Disconnect plug from power source. Loosen
the depth adjustment lever located between
the guard and handle of saw. Hold the foot
down with one hand and raise or lower saw by
the handle. Tighten lever at the depth setting
desired. Check desired depth (Fig. 3).
Not more than one tooth length of the blade
should extend below the material to be cut, for
minimum splintering (Fig. 4).

The safety switch is designed to prevent
accidental starts. To operate safety switch,
press the release button with your thumb on
either side of handle to disengage the lock,
then pull the trigger (Fig. 5). When the trigger
is released the button will engage the safety
switch automatically, and the trigger will no
longer operate. (See Switch & General Cuts
on page 9.)

Disconnect plug from power source. Set foot to
maximum depth of cut setting. Loosen bevel
adjustment wing nut, set to 0° on quadrant,
retighten wing nut and check for 90° angle
between the blade and bottom plane of foot with
a square (Fig. 6). If adjustment is necessary, tilt
foot to 45°, tighten bevel adjustment wing nut
and bend "TAB" with an adjustable wrench or
pliers (Fig. 7).

Disconnect plug from power source. The foot
can be adjusted up to 45° by loosening the
bevel adjustment wing nut at the front of the
saw. Align to desired angle on calibrated
quadrant. Then tighten bevel adjustment wing
nut (Fig. 8). Because of the increased amount
of blade engagement in the work and
decreased stability of the foot, blade binding
may occur. Keep the saw steady and the foot
firmly on the workpiece.
