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 approxi-
mately 1/8 in. to 1/4 in. but the lowest points (gullets)
are below the top surface. See Figure 36.
,_ WARNING: Unplug the saw and make sure the
blade guard assembly is installed and working
properly to avoid serious personal injury.
• Push the bevel locking lever to the leftfor elevation
mode.
• Raise the blade by turning the blade adjusting
handle clockwise orlower it by turning the handle
counterclockwise.

TO SET THE SCALE TO THE BLADE
The scaleis usable from0-24 in. to the rightside of
the blade and 0-21 in. on the left side of the blade.
The operator can select any desired dimensionwithin
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). See Figure 38.
• Loosen the rip fence byraising the locking handle.
• Using a framing square, set the rip fence 2 in. from
the blade tip edge.
• Loosen both front and rear rails by lifting the front
and rear rail clamps. See Figure 37.
• 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 railsand check the dimension and the
rip fence in both directions.
