to allow the blade assembly to slide
freely.
3. Blow any sawdust or debris away
from the Fence. Place the work
material against the Fence.
4. Make any necessary miter or bevel
adjustments.
5. Turn the Laser guide on, using the
switch on the side of the laser battery
housing.
6. Align the marked location of the cut
on the work material with the saw
blade. Be aware that the Saw Blade
will remove material from the cut
equal to the width of the blade. This is
the "kerf". To prevent your work piece
from being cut too short, align the
edge of the blade with your measured
mark, keeping the kerf on the waste
side of the cut.
7. Hold the work material in place using
the Hold Down Vise. Ensure that the
work material is level and supported
securely, using saw horses or
supports if necessary.
8. Grip the Saw Handle, press the
Trigger Lock Button and squeeze the
Trigger to start the Blade turning.
9. Pressing down lightly, move the
Blade smoothly across the work
material to cut it. With narrow
material, you can press straight down
"chopping" the material. With wider
material you must move the Blade
across the material to cut it. Do not
bear down on the material, use light
downward pressure. If the material
binds the blade, release the trigger.
Keep your hands away from the
Blade.

10. When the cut is completed, raise the
blade assembly, wait for the Blade to
stop turning, release the Hold Down
Vise and remove the work material
from the saw.
11. The laser guide will not turn off
automatically. Turn the laser guide
off using the switch on the side of
the laser battery housing. This is
important to prevent accidental eye
exposure to the laser beam.
