STOP FENCE POSITION

The Stop Fence is designed with three 
mounting positions on the Saw Base. It may 
be moved back in two additional positions to 
allow for cutting wider materials. It is factory 
assembled with the Stop Face located near-
est the centerline of the blade. To do so:

•  Remove both retaining bolts of the 

Stop Fence with a 17mm wrench  
(not included).

•  Move the Stop Fence to align with one 

of the two additional positions on the 
Saw Base 

(FIGS 4 & 5)

.

•  Replace bolts and tighten. 

BLADE DEPTH

If the Blade does not cut all the way through 
the workpiece, the Depth Stop may need 
adjustment. To do so, follow Depth Stop 
Adjustment Procedure:

•  Release the Trigger and raise the 

saw. Wait until the motor comes to a 
complete stop.

•  Unplug the Saw. 
•  Remove the workpiece. 
•  Loosen the Lock-nut on the Depth 

Stop Bolt as shown in 

(FIG 6)

 using a 

14mm wrench (not included).

•  Turn the Depth Stop Bolt with a 14mm 

wrench (not included) to change the 
cutting depth. Raising it will decrease 
the cutting depth while lowering it will 
increase the cutting depth.  

NOTE:

 For a proper depth setting, the Blade should protrude only slightly below the edge of the 

slot in the Saw Base. Under no circumstances should the Saw Blade ever contact the Saw Base 
or underlying surface.

•  Following adjustment, re-tighten the Lock-nut on the Depth Stop Bolt securely against the  

Saw Base with a 14mm wrench (not included).
