE DEPTH
■
Remove battery pack from saw.
WARNING:
Failure to remove battery pack from saw could result in
accidental starting causing possible serious personal
injury.
■
Loosen depth adjustment knob. See Figure 12.
■
Hold base flat against the workpiece and raise or lower
saw until the required depth is reached.
■
Tighten depth adjustment knob securely.
STARTING A CUT
Know the right way to use your saw.
See Figure 13.
Never use your saw as shown in figure 14.
Never place your hand on the workpiece behind your saw
while making a cut.
WARNING:
To make sawing easier and safer, always maintain proper
control of your saw. Loss of control of your saw could
cause an accident resulting in possible serious injury. 45 45 50 50 30 30 22 22
