TELESCOPING GUARD
The telescoping guard (A) Fig. 3 is a safety device important to your protection. Every time you use the saw, verify that the telescoping guard rotates freely and returns quickly and completely to its closed position. At least once a month, remove any accumulated debris (sawdust, pitch, etc.) from the area around the hub (B) of the telescoping guard. DO NOT LUBRICATE THIS AREA. The hub has a dry film lubricated surface that does not need oiling. DO NOT block or wedge the telescoping guard in the open position.
DO NOT use your saw if the telescoping guard is not in working order. If telescoping guard movement is sluggish or binding exists, return the saw to your nearest AUTHORIZED
TO ADJUST DEPTH OF CUT FOR NORMAL CUTTING
Adjust the depth of cut so that the saw blade barely protrudes through the thickness of the workpiece. To adjust:
DISCONNECT TOOL FROM POWER SOURCE.
1.Lift the depth adjustment locking lever (A) Fig. 6, located at the rear of the saw.
2.Raise or lower the saw housing to the correct level.
NOTE: The upper guard (B) Fig. 6 is marked in 1/4" increments for convenience in setting the depth of cut. Align the depth segment mark
(C)Fig. 6 with the desired depth marking on the guard.
3.Press the depth-adjusting locking lever down firmly to lock the saw in the selected position.
