OPERATION

TO ADJUST THE BLADE DEPTH

The blade depth should be set so that the outer points of the blade are higher than the workpiece by approximately 1/8 in. to 1/4 in. but the lowest points (gullets) are below the top surface. See Figure 25.

WARNING:

Unplug the saw and make sure the blade guard assembly is installed and working properly to avoid serious personal injury.

￿Raise the blade by turning the blade adjusting handle counterclockwise or lower it by turning the handle clockwise.

TO ADJUST THE BLADE ANGLE

See Figure 26.

WARNING:

Unplug the saw and make sure the blade guard assembly is installed and working properly to avoid serious personal injury.

￿Unlock the bevel locking lever.

￿Angle the blade by turning the bevel handle until the bevel indicator shows the correct angle.

￿Lock the bevel locking lever securely while holding the bevel handle in place.

TO SET THE SCALE TO THE BLADE

The scale is usable from 0-27 in. (0-686 mm) to the right side of the blade and 0-6 3/4 in. (0-171 mm) on the left side of the blade. The operator can select any desired dimension within those ranges. Use the following steps to set the scale to the blade and scale indicator. Begin with the blade at a zero angle (straight up).

￿Loosen the rip fence by raising the locking handle.

￿Using a framing square, set the rip fence 2 in. from the blade tip edge.

￿Loosen the screw on the scale indicator. See Figure 27.

￿Adjust the front rail until the 2 in. mark is placed at the scale indicator. Align the rear rail to the front rail.

￿Tighten the screw and check the dimension and the rip fence.

WARNING:

Blades coast after turn off. Possible serious injury can occur if hands come in contact with blade.
