DEPTH OF CUT ADJUSTMENT

STARTING A CUT

Know the right way to use your saw.

See Figure 16.

Always keep correct blade depth setting. The correct blade depth setting for all cuts should not exceed 1/4 inch below the material to be cut. More blade depth will increase the chance of kickback and cause the cut to be rough. One blade tooth below the material to be cut works best for most efficient cutting action.

TO ADJUST BLADE DEPTH

Remove battery pack from saw.

,_ WARNING: Failure to remove battery pack from saw could result in accidental starting causing

possible serious personal injury.
