To avoid possible injury, disconnect battery pack before performing any
assembly, adjustments or repairs.

Lifting the Saw

To avoid injury, follow all
statements identified below
by the BULLET (•) symbol.
• Never lift the saw by gripping any of the
sliding mechanism parts. The saw may
move and cause severe injuries to your
fingers or hands.
• To avoid back injury, hold the tool close to
your body when lifting. Bend your knees so
you can lift with your legs, not your back.
Lifting the saw from the back is the pre-
ferred method. This will tip the tool toward
your body.
• Never lift tool by holding switch handle.
This may cause serious damage.
• Place the saw on a firm, level surface where
there is plenty of room for handling and
properly supporting the workpiece.
ONLY lift this saw by the cast-in carry handles
at each side of the bottom of the base (Fig. 26,
14) or by the main carry handle (4).
Preparing To Lift The Saw
1. Set bevel angle at 0° and lock in place using
the bevel lock lever (Fig. 20, 34).
2. Rotate the table to either 60° or 0° and lock
into place using the miter lock knob (Fig. 26,
20).
3. Lock the saw head assembly (Fig. 22, 28) in
the DOWN position with the head assembly
lock pin (8).
4. Slide the saw head assembly completely to
the front and tighten the slide rail lock knob
(Fig. 26, 7) by turning it clockwise (to the
right).
