DEPTH STOP

I

The depth stop limitsthe blade'sdownwardtravel. It, allows the blade to go below the miter table enoughto maintain full cutting capacities. The depth stop posi- tions the blade 114in. from the miter table support.

Note: The miter table supportis locatedinside miter table.

The depth stop is factory set to providemaximum cutting capacity for the 10 in. sew blade providedwith

your saw. Therefore, the saw blade providedshould never need adjustments.

However, when the diameter of the blade has been reduced due to sharpening, it may be necassery to adjust the depth stop to providemaximum cutting capacity. Also, when a new blade is installed,it is necessary to check the clearance of the blade to the miter table support before startingthe saw. Make adjustments if needed.

DEPTH STOP ADJUSTMENTS

See Figure 25.

•Unplug your saw.

_k WARNING: Failure to unplugyour saw could result in accidental starting causing posaible

serious personal injury.

To adjust the depth stop use a 17 mm wrench or adjustable wrench and loosenthe hex nut at the rear of the miter sew arm.

Use the 5 mm hax key wrench providedto adjust the depth stop adjustmentscrew. The saw blade is lowered by tuming the screw counter-cloctoNIse and raised by turning the screw clockwise.
