OPERATION
Fig. 10
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. 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 elevation
bracket.
NOTE: The marks on the scale refer to the actual depth of
cut (blade exposure).
Unplug the saw.
Pull depth adjustment lever upward to release. The depth
adjustment lever is located between the guard and handle
of the saw.
Determine the desired depth of cut.
To select the depth of cut, hold base flat against the
workpiece. Raise or lower saw to align the desired mea-
surement on the scale with the lock washer indicator
located directly above the lock mechanism.
Push down on the depth adjustment lever to lock the
lever in place and secure the position.
