STARTING/STOPPING THE
SAW (Fig. 9)
To start the saw:
1. Depress the lock-off button.
2. Depress the trigger switch. Always let the blade reach full speed, and 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 rotation. 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.
_, WARNING: If the electric brake repeatedly fails to quickly stop the blade
rotation, the saw should be repaired by a qualified technician.
WARNING: Always remove the battery pack from the tool when assembling
parts, changing the blade and making adjustments. Failure to obey this warning
could cause serious personal injury.
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 below the material being cut. Greater
blade 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 enables you to accurately
set the depth-of-cut.
