TO POCKET CUT
See Figure 21.
,_ WARNING: Always adjust bevel setting to zero
before making a pocket cut. Attempting a pocket
cut at any other setting can result in loss of
control of your saw possibly causing serious
injury.
Adjust the bevel setting to zero, set blade to correct
blade depth setting, and swing the lower blade guard
up using the lower blade guard handle.
Always raise the lower blade guard with the
handle to avoid serious injury.
While holding lower blade guard by the handle, firmly
rest the front of the base flat against the workpiece
with the rear of the handle raised so the blade does
not touch the workpiece. See Figure 21.

Squeeze the switch trigger to start your saw. Always
let the blade reach full speed then slowly lower
blade into the workpiece until base is flat against
workpiece.
After you complete your cut release the trigger and
allow the blade to come to a complete stop. After the
blade has stopped, remove it from the workpiece.
Corners may then be cleared out with a hand saw or
sabre saw.
WARNING: Never tie the lower blade guard in a
raised position. Leaving the blade exposed could
lead to serious injury.
