MAKING DEPTH-OF-CUT ADJUSTMENTS
Always use the correct
blade-depth setting. The
correct blade-depth setting
for all cuts should not be
more than 1/4-inch deeper
than the material being cut.
Increased cutting depth
will increase the chance
of kickback and cause the
cut to be rough. Your saw
is equipped with a depth-
of-cut scale that provides
increased depth-of-cut
accuracy. The depth-of-cut
scale is located on the left side of the bracket (Fig 8).
TO SET THE BLADE DEPTH
WARNING: Always unplug the saw before making any adjustments.
Failure to unplug the saw could result in accidental starting, which can
cause serious personal injury.
1. Unplug the saw.
2. Raise the depth-of-cut adjustment lever to loosen the base (Fig. 8).
3. Determine the desired depth of cut (see page 19).
4. Locate the depth-of-cut scale on the left side of the bracket (Fig. 8).
5. Hold the base of the saw flat against the edge of the workpiece, and then
raise or lower the saw until the indicator aligns with the desired depth-of-
cut mark.
6. Tighten the depth-of-cut adjustment lever.
STARTING A CUT
WARNING: Always securely clamp and support the workpiece. Always
maintain proper control of the saw. Failure to clamp and support the work-
piece and loss of control of the saw could result in serious injury.
WARNING: Always maintain proper control of the saw to make sawing
safer and easier. Loss of control of the saw could cause an accident resulting
in possibly serious injury
