SAW OPERATIONS, CON’T
7.The arrow in Fig.8 is pointing to a screw that operates as a positive 90° stop. It is secured with a jam nut. Loosen the nut and turn the screw so that it contacts the base. Do Not over tighten. Over tightening this screw will cause the saw base to warp and will upset the angle of the blade.
8.Loosen the screw on the index point- er just to the left of the angle degree scale. Rotate the pointer until it is lined up with the zero degree mark. Retighten the screw.
Guide Notch and Scale:
The trim saw is provided with a Guide Notch and Scale. These are located on the leading edge of the saw base.
The notch is used for following a line through a cut and the scale allows an off- set reference from a cut.
It should be noted that these are provided for one blade thickness. Blades without carbide teeth or with carbide teeth that are thinner or thicker may render the guide notch and scale inaccurate.
Setting the Edge Guide:
1.Remove battery.
2.Loosen the retaining screw on the right hand side of the leading edge of the saw base.
3.Insert the edge guide in the slot just below the retaining screw.
4.Slide the edge guide until it is insert- ed through a slot provided on the left hand side of the saw base.
5.Determine the width of cut needed for your project and slide the edge guide using the scale provided.
6.Tighten the retaining screw. Always double check the distance between the tip of the blade to the inside edge of the edge guide. Blade thicknesses can vary, causing the scale on the edge guide to read inaccurately.
Setting Blade Angle:
1.Loosen the angle locking knob.
2.Rotate the saw base until the index pointer is at the desired angle and tighten knob.
3.For best results always check the blade angle with a protractor or angle guide before making a cut. Make a test cut into scrap lumber and check the angle of the cut. Readjust as nec- essary.
