OPERATION
ADJUSTING BLADE DEPTH
See Figure 12.
Always keep correct blade depth setting. The correct blade depth setting for all cuts should not exceed 1/4 in. below the material being cut. More blade depth will increase the chance of kickback and cause the cut to be rough. For more depth of cut accuracy, a scale is located on the upper blade guard.
nLoosen the depth adjustment knob.
nDetermine the desired depth of cut.
nLocate the depth of cut scale on the back of the upper blade guard.
nHold the base flat against the workpiece and raise or lower the saw until the indicator mark on bracket aligns with the notch on the blade guard.
nTighten the depth adjustment knob securely.
