Troubleshooting

If blade does not want to follow straight line:

• Teeth are dull on one side. This is caused by

hitting a hard object such as a nail or stone,

dulling teeth on one side. The blade wants to

cut to the side with the sharpest teeth.

• Shoe is out of line or bent

• Blade is bent

• Failure to use rip fence or guide

If blade binds, smokes, or turns blue from friction:

• Blade is dull

• Blade is on backwards

• Blade is bent

• Blade is dirty

• Workpiece is not properly supported

• Failure to use correct blade

General Operation

Always clamp workpiece securely on a saw horse

or bench. See “Applications” for the correct way to

support your work in different situations. A typical

application is shown below.

1. Draw cutting line. Place front of shoe on edge of

workpiece without making blade contact. Hold

switch handle with one hand and top handle with

the other.

2. Line up sighting notch with your cutting line.

Position arms and body to resist kickback. Pull

trigger, allowing motor to reach full speed before

beginning cut.

3. While cutting, keep shoe at against workpiece

and maintain a rm grip. Do not force saw through

the work. Forcing a saw can cause kickback.

4. If making a partial cut, restarting in mid-cut or

correcting direction, allow blade to come to a

complete stop. To resume cutting, center blade

in kerf, back saw away from cutting edge a few

inches, pull trigger and re-enter cut slowly.

5. If saw stalls, maintain a rm grip and release

trigger immediately. Correct problem before

continuing (see “Preventing Kickback”).

6. After nishing a cut, be sure lower guard closes

and blade comes to a complete stop before set-

ting down saw.

• Blade depth and bevel adjusting locking levers

must be tight and secure before making cut. If

blade adjustment shifts while cutting, it may cause

binding and kickback.

• Use extra caution when sawing into existing

walls or other blind areas. The protruding blade

may cut objects that can cause kickback.

• Do not use dull or damaged blades. Unsharp-

ened or improperly set blades produce narrow

kerf causing excessive friction, blade binding and

kickback.
