The term “power tool” in the warnings refers to your mains-operated (corded) power tool or battery-operated (cordless) power tool. attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in personal injury. •Do not overreach.
•When battery pack is not in use, keep it away from other metal objects like paper clips, coins, keys, nails, screws, or other small metal objects that can make a connection from one terminal to another. Shorting the battery terminals together may cause burns or a fire. •Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from the battery; avoid contact. If contact accidentally occurs, flush with water. If liquid contacts eyes, additionally seek medical help.
•Check the operation of the lower guard spring. If the guard and the spring are not operating properly, they must be serviced before use. Lower guard may operate sluggishly due to damaged parts, gummy deposits, or a build-up of debris. •Lower guard should be retracted manually only for special cuts such as “plunge cuts” and “compound cuts.” Raise lower guard by retracting handle and as soon as blade enters the material, the lower guard must be released.
ASSEMBLY Checking the Operation of the Lower Guard Check the operation and condition of the lower guard lever. If the guard and the lever are not operating properly, they must be serviced before use. Lower guard may operate sluggishly due to damaged parts, gummy deposits, or a buildup of debris. 1. Remove the battery pack before checking the lower guard. 2. Place the tool on its side. NOTE: This procedure will not show proper lower guard operation if the tool is not on its side. 3.
Adjusting the Blade to Shoe The shoe has been adjusted at the factory to a 90° setting. Inspect the saw regularly to make sure the blade is 90° to the shoe. 1. Remove battery pack. 2. Set the bevel pointer to zero. 3. To make sure the blade is 90° to the shoe, place saw on the blade side and retract lower guard. Place a square against the blade and shoe to inspect the degree setting (Fig. 6). 4. To adjust the degree setting, loosen the bevel adjusting knob.
Electric Brake General Operation Always clamp the workpiece securely on a saw horse or bench. See “APPLICATIONS” for the correct way to support your work in different situations. 1. Draw a cutting line. Place the front of the shoe on the edge of the workpiece without making blade contact. Hold the handle with one hand and the front handle with the other (Fig. 7). The electric brake engages when the trigger is released, causing the blade to stop. Generally, the saw blade stops within two seconds.
APPLICATIONS WARNING To reduce the risk of electric shock, check work area for hidden pipes and wires before making plunge cuts. Cutting Large Panels Large panels and long boards sag or bend if they are not correctly supported. If you attempt to cut without leveling and properly supporting the workpiece, the blade will tend to bind, causing kickback. Support large panels. Be sure to set the depth of the cut so that you only cut through the workpiece, not through the supports.
