The handy rip fence allows you to do extra-accurate 
straight cuts. Simply slide the rip fence up snugly against 
the side of the workpiece and secure it in position with 
the screw on the front of the base. It also makes 
repeated cuts of uniform width possible. 

Plunge cuts (Pocket cutting) 

WARNING: 

• 

Never touch the lower guard during operation. 

• 

Never wedge or tie the lower guard open. For 
example, do not wedge or tie the retracting lever. 
Then lower guard must always be kept free and in 
no way restricted in its movement. It must 
automatically close immediately after the cut is 
completed and the tool is raised. 

• 

As soon as you start the cut, release the retracting 
lever. The lower guard contact with the workpiece will 
keep it in position to open freely as you start the cut. 

• 

Lower guard should be retracted manually only for 
special cuts such as "Pocket Cuts" and 
"Compound Cuts." Raise lower guard by 
Retracting Lever. As soon as blade enters the 
material, retracting lever must be released. For all 
other sawing, the lower guard should operate 
automatically. 

Tilt the tool forward and rest the front of the base on the 
workpiece to be cut. Using the right edge of the notch in 
the front of the base and the graduation on the right side 
of the base, align the blade with the cutting line on the 
workpiece. Grasp the tool firmly with the front grip by 
your left hand and the rear handle by your right hand. 
Switch on the tool and wait until the blade reaches full 
speed. Push down the retracting lever with your thumb 
to retract the lower guard. As soon as you start the cut, 
release the retracting lever. Gradually lower the tool until 
its base rests flat on the workpiece to be cut. Then 
advance the tool along the cutting line until the cut is 
completed. Release the switch trigger and allow the 
blade to stop completely before withdrawing the blade 
from the workpiece. Never withdraw the blade when it is 
still rotating. A dangerous kickback could occur.

MAINTENANCE 

CAUTION: 

• 

Always be sure that the tool is switched off and 
unplugged before attempting to perform inspection 
or maintenance. 

• 

Clean out the upper and lower guards to ensure 
there is no accumulated sawdust which may  
impede the operation of the lower guarding 
system.

    A dirty guarding system may limit the 

proper operation which could result in serious 
personal injury.  The most effective way to 
accomplish this cleaning is with compressed air. 

If 

the dust is being blown out of the guards be 
sure the proper eye and breathing protection is 
used.

• 

Never use gasoline, benzine, thinner, alcohol or 
the like. Discoloration, deformation or cracks may 
result. 

Adjusting for accuracy of 90° cut (vertical cut) 

This adjustment has been made at the factory. But if it is 
off, adjust the adjusting screw with a hex wrench while 
squaring the blade with the base using a triangular rule, 
try square, etc.
