WARNING: It is potentially dangerous to install, and try to use
the Edge Guide with the arm passing through only one (1) of the
machined rectangular sole plate slots.
Adjust the edge guide so that it is at the required distance from
the blade and tighten the adjusting screw.
Check that the edge guide is parallel to the saw blade.

CUTTING DEPTH ADJUSTMENT
Note:
All CCS machines share the same general depth
adjustment fixtures/fittings and employ the same basic
technique for setting the blade depth.
• Loosen the Depth Adjustment Locking Mechanism by pulling
the operating lever upwards. (Fig. 10) (CCSL shown.
All other models are similar).
• Adjust/re-position the sole plate to give the required cutting
depth (the amount by which the blade protrudes through the
sole plate).
Note: A depth scale can be found on the depth adjustment
quadrant, with a corresponding index mark incorporated into
the adjacent area of the machines upper blade guard. (Fig. 11)
Using these features can aid rapid setting.
Note: Although the depth scale and index mark are very useful,
enabling rapid depth setting, using them should always be
regarded as a guide to the setting achieved.
If a very precise depth of cut is required, then the blade setting
should be checked with an engineers precision ruler (not
supplied) or similar and adjusted accordingly.
• In most cases the cutting depth should be set at the thickness
of the material to be cut plus the depth of half of a saw tooth
(tip of the tooth to the tooth root). (Fig.12)
• Tighten the Depth Adjustment Locking Mechanism by
pushing the operating lever downwards to securely to lock in
the machine in the required position.

CUTTING ANGLE (BEVEL) ADJUSTMENT
The F165CCSL circular saw has the facility to tilt the blade
through (up to) 45
0
to the left hand side. Bevel cuts are therefore
possible.
Note: The blade is at the vertical position when the protractor
scale reads 0
0
.
Note: A protractor scale (0
0
- 45
0
) is incorporated on the Bevel
Locking quadrant found at the front of the soleplate. Using this
will aid rapid bevel angle setting but should be regarded as a
guide only.
