DEPTH STOP

The depth stop limitsthe blade'sdownward travel. It allows the blade to go below the miter table enough to maintain full cuttingcapacities. The depth stop posi- tions the blade 114 in. from the miter table support.

Note: The miter table supportis located inside miter table.

The depth stop is factory set to providemaximum cutting capacityfor the 12 in. saw blade providedwith your saw. Therefore, the saw blade provided should never need adjustments.

However, when the diameter of the blade has been reduced due to sharpening,it may be necessary to adjust the depth stop to provide maximum cuffing capacity.Also, when a new blade is installed, it Is necessary to check the clearance of the blade to the miter table supportbefore starting the saw. Make adjustmentsif needed.

DEPTH STOP ADJUSTMENTS

See Figure 25.

•Unplug your saw.

WARNING: Failure to unplugyour saw could result in accidental startingcausing possible

serious personal injury.

To adjust the depth stop use a 17 mm wrenchor adjustablewrench and loosen the hex nut at the rear of the miter saw arm.

Use the 5 mm hex key wrench providedto adjust the depth stop adjustmentscrew. The saw blade

is lowered by turningthe screw counter-clockwiso and raised by tuming the screw clockwise.
