0° POSITIVE STOP
The saw is equipped with an adjustable positive stop at 0°. Check the
accuracy of this stop periodically. To adjust:
1. Loosen the bevel adjustment lever (A) Fig. 8, and position the base for a
0° cut. Confirm that the bevel-stop sleeve (B) Fig. 8 is against the 0°
stop screw (C).
2. Turn the saw upside down, retract the telescoping guard, and check to
see that the blade is square (Fig. 9).
3. To adjust, loosen the bevel adjustment knob (A) Fig. 8. While keeping
the bevel stop sleeve (B) Fig. 8 in contact with the stop screw (C) Fig. 8,
use a screwdriver to turn the adjusting screw (A) Fig. 10 until the blade
is square.
USING SAWDUST EXHAUST NOZZLE
The sawdust exhaust nozzle in the closed position
(Fig. 12) directs the sawdust to the rear of the saw.
The sawdust exhaust nozzle pointing forward (Fig. 13) directs the sawdust
to the front. To change the position of the nozzle, push down on the top of
the nozzle and turn the nozzle to the new position. An accessory vacuum
hose assembly is available for connecting the sawdust exhaust nozzle in the
forward position directly to a shop type vacuum cleaner.
DO NOT direct sawdust toward yourself or others. To
avoid injury from flying sawdust, keep the exhaust nozzle either in the
forward position or in the closed position. DO NOT insert foreign objects
into the exhaust opening.
