Figures 7 2a and b. Adjust depth by locating and activating release (between
blade housing and motor by rear handle), move body of saw until angle
provides ideal depth of blade. Quadrant gauge would be hidden by dust cover
so it has been removed in this image. Once set to proper depth, reset release.
Check your depth; for minimum splintering no more than one
tooth lengthshould extend below the material.
Bevel Adjustment
Disconnect ttie tool from power source.
The base plate can be
adjusted up to 65
°
maximum and -5
°
minimum. The bevel
adjustment lever is located at the front of the saw. To set, loosen
the bevel adjustment lever, align to desired angle, and then
tighten the bevel adjustment lever. There are larger notches on
the slide adjuster to indicate standard angles used. Using higher
angle adjustments decreases base plate stability and increases
thelikelihood of binding. Ensure the work piece is properly
secured and base plate is firmly set on work piece.
