To assure product SAFETY and RELIABILITY, repairs, maintenance

and adjustment (including brush inspection and replacement) should

be performed by authorized service centers or other qualified service

organizations, always using identical replacement parts.

4. Using an allen wrench, turn the set screw on the underside of the

shoe until the blade and the shoe are both in flush contact with the

square. Retighten the Bevel Adjust Lever.

ADJUSTING DEPTH ADJUSTMENT AND BEVEL ADJUSTMENT

LEVERS

It may be desirable to adjust the depth adjustment lever or the bevel

adjustment lever. (They may loosen in time and hit the shoe before

tightening). To tighten either, follow the steps below.

DISCONNECT PLUG FROM POWER SUPPLY

1. Using a small screwdriver, pry the lock ring (A) off.

2. Remove the lever and rotate it in the desired direction about 1/8

of a revolution.

3. Reinstall the lock ring with the concave side against the lever to

hold it in place.

Blades

A dull blade will cause slow, inefficient

cutting, overload on the saw motor, excessive

splintering and increase the possibility of

kickback. Change blades when it is no longer

easy to push the saw through the cut, when

the motor is straining, or when excessive heat

is built up in the blade. It is a good practice

to keep extra blades on hand so that sharp blades are available for

immediate use. Dull blades can be sharpened in most areas; see

SAWS-SHARPENING in the yellow pages.

Hardened gum on the blade can be removed with kerosene,

turpentine, or oven cleaner. Anti-stick coated blades can be used

in applications where excessive build-up is encountered, such as

pressure treated and green lumber.

VISUALLY EXAMINE CARBIDE BLADES BEFORE USE.

REPLACE IF DAMAGED.
