BATTERY CHARGE STATUS TEST
4.2.1.
Press trigger, all LEDs lit: battery charged, one LED lit: battery needs charging.
4.3.
In order to maintain battery efficiency: DO NOT fully discharge. After every use fully charge the battery, charge every 4 months
even if tool is not used. If a decrease of performance of the tool is noticed, charge the battery.

SETTING DEPTH OF CUT
5.1.1.
Loosen the Cut Depth Lock and adjust the position of the saw blade to suit. Use the scale engraved on the metal bracket aligned
with the moulded mark on the body to set the required depth. Ensure that the Lock screw is firmly tightened before use.
5.2.
SETTING CUT BEVEL ANGLE
5.2.1.
Loosen the Bevel Lock (fig.1) and adjust the angle of the saw to suit. Use the scale engraved on the sole plate set to the
required angle. Ensure that the Lock screw is firmly tightened before use.
5.3.
CUTTING PROCEDURES
Secure loose work pieces with a clamp, vice or other adequate holding device.
9
DO NOT switch the saw on whilst the blade is in contact with the workpiece.

5.3.1.
Depress the Trigger Lock (fig.1) in either direction and gently squeeze the Trigger (fig.1).
NOTE:
To stop the motor, release the Trigger. The Trigger Lock will automatically re-engage.

DANGER: Keep hands away from cutting area and the blade. Keep your second hand on auxiliary handle, or motor housing. If both
hands are holding the Saw, they cannot be cut by the blade.
DO NOT reach underneath the workpiece. The guard cannot protect you from the blade below the workpiece.
8
5.3.2.
Adjust the cutting depth to the thickness of the workpiece. Less than a full tooth of the blade teeth should be visible below the
workpiece.
5.3.3.
Never hold piece being cut in your hands or across your leg. Secure the Workpiece to a stable platform. It is important to support
the work properly to minimize body exposure, blade binding, or loss of control.
5.3.4.
Hold the power tool by insulated gripping surfaces only, when performing an operation where the cutting tool may contact hidden
wiring. Contact with a "live" wire will also make exposed metal parts of the power tool "live" and could give the
operator an electric shock. Always use blades with correct size and shape (diamond versus round) of arbour holes. Blades that do
not match the mounting hardware of the saw will run eccentrically, causing loss of control.
5.3.5.
Never use damaged or incorrect blade washers or bolt. The blade washers and bolt were specially designed for your saw, for
optimum performance and safety of operation.
5.4.
KICKBACK CAUSES AND RELATED WARNINGS
5.4.1.
Kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched, bound or misaligned saw blade, causing an uncontrolled saw to lift up and out of the
workpiece toward the operator when the blade is pinched or bound tightly by the kerf closing down, the blade stalls and the motor
reaction drives the unit rapidly back toward the operator; – if the blade becomes twisted or misaligned in the cut, the teeth at the
back edge of the blade can dig into the top surface of the wood causing the blade to climb out of the kerf and jump back
toward the operator.
5.4.2.
Kickback is the result of saw misuse and/or incorrect operating procedures or conditions and can be avoided by taking proper
precautions as given below.
5.4.3.
a) Maintain a firm grip with both hands on the saw and position your arms to resist kickback forces. Position your body to either side
of the blade, but not in line with the blade. Kickback could cause the saw to jump backwards, but kickback forces can be controlled
by the operator, if proper precautions are taken.
