If both hands are holding the saw, they cannot be cut by the blade. Keep your body positioned to either side of the saw blade, but not in line with the saw blade. KICKBACK could cause the saw to jump backwards.

4/18/02 7:41 AM 14. Maintain a firm grip on the saw and position your body and arm in a way that allows you to resist KICKBACK forces. KICKBACK forces can be controlled by the operator, if proper precautions are taken.
When servicing use only identical replacement parts. MOTOR Many Porter-Cable tools will operate on either D.C., or single phase 25 to 60 cycle A.C. current and voltage within plus or minus 5 percent of that shown on the specification plate on the tool. Several models, however, are designed for A.C.
Check the telescoping guard to insure it is in working order. Clean inner blade flange, retract telescoping guard, and place sharp blade on arbor making sure teeth point up at front of saw as shown in Fig. 2. CAUTION: AVOID CONTACT WITH BLADE TEETH TO PREVENT PERSONAL INJURY.

TO ADJUST DEPTH OF CUT FOR NORMAL CUTTING It is recommended that the depth of cut be adjusted so that the saw blade just protrudes through the thickness of material being cut. Adjust depth of cut as follows: CAUTION: DISCONNECT TOOL FROM POWER SOURCE.

45° or the 90° position. In normal operation the bevel stop sleeve (C) Fig. 6, is aligned as shown in Fig. 6. To adjust the saw for a bevel cut beyond the normal 45° to 90° range: CAUTION: DISCONNECT TOOL FROM POWER SOURCE.

4/18/02 7:41 AM Fig. 6 The saw can now be adjusted for a bevel cut between the normal stop (45° or 90°) and 3° beyond the normal stop. Position saw to desired angle and firmly tighten bevel adjustment knob. NOTE: The bevel stop sleeve must be returned to the normal position (see Fig.
Fig. 9 LINE-OF-CUT INDICATOR Line-of-cut indicator slots (Fig. 9), are provided at the front of the saw base. The right slot is used to follow a line when making a 90° cut. The left slot is used to follow a line when making a 45° cut.
Fig. 14 illustrates proper hand support of the saw. Clamp work on a rigid support such as a bench or saw horses. See Fig. 14. Mark the line of cut on the work. Be sure cut-off line is beyond end of support to the right only enough to allow proper operation of the telescoping guard.

See Fig. 14. Do not force the cut. Let the saw do the cutting at the rate of speed permitted by the type of cut and the material being cut. When the cut is completed, release the switch and allow the blade to stop before lifting the saw from the work.
Mark the area clearly with lines on all sides. Start near the corner of one side and place front edge of saw base firmly on the work. Hold saw up so blade clears the material. Be sure you have adjusted the blade properly for depth of cut.
