Fig. 10
Lock-off
button
1. Depress the lock-off button.
2. Depress the trigger switch. Always let the blade reach full speed, then guide
the saw into the workpiece.
To stop the saw:
1. 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.
ELECTRIC BRAKE
The saw has an electric brake to quickly stop the blade from rotating. The
electric brake engages when the trigger switch is released. When the brake is
functioning properly, sparks may be visible through the vent slots in the motor
housing. This is normal and is the action of the brake.
NOTE: If the electric brake repeatedly fails to quickly stop the blade rotation, the
saw should be repaired by a qualified service technician at Sears Service Center.
,_ WARNING: Always remove the battery pack from the tool when assembling
parts, changing blade and making adjustments. Failure to obey this warning
could cause serious personal injury.
DEPTH-OF-CUT ADJUSTMENT
Always use the correct blade-depth setting. The correct blade-depth setting for
all cuts should not be more than 1/4-inch below the material being cut. Allowing
more 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.
