Grasp the wheel and rotate it counterclockwise to lower the saw blade.
CAUTION: Adjust the saw blade height so it is about 1/8" (3.2 mm) above the top of the workpiece. Raising the saw blade much higher than the workpiece does not make it cut better. It is unsafe and provides less table surface in front of the saw blade.
Never operate while saw blade rotating.
