OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
NOTE: To obtain correct bevel angles, rotate the bevel-stop lever (I) to the other side to pull it
out, and tilt the saw to the desired angle.
h. When the saw arm has been set at the desired angle, rotate the bevel-lock knob to
securely tighten it.
i. Connect the saw with the battery pack.
j. Place the work piece at on the miter table, with one edge securely against the fence. If
the board is warped, place the convex side against the fence. If the concave edge of the
board is against the fence, the board could collapse on the blade at the end of the cut and
jam the blade.
k. Turn on the LED light switch (C) and align the pencil line aligned with the blade’s shadow
line.
l. Use the work clamp (2) to secure the work piece against the saw table and fence.
m. When cutting a long work piece, use a block (not supplied) to support the long work piece.
WARNING
• Never use another person as an additional support for a work piece that is longer or wider
than the basic saw table, or to help feed, support, or pull the work piece.
• To avoid serious personal injury, always keep hands outside the “No-Hands Zone,” as
marked on the saw base, or at least 3” (7.6 cm) away from the blade. Also, never perform
any cutting operation “freehand” (i.e., without holding the work piece against the fence),
because the blade could grab the work piece, causing it to slip and twist.
n. Before turning the saw on, perform a trial of the cutting operation by lowering the saw arm
to make sure that no problems will occur when the cut is made.
o. Hold the saw arm and turn the saw on with the on/Off switch (B). Allow several seconds
for the blade to reach maximum speed before cutting.
p. Slowly lower the blade into and through the work piece.
q. Release the lock-off button and the On/Off switch. Allow the saw blade to stop rotating
before raising the blade out of the work piece.
