OPERATION
WARNING:
The tool should never be connected to a power
supply when you are assembling parts, making
adjustments, cleaning, performing maintenance, or
when the tool is not in use. Disconnecting the tool
will prevent accidental starting that could cause
serious injury.
STARTING/STOPPING THE SAW
See Figure 9.
To start the saw: Depress the switch trigger.
Always let the blade reach full speed, then guide the saw
into the workpiece.
WARNING:
The blade coming in contact with the workpiece
before it reaches full speed could cause the saw
to "kickback" towards you resulting in serious
injury.
To stop the saw: Release the switch trigger.
After you release the switch trigger, allow the blade to come to
a complete stop. Do not remove the saw from the workpiece
while the blade is moving.
ADJUSTING BLADE DEPTH
See Figure 10.
Always keep correct blade depth setting. The correct blade
depth setting for all cuts should not exceed 1/4 in. (6.35 mm)
below the material being cut. More blade depth will increase
the chance of kickback and cause the cut to be rough. For
more depth of cut accuracy, a scale is located on the upper
blade guard.
Follow these directions to adjust the blade depth.
n Unplug the saw.
n Pull depth adjustment lever upward to release.
n Determine the desired depth of cut.
n Locate depth of cut scale. It is visible to the inside of the
lower blade guard when the saw is raised.
n Hold base flat against the workpiece and raise or lower
saw until the indicator mark on bracket aligns with notch
on blade guard.
n Press down on depth adjustment lever to secure the
position.
