Turning On the Saw
To prevent unexpected start-ups, the power switch has an
integral safety interlock. Before the saw can be started, the
plunge release must be engaged.
1. Insert the Plug-it cord into the saw with the keyway lined
up with the key, and twist the end to lock it in place.
2. Press up on the plunge release lever.
3. Pull back on the power trigger.
Using the Outrigger Splinter Guard
The outrigger splinter guard is used when the cut to the
right of the blade needs to be chip-free. When not in use,
the outrigger can be raised out of the way. For bevel cuts,
the outrigger is easily removable.
1. Remove the thumbscrew from the outrigger and slide
the outrigger on to the front edge of the blade cover as
shown.

2. Insert the thumbscrew through the outrigger, through
the height adjustment slot, and into the captive nut on
the back side of the outrigger.
3. Place the saw on the guide rail, on the workpiece, and
lower the splinter guard down to the surface of the
workpiece.
4. Tighten the thumbscrew.
Notes
► Inspect the bottom of the outrigger for burrs that could
scratch the workpiece.
► Remove the outrigger when making bevel cuts.
► For plunge cuts, there is an index mark to indicate the
blade position when the blade is at full depth.
