TO ASSEMBLE THE OPTIONAL BASE INSERT
An optional base insert (A) Fig. 10 is available as an accessory and is used
with a fine-tooth blade to reduce chipping and splintering of top fibers of
plywood.
Do not use this insert when making bevel cuts.
Disconnect tool from power source!
To install:
1. Adjust the saw for a minimum
depth of cut.
2. Position the large slot in the
insert around the stud, and the
two small slots over the raised
dimples on the front of the base
(Fig. 11).
3. Install a washer (B) Fig. 11 and
knob (C) Fig. 11 on the stud, and
hand-tighten for further adjust-
ment.
4. Adjust the saw for depth of cut so that the slot in the insert straddles
the saw blade at least 1/8".
5. Align the insert so that the saw blade is centered in the slot. Tighten the
knob securely.
INSTALLING THE SAWDUST EXHAUST NOZZLE
An exhaust nozzle is provided to direct sawdust away from you and from the
line of cut. You can rotate this nozzle 360°. To install:
Disconnect tool from power source!
1. Open the exhaust cover (A) Fig.
12 and remove any accumulated
sawdust.
2. Insert the nozzle in the exhaust
opening and push in until it is
seated.
3. To remove, grasp the nozzle
where it enters the exhaust
opening and pull it out.
Never direct sawdust toward yourself. To avoid personal
injury from flying sawdust, keep the exhaust cover closed when the nozzle is
not installed. NEVER insert foreign objects into exhaust opening.
