TELESCOPING GUARD
WARNING: The telescoping guard (A), Fig. 3, is a safety device
important to your protection. Everytime you use the saw, see that the
telescoping guard rotates freely and returns quickly and completely
to its closed position. Frequently check the retracting spring (B), Fig.
3, to see that it is functional and free of foreign matter. At least once
a month, remove any accumulated sawdust, pitch, etc. from the area
around the hub (C) of the telescoping guard, and add a few drops of
light machine oil at each end of the hub. NEVER block or wedge the
telescoping guard in the open position.
CAUTION: Never use your saw if the telescoping guard is not in
working order. If telescoping guard movement is sluggish or binding
exists, return the saw to your nearest AUTHORIZED PORTER-CABLE
SERVICE STATION or PORTER-CABLE SERVICE CENTER for repair.
TO ADJUST DEPTH OF CUT FOR NORMAL CUTTING
It is recommended that the depth of cut be adjusted so that the saw blade just
protrudes through the thickness of material being cut. Adjust depth of cut as
follows:
1. CAUTION: DISCONNECT TOOL FROM POWER SOURCE.
2. Lift up depth adjusting locking lever (A), Fig. 4, at rear of saw.
3. Raise or lower saw housing until the blade extends the desired distance
below base.
NOTE: The depth adjusting segment (B) Fig. 4 is marked in
1
/8"
increments for convenience in setting depth of cut. Aligning required
marking with lower edge of housing will produce approximate depth
of cut desired.
