5. Always support large panels to minimize the
risk of blade pinching and kickback.
Large panels tend to sag under their own
weight. Supports must be placed under the
panel: one near the line of cut and one near
the edge of the panel.
6. When restarting the saw in the workpiece,
center the blade in the kerf and check to be
sure that the saw teeth are not engaged into
the material. If the saw blade is binding, it may
walk up or kick back from the workpiece when
the saw is restarted.
7. Do not use a dull or damaged blade. Un-
sharpened, improperly set, or gummed-up
blades produce narrow kerfs, which cause ex-
cessive friction, blade binding, and Kickback.
8. Keep the blade at the correct depth setting.
The depth setting should not exceed 1/4 inch
below the material being cut. Be sure that the
blade depth and adjusting locking levers are
tight and secure before making a cut. If blade
adjustment shifts while cutting, it may cause
binding and Kickback.

9. Use extra caution when making a "Pocket
Cut" into existing walls or other blind areas.
The protruding blade may cut objects that can
cause Kickback.
STARTING / STOPPING THE SAW
To start the saw: Depress the trigger switch.
Always allow the blade to reach full speed, and
then guide the saw into the workpiece.
To stop the saw: Release the trigger switch.
After you release the trigger switch, allow the
blade to come to a complete stop.
Do not remove the saw from the workpiece
while the blade is moving.
MAKING DEPTH-OF-CUT ADJUSTMENTS
Always use the correct blade-depth setting.
The correct blade-depth setting for all cuts
should not be more than 1/4-inch deeper than
the material being cut.

Blade is
Set Too Deep
Increased cutting depth will increase the
chance of kickback and cause the cut to be
rough. Your saw is equipped with a depth-of-
cut scale that provides increased depth-of-cut
accuracy. The depth-of-cut scale is located on
the right side of the bracket.

TO SET THE BLADE DEPTH
WARNING: Always unplug the saw before
making any adjustments. Failure to unplug the
saw could result in accidental starting, which
can cause serious personal injury.
1. Unplug the saw.
2. Raise the depth-of-cut adjustment lever to
loosen the base.
3. Determine the desired depth of cut.
4. Locate the depth-of-cut scale on the right
side of the bracket.
5. Hold the base of the saw flat against the
edge of the workpiece, and then raise or lower
the saw until the indicator aligns with the de-
sired depth-of-cut mark.
6. Tighten the depth-of-cut adjustment lever.
STARTING A CUT
WARNING: Always securely clamp and sup-
port the workpiece. Always maintain proper
control of the saw. Failure to clamp and sup-
port the workpiece and loss of control of the
saw could result in serious injury.
WARNING: Always maintain proper control
of the saw to make sawing safer and easier.
Loss of control of the saw could cause an ac-
cident resulting in possibly serious injury.
1. Always use your saw with your hands posi-
tioned correctly: with one hand operating the
trigger switch and the other on the front assist
handle.
To Help Maintain Control:
Always support the workpiece near the cut.
Always support the workpiece so the cut will
be on your right.
Always clamp the workpiece so it will not
Loosen
