NOTE

Values of the inclined gauge provided on the base merely serve as a rough guideline. For cutting operation at an inclined posture, use the circular saw after adjusting the angle between the base and the saw blade with a protractor, etc.

3.Regulating the guide (Fig. 16)

The cutting position can be regulated by moving the guide to the left or right after loosening its knob bolt. The guide may be mounted on either the right or left side of the tool.

4.Fine tuning of parallelism

It is possible to fine-tune the parallelism of the saw blade to the base using the parallelism adjustment screw.

Adjustment has already been made at the time of shipment from the factory. However, in the unlikely event of parallelism being faulty, adjust as follows.

(1)Unfasten only the mounting screws of the saw cover hinge portion (Fig. 17).

(2)Retract the lower guard into the saw cover.

(3)Insert wood chip in the rear side of the saw blade base, and mark the position on the base

(Fig. 18).

(4)Move the marked wood chip to the front of the base, and turn the parallelism adjustment screw so that the marking corresponds to the base side (Fig. 19).

NOTE

After parallelism adjustment, if the saw cover hinge portion is loose, tighten the M5 U-Nut. Do not over tighten the nut as this may result in deformation of the bevel plate.

(5)After adjustment, fasten the mounting screws tightly in place.

NOTE

Parallelism may be slightly faulty if the cutting depth is adjusted after parallelism adjustment.

5.Adjusting the guide piece

On the circular saw, it is possible to make fine adjustment of the fixing position of the guide piece, where the saw blade and the premarked line are to be aligned.

When the saw is shipped from the factory, the linear portion of a front scale on the guide piece is aligned with the central position of the saw blade (Fig. 20).
