3. Start the motor by depressing the MPB and
squeezing the trigger switch.
NOTE: Always let the blade reach full speed
(approximately 2 seconds) before you begin to
cut into the workpiece.
4. Slowly push the saw forward using both
hands.
NOTE: When making a cut always use steady,
even pressure. Forcing the saw causes rough
cuts and could shorten the life of the saw or
cause kickback. Allow the blade and the saw to
do the work.
5. After completing your cut, release the trigger
switch and allow the blade to come to a
complete stop.
NOTE: Do not remove the saw from the
workpiece while the blade is moving.
NOTE: Since blade thickness varies, always
make a trial cut in scrap wood along the
guideline to determine how much, if any, the
guideline must be offset to get an accurate cut.
Using the Parallel Fence (Cross Cut or Rip
Cut)
The parallel fence allows you to make parallel
cuts in a sheet of wood at a set width.
WARNING: Always ensure that the saw is
switched off and the POWERhandle is detached
from the tool before making any adjustments.
1. Adjust the fence angle to 90° and tighten the
Angle Lock knob (18).
2. Slide the fence (protractor) into the slot in the
sole plate.
3. Adjust the guide to the require width and
secure it to the position with the fence locking
Knob (17).
4. Ensure that the guide rests against the wood
along its entire length to give a consistent
parallel cut.
Making Pocket Cut
1. Set depth and bevel adjustment accordingly.
2. Tilt saw forward with cutting guide notch line
up with the line drawn.
3. Raise the Lower Guard by using lower blade
guard lever (12) and hold the saw.
4. With the blade clearing the material to be
cut, start the motor.
5. Gradually lower the back end of the saw
using the front end of the sole plate as the hinge
point.
WARNING: As block starts cutting the material,
release the lower guard immediately. When the
sole plate rests flat on the surface being cut,
proceed cutting in forward direction to end of cut.

Changing the blade
WARNING. Always ensure that the saw is
switched off and the POWERhandle is detached
from the tool before making any adjustments.
1. Rotate the saw blade by hand while
depressing the spindle lock button until the blade
locks.
2. Turn the blade bolt clockwise using the hex
key provided.
3. Remove the outer blade flange and the
blade bolt.
4. Remove the saw blade from the inner flange
and pull it out.
NOTE: Clean the saw blade flanges thoroughly
before mounting the new saw blade.
5. Mount the new saw blade in reverse order
and tighten the blade bolt.
WARNING. The direction in which the blade
rotates has to be the same as the direction of
the arrow marked on the housing.
Ensure that the spindle lock button is released.
Before using the saw again, check that the
safety devices are in good working order.
IMPORTANT. After replacing the saw blade,
make sure that the blade runs freely by turning it
by hand.
Re-attach the POWERhandle and run the saw
under no load to check that it runs smoothly
before using it to cut any material.
General Inspection
Regularly check that all the fixing screws are
tight. They may vibrate loose over time.
