two cross-cut rulers (one on each side of
the tool). The rip ruler is adjusted at the
factory, but the two cross-cut rulers must be
adjusted. The blade must be installed before
setting the cross-cut rulers (see “Installing

To align the cross-cut ruler, use a square
that measures at least 14" on one
side.
Torque knob
To reduce the risk of injury, do not
operate the saw without the guards
in place (see "Installing the Blade
Guard").
Always install the blade guard before operat-
ing the saw. The guard is shipped with the
chatter guard pushed up inside the blade
guard and three torque knobs installed.
Reach up into the blade guard and pull down
the chatter guard. Remove the knobs to
install the guard. Leave the rubber washers
on the torque knobs to prevent the knobs
from slipping.
Line up one edge of the square with the
tips on the saw blade and the other edge
of the square with the ruler.
The cord keeper keeps the cord away
from the saw blade and away from your
workpiece.
Slide the ruler so its measure matches
the measure on the square. A magnet
holds the ruler in place, but you may
wrap clear tape around the ruler and
frame for additional hold.
