Standing Up the Tool
With the help of an assistant, stand up the tool and position it in its intended operating location.
Extend the rear support. If the tool is to be mounted to the floor or to a wall or post, attach it securely to avoid injury
from tipping.
WARNING: A freestanding saw must be located away from areas where it could be
accidentally tipped over.
Installing the Cord Keeper
The cord keeper keeps the cord away from the blade or bit and away from your work piece.
1. Pinch the ends of the cord keeper together as shown in Figure7 while you slowly slide the ends into the guide
tubes. Seat the ends securely.

2. Remove the rubber stopper from the ring in the cord keeper. See Figure 8. Uncoil the cord from the motor,
and place the plug end through the ring as shown.
3. Loosen the carriage lock and lower the carriage to the bottom of the guide tubes (the farthest that the cord will
have to be extended). Lock the carriage lock in this lowered position.
4. Pull the cord keeper down so it is roughly parallel to the floor as shown. Pull the cord up to remove any slack in
it. Then open the rubber stopper and pull it over the cord with the small end of the taper on the bottom. Press
the rubber stopper into the ring on the cord holder.
