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. Align | |
the appropriate mark on the depth adjustment strap with triangle | |
(K, Fig. 5) on the upper blade guard. Your depth is set. | |
For the most efficient cutting action using a carbide tipped saw blade, | |
set the depth adjustment so that about one half of a tooth projects | |
below the surface of the wood to be cut (Fig. 6). | |

1.To set the saw for a bevel cut, turn the knob (C) to loosen the bevel adjustment.
2.Tilt the shoe to the desired angle by aligning the pointer (L) with the desired angle mark on the pivot bracket.
3.Retighten the bevel adjustment by turning the knob (C).
A method of checking for the correct cutting depth is shown in Figure 7. Lay a piece of the material you plan to cut along the side of the blade, as shown in the figure, and observe how much tooth projects beyond the material.
Bevel Angle Adjustment (Fig. 8)
The full range of bevel adjustment is from 0 to 50º. The pivot bracket is graduated in increments of 1º.
On the front of the saw is a bevel angle adjustment mechanism consisting of a quadrant with a pointer (L) and a knob (C).
Bevel Detent (Fig. 8)
The saw has a bevel stop at 45º. To set the bevel at an angle greater than 45º, tilt the shoe to 45º, then slide the knob (C) into the upper slot. When you reach the desired angle, tighten the knob.
Kerf Indicator
The front of the saw shoe has a kerf indicator for vertical and bevel cutting. This indicator enables you to guide the saw along cutting lines penciled on the material being cut.
OPERATION
