OPERATION
ADJUSTING BLADE DEPTH
See Figure 12.
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 upper blade
guard.
n Loosen the depth adjustment knob.
n Determine the desired depth of cut.
n Locate the depth of cut scale on the back of the upper
blade guard.
n Hold the base flat against the workpiece and raise or
lower the saw until the indicator mark on bracket aligns
with the notch on the blade guard.
n Tighten the depth adjustment knob securely.
