OPERATION
POCKET CUTTING
See Figure 24.
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.
Follow these directions to pocket cut.
n Adjust the bevel setting to zero.
n Set the blade to the correct blade depth setting.
n 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.
n Hold the lower blade guard by the handle.
n 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.
n Start the saw and let the blade reach full speed.
n 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.
