TO ADJUST DEPTH OF CUT
-
DISCONNECT TOOL FROM POWER SOURCE.
Adjust the depth of cut as desired. A depth scale is provided.
To adjust the depth of cut:
Loosen the depth lock lever and set the depth to the desired
level. Then tighten the lever. See fig 4
WARNING: Depth adjusting locking lever must be tight
and secure before making cut. If blade adjustment shifts
while cutting, it may cause binding and kickback.
HOW TO USE THE SIGHTING NOTCH
To aid in free-hand cutting, a sighting notch is located at the
front of the base. See fig 5
Align the cutting line on the workpiece with the sighting notch.
Additionally, the blade is visible through small gaps in the cover
for aligning the blade perfectly with the intended line of cut.
BLADE GUARD OPERATIONS
To test the function of the lower blade guard, rotate the guard through the full stroke of its travel and ensure
that the guard is able to fully return back to the closed position
under its own spring tension. If the guard is found to be sluggish
or if it sticks in any position, the problem will need to be
remedied before the machine is used again. It usually just needs
to be cleaned. To clean, first remove the sawblade and then
clean all around the rotating joint of the guard. All other repairs
should be performed by an authorized service center.
Kicker Lever:
When cutting materials with a soft core, such as
sandwich panel, often the lower blade guard will not be able to
bump open automatically. In this case the kicker lever may be
used to allow the lower blade guard to open just enough to get started. Simply push the lever with the thumb
