Adjusting the depth of cut(figURE F & G)

The depth of cut should be set according to

F

 

 

 

the thickness of the workpiece.

• Loosen the lever (12) to unlock the saw

 

 

 

shoe (figures F).

 

 

 

 

• Move the saw shoe (5) into the desired

 

 

 

 

position. The corresponding depth of cut

 

 

 

 

can be read from the scale (13).

 

 

 

 

• Tighten the lever to lock the saw shoe in

 

 

 

 

place.

• Set depth adjustment of saw such that

G

 

 

 

one half of a tooth of the blade projects

 

 

 

below the workpiece as shown in figure G.

 

 

 

 

Setting the saw at the proper cutting depth

 

 

 

 

keeps blade friction to a minimum, removes

 

 

 

 

sawdust from between the blade teeth,

 

 

 

 

results in cooler, faster sawing and reduces

 

 

 

 

the chance of kickback.
