Adjusting depth of cut

CAUTION:

•After adjusting the depth of cut, always tighten the lever

securely.

Loosen the lever on the side of the rear handle and move the

base up or down. At the desired depth of cut, secure the

base by tightening the lever.

For cleaner, safer cuts, set cut depth so that no more than

one blade tooth projects below workpiece. Using proper cut

depth helps to reduce potential for dangerous KICKBACKS

which can cause personal injury.

Loosen the clamping screws in front and back. Set for the

desired angle (0° - 50°) by tilting accordingly, then tighten the

clamping screws securely. Use the 45° stopper when you do

precise 45° angle cutting. Turn the lever clockwise fully for

bevel cut (0° - 45°) and turn it counterclockwise for 0° - 50°

bevel cuts.

For straight cuts, align the A position on the front of the base

with your cutting line. For 45° bevel cuts, align the B position

with it.
