Operation
(17) makes contact with it when the saw head is pressed down. Loosen
the locking nut on the depth of cut adjustment screw (17). Gently lower
the saw head to desired cutting depth. Adjust the screw up or down for
the desired depth of cut. Re-tighten the locking nut on the depth of cut
adjustment (17).

Cutting

Ensure a 4.0 Ah battery is charged and is fitted correctly.
Secure the workpiece with the clamp (23). Carefully stay away from the
spinning saw blade. Make sure the saw blade can not touch any of the
fences and adjust the fences if necessary.
If you intend to cut a curved work
right
piece, make sure the work piece is
not bent against the fence. Make sure
no gap forms between the work
piece, the fence and the base plate.
Long workpieces must be supported
in a suitable way, e.g. on a support
equipped with rollers. Avoid holding
or guiding workpieces in a way which compromises your balance.
To cut, press one of the safety catches (2) and operate the ON/OFF
switch (20). Allow the saw blade to reach full speed before gently
pressing down the head of the saw. When the machine has reached full
speed, press down the upper part of the saw by the handle. Whenever
possible, cut through the workpiece with a single, even motion.
Irregularly shaped workpieces can cause the upper part to kick back up
unexpectedly, therefore hold the handle with a firm grip. To stop the
saw, release the ON/OFF switch (20).

Compound Cuts

Compound cuts can be made by setting any combination of mitre,
bevel and cutting depth at the same time.
Drop Cuts
Warning! Make sure the workpiece is firmly clamped down to the base
plate and is supported against the rear fence (26) before cutting.
