OPERATION
TO ADJUST THE BLADE DEPTH
The blade depth should be set so that the outer points of the blade are higher than the workpiece by approximately 1/8 in. to 1/4 in. but the lowest points (gullets) are below the top surface. See Figure 21.
WARNING:
Unplug the saw and make sure the blade guard assembly is installed and working properly to avoid serious personal injury.
Raise the blade by turning the blade adjusting handle counterclockwise or lower it by turning the handle clockwise.
TO ADJUST THE BLADE ANGLE
See Figure 22.
WARNING:
Unplug the saw and make sure the blade guard assembly is installed and working properly to avoid serious personal injury.
Unlock the bevel locking lever.
Angle the blade by turning the bevel handle until the bevel indicator shows the correct angle.
Lock the bevel locking lever securely while holding the bevel handle in place.
TO SET THE SCALE TO THE BLADE
The scale is usable from 5/8
Loosen the rip fence by raising the locking handle.
Using a framing square, set the rip fence 2 in. from the blade tip edge.
Loosen the screw on the scale indicator. See Figure 23.
Adjust the front rail until the 2 in. mark is placed at the scale indicator. Align the rear rail to the front rail.
Tighten the screw and check the dimension and the rip fence.
WARNING:
Blades coast after turn off. Possible serious injury can occur if hands come in contact with blade.
