the first trick you're going to need to
know is how do you get this lifted up
you may think that's funny but if you
don't know how to do it you may get it
back you may feel helpless that you
can't start your project you know this
is actually in the locked position take
this little button here sometimes
doesn't work very well you got to kind
of push down this take a little bit of
slack off badge on full of hours it's
not not I have there pull it off arm up
now this will come up here like this
that's your first little trick to know
it's kind of get acquainted with this
saw not use this particular saw before
I'm borrowing this saw from somebody and
should be able to push this down see if
I can loosen that up okay
okay push that down and then see you can
swivel this to whatever degrees you want
which is kind of cool and it locks into
place at zero let's see where the next
one is twenty two and a half and then I
pick at 45 it snaps to
okay that snaps and then you don't have
to lock this handle down but any other
degrees if you want let's say five
degrees you can set it there then you've
got to tighten this handle down to keep
this blade from moving keep this table
from moving too soon I mean always make
sure you do that on any part where it
doesn't snap down into place and I'm
glad I checked this is it was on two
degrees when I first looked at it last
thing you want to do is when you start
cutting your wood let's say it's on two
degrees you got it all set down you
start cutting it you're not going to
have square ends so when you butt it up
against the wall it's not going to fit
properly will it okay so loosen that up
snap that into place now maybe he had it
at two degrees for a reason maybe maybe
this table is out of whack so you know
before I start I'll probably take a
square and set it up do one cut and and
make sure that it's nice and straight
before I start cutting all of my
materials they don't have to compensate
but generally if this snaps into place
at zero dad then you know that's going
to be a perfect 90 degree cut now here's
something cool this saw has that some
other saws don't have gotten his handle
back here you got to loosen that up
screw that a little bit and then this
should fold down see this holds down at
an angle that's pretty slick huh
then you can tighten it back up at
whatever angle you want you look at that
down there then you can cut your wood at
an angle you might have to do that
depending how tall your baseboard is or
anything like that
so you can you can put the table at an
angle you can flip the saw over at an
angle and work with it like that
this pops back up now to get a 45 see if
not it's not going over far enough
before taking this this little table
edge well on that table there's a little
set screw on the side of it slide that
back get it out way think you can see
that you can get that you can get that
out of the way so then you 45s
loosen that up keep that all the way
down at a 45 it kind of sets into place
this one doesn't not CH
and set in any certain areas it's got a
definite stop at zero and a definite
stop 45 so I'm going to do a 45 degree
cut and let it stop I'll still check it
and looks fine and I can tighten that up
and I want to make sure that this table
this little table extension on this side
it's over far enough push my blade down
it's not going to hit it kind of awkward
to cut this way but trim comes out
really nice at the times you need to
angle your your blade over and only
flops over on the left-hand side you
can't take this and flop it over to the
right so every time you cut you have to
cut this way so sometimes you have to
figure out on your trim tape how am I
going to cut those angles got an
on both ends let's say you got to think
about it a little bit before you you
start cutting your material
now in this saw here here's the outlet
work where the dust is going to come out
a lot of it now this should have a dust
bag on it and then you know you could
cut inside a house you know and it's not
going to put out that much dust you're
still going to have some dusting on the
saw blade when you're doing it like that
but because I'm borrowing this from
somebody and it doesn't have a dust bag
of course I've got to leave it outside
because this is just going to keep
flying out that way every time I make a
cut all right keep your dust to a
minimum around your project especially
like I said we've got hardwood floor
down even if I had a dust bag I think I
would still cut outside depending where
I'm at if I'm up on a second floor and
I've got to cut the trim and do the
baseboard and all that kind of stuff I
might think twice about I might bag off
an area or or just kind of deal with it
make sure I have a dust bag on there and
clean up the best I can when I get done
you know so think about your project and
work accordingly
