Depth Adjustment
• When the diameter of the blade has been reduced
due to sharpening, it may be necessary to adjust
the depth stop. When a new blade is installed, it
is necessary to check the clearance of the blade to
the turn table structure.
Setting Blade Depth for
Normal Full Cuts
• The depth stop adjustment is a feature used when
cutting grooves in the workpiece. (See page 28 for
cutting grooves.)
1. Loosen and turn both of the lower Jam Nuts to just
above the threaded end of the Depth Stop Bolt.
2. Press Depth Stop Release Button and pull up
Depth Stop Bolt until nuts hit the bottom of its
support frame.
3. Set the table to the 0° miter position. Push down
and slide back saw head to the full back position.
4.
While looking at both the blade and the corner
where the fence meets the table, turn the Depth
Stop Bolt to set the blade depth to about 1/4 inch
below the table’
s surface.
5. Release the saw head to the up position.
6.
Turn both lower Jam Nuts to be tight against the
bottom of the support frame.

7. Practice slide cutting (with tool unplugged) to veri-
fy that the blade does not touch table. If it clears
the table, make a practice cut (with tool plugged)
on scrap wood to verify that the cut goes com-
pletely through the lower front edge of the work-
piece
Do not start the miter saw without
checking for interference between
the blade and the turn table structure. The blade
could be ruined if it cuts into the table structure.
Setting Blade Depth for
Cutting Grooves
The depth stop can be easily adjusted to limit the
cutting depth, such as when creating a rough slot.
(See page 30 for instructions)
Kerf Insert
The kerf insert should be adjusted close to the blade,
but without touching the blade, in order to avoid tear-
out on the bottom of the workpiece.
1. Lower the head assembly and lock into position.
2. Loosen the six (6) kerf screws using the multi pur-
pose tool.
3. Adjust the kerf inserts as close to the blade (teeth)
as possible without touching the blade.
4. Tighten the kerf screws.
NOTE: At extreme bevel angles the saw blade may
slightly cut into kerf insert.
