TO ADJUST DEPTH-OF-CUTFOR NORMAL CUTTING
Adjust the depth-of-cut so that the saw blade barely protrudes through the
thickness of the workpiece. To adjust:
Disconnect the tool from the power source!
1. Lift the depth adjustment locking lever (A)
Fig. 6, located at the rear of the saw.
2. Raise or lower the saw housing to the
correct level.
NOTE: The upper guard (B) Fig. 6 is marked in
1/4" increments for convenience in setting the
depth of cut. Align the depth segment mark
(C) Fig. 6 with the desired depth marking on
the guard.
3. Press the depth-adjusting locking lever
down firmly to lock the saw in the selected position.
TO ADJUST FOR BEVEL CUTS
Disconnect the tool from the power source!
1. Loosen the bevel-adjusting lever (A)
Fig. 7.
2. Tilt the saw base until the desired
graduation line on the bevel segment
(B) Fig. 7 aligns with the indicator (C)
Fig. 7 on the bracket.
3. Tighten the bevel-adjusting lever
firmly.
4. For bevel cuts greater than 45
°, set
the guide on the 45
° mark. Lift the
bevel-adjusting lever into the slot
(D) Fig. 7 and move the saw base to
the greater angle. Tighten the bevel-
adjusting lever firmly.
0° POSITIVE STOP
The saw is equipped with an adjustable positive stop at 0°. Check the accuracy of
this stop periodically. To adjust:
Disconnect the tool from the power source!
1. Loosen the bevel adjustment lever (A) Fig. 8, and position the base for a 0°
cut. Confirm that the bevel stop (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 to the base (Fig. 9).
