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

Not more than one tooth length of the blade
should extend below the material to be cut, for
minimum splintering (Fig. 3).

Disconnect plug from power source. Set foot to
maximum depth of cut setting. Loosen bevel
adjustment lever, set to 0° on quad rant,

on depth bracket with mark on housing and
tighten lever (Fig. 1). Then loosen bevel
adjustment lever, depress 45° stop spring,

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.

For a straight 90° cut, use the large notch in
the foot. For 45° & 51° bevel cuts, use the
small notch (Fig. 6). The cutting guide notch
will give an approximate line of cut. Make
sample cuts in scrap lumber to verify actual
line of cut. This will be helpful because of the
number of different blade types and
thicknesses available. To ensure minimum
splintering on the good side of the material to
be cut, face the good side down.
