OPERATION

ADJUSTING BLADE DEPTH

See Figure 14.

Always keep correct blade depth setting. The correct

blade depth setting for all cuts should not exceed 1/4 in. (6.35 mm) 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.

Follow these directions to adjust the blade depth.

n Install battery pack into the tool and start the motor.

NOTE: Do not touch the blade to the workpiece until the saw has reached maximum speed.

n Slowly push the saw forward into the workpiece.

NOTE: Keep the laser beam on the marked line on the workpiece for precision cutting.

n Once the cut is complete, allow the saw to come to a complete stop before turning off the laser.
