TELESCOPING GUARD
WARNING: The telescoping
guard (A) Fig. 3, is a safety
device important to your
protection. Every time you
use the saw, see that the
telescoping guard rotates
freely and returns quickly and
completely to its closed
position. At least once a
month, remove any
accumulated sawdust, pitch,
etc., from the area around the
hub (B), of the telescoping
guard. DO NOT LUBRICATE THIS AREA. The hub has a dry film
lubricated surface that does not need oiling. 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 adjustment 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 upper guard (B) Fig. 4, is marked in
1
/4" increments for
convenience in setting depth of cut. Align the depth segment mark
(C) Fig. 4, with the desired depth marking on the guard.
4. Press depth adjusting locking lever down firmly locking saw in selected
position.
