Guide Notches
The saw is provided with two guide notch-
es for either 45° or 90° cuts. These are
located on the leading edge of the saw
base. The notches are used for following a
line through a cut. It should be noted that
these are provided for one blade thickness.
Blades without carbide teeth or with car-
bide teeth that are thinner or thicker may
render the guide notches inaccurate.
Setting the Blade Angle
1.
Loosen the black angle locking
knobs located at the leading and
trailing edge of the saw base.
2.
Rotate the saw base until the index
pointer is at the desired angle and
tighten knobs.
3.
For best results always check the
blade angle with a protractor or angle
guide before making a cut. Make a
test cut into scrap lumber and check
the angle of the cut. Readjust as nec-
essary.
Avoid kickback hazards! If saw motor
stalls during cut release the trigger
immediately. Determine the cause of
the problem and rectify before contin-
uing cut.

Like all power tools, there is danger
associated with the Model G9906.
Accidents are frequently caused by
lack of familiarity or failure to pay
attention. Use this tool with respect
and caution to lessen the possibility of
operator injury. If normal safety pre-
cautions are overlooked or ignored,
serious personal injury may occur.
