OPERATION
DEPTH OF CUT ADJUSTMENT
Always keep correct blade depth setting. The correct blade depth setting for all cuts should not exceed 1/4 in. below the material to be cut. More blade depth will increase the chance of kickback and cause the cut to be rough.
TO ADJUST BLADE DEPTH
■Unplug your saw.
WARNING:
Failure to unplug your saw could result in accidental starting causing possible serious personal injury.
■Loosen depth adjustment knob. See Figure 9.
■Hold base flat against the work and raise or lower saw until the required depth is reached.
■Tighten depth adjustment knob securely.
