OPERATION
ADJUSTING BLADE DEPTH
See Figure 14.
Always keep correct blade depth setting. The correct
blade depth setting for all cuts should not exceed 1/4 in.
(6.35 mm) below the material being cut. More blade depth
will increase the chance of kickback and cause the cut
to be rough. For more depth of cut accuracy, a scale is
located on the upper blade guard.
Follow these directions to adjust the blade depth.
n Remove battery pack from saw.
WARNING: Failure to remove battery pack from
the tool could result in accidental starting causing
serious injury.
n Loosen depth adjustment knob.
n Determine the desired depth of cut.
n Locate depth of cut scale on back of upper blade
guard.
n Hold base flat against the workpiece and raise or lower
saw until the indicator mark on bracket aligns with
notch on blade guard.
n Tighten depth adjustment knob securely.
USING THE LASER GUIDE
See Figure 15
WARNING: Do not stare into the laser beam or
turn the laser on when the tool is not in use. Failure
to do so could result in possible serious personal
injury. The laser unit comes from the factory al-
ready installed and aligned. If the laser becomes
misaligned after time refer to the "adjustments"
section.
NOTE: Make a trial cut on a piece of scrap to ensure laser
is aligned, adjusting the laser may be necessary.
n Mark the line to be cut on the workpiece.
n Adjust the depth and angle of the cut as needed.
n Switch on the laser beam.
n Install battery pack into the tool and start the motor.
NOTE: Do not touch the blade to the workpiece until
the saw has reached maximum speed.
n Slowly push the saw forward into the workpiece.
NOTE: Keep the laser beam on the marked line on the
workpiece for precision cutting.
n Once the cut is complete, allow the saw to come to a
complete stop before turning off the laser.
n Remove battery pack from saw.
