saw sHoe (fig. 1)
The front of the saw shoe (k) has a kerf indicator
(e) that allows the operator to glide the saw along
cutting lines. Aligning the cutting line with the notch
on the front of the shoe and centering it using the
modified V-shaped kerf indicator allows the operator
to keep the blade in line with the cutting line. If the
cutting line is visible through the narrowest part of
the kerf indicator, the blade will pass directly over the
cutting line.
workligHt
The saw is equipped with a worklight that is
activated when the trigger switch is depressed.
The light will automatically turn off 20 seconds after
the trigger switch is released. If the trigger switch
remains depressed, the worklight will remain on.
NOTE: The worklight is for lighting the immediate
work surface and is not intended to be used as a
flashlight.
