Maintaining maximum cutting capacity

Kerf board

Left bevel cut

Straight cut

CAUTION:

After changing the bevel angle, always readjust the kerf boards as described above.

This tool is factory adjusted to provide the max. cutting capacity for a 216 mm (8-1/2") saw blade. When using a saw blade other than 216 m m (8-1/2") saw blade, adjust the lower limit position of the blade as follows:

First, remove the battery cartridge. Push the carriage toward the guide fence fully and lower the handle completely. Use the socket wrench to turn the adjusting bolt until the periphery of the blade extends slightly below the top surface of the turn base at the point where the front face of the guide fence meets the top surface of the turn base. With the battery cartridge removed, rotate the blade by hand while holding the handle all the way down to be sure that the blade does not contact any part of the lower base. Re-adjust slightly, if necessary.

After installing a new blade, always be sure that the blade does not contact any part of the lower base when the handle is lowered completely. Always do this with the battery cartridge removed.
