8Battery protection system(Lithium-ion battery with star marking)1012128Lithium-ion batteries with a star marking are equippedwith a protection system. This system automatically cutsoff power to the tool to extend battery life.The tool will automatically stop during operation if the tooland/or battery are placed under one of the followingconditions:• Overloaded:The tool is operated in a manner that causesit to draw an abnormally high current.In this situation, release the trigger switch onthe tool and stop the application that causedthe tool to become overloaded. Then pull thetrigger switch again to restart.If the tool does not start, the battery isoverheated. In this situation, let the batterycool before pulling the trigger switch again.• Low battery voltage:The remaining battery capacity is too low andthe tool will not operate. In this situation,remove and recharge the battery.Adjusting depth of cut1006701CAUTION:• After adjusting the depth of cut, always tighten thelever securely.Loosen the lever on the side of the rear handle and movethe base up or down. At the desired depth of cut, securethe base by tightening the lever.For cleaner, safer cuts, set cut depth so that no morethan one blade tooth projects below workpiece. Usingproper cut depth helps to reduce potential for dangerousKICKBACKS which can cause personal injury.Bevel cutting1006702For Model DSS610DSS610 10-45 0-50013952Loosen the lever on the bevel scale plate on the frontbase. Set for the desired angle (0° - 50°) by tiltingaccordingly, then tighten the lever securely. Use the 45°stopper when you do precise 45° angle cutting. Turn thestopper counterclockwise fully for bevel cut (0° - 45°) andturn it clockwise for 0° - 50° bevel cuts.For Model DSS611Loosen the lever on the bevel scale plate on the frontbase. Set for the desired angle (0° - 50°) by tiltingaccordingly, then tighten the lever securely.Sighting1B 2 A006704For straight cuts, align the A position on the front of thebase with your cutting line. For 45° bevel cuts, align the Bposition with it.1. Stopper1. Base2. Cutting line1. Lever1. Lever1. Star marking
