adjusted to assure 0° angle of the saw blade when making 90°
cuts. However, misalignment can occur during shipping.
ADJUSTMENTS
POCKET CUTTING
See Figure 23.
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 the saw
possibly causing serious injury.
Adjust the bevel setting to zero.
Set the blade to the correct blade depth setting.
Swing the lower blade guard up using the lower blade
guard handle.
NOTE: Always raise the lower blade guard with the handle
to avoid serious injury.
Hold the lower blade guard by the handle.
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.
Start the saw and let the blade reach full speed.
Guide the saw into the workpiece and make the cut.
WARNING:
Always cut in a forward direction when pocket
cutting. Cutting in the reverse direction could
cause the saw to climb up on the workpiece and
back toward you.
