d. DEPTH OF CUT AT 90°
Always keeps correct blade depth setting. The correct blade depth setting for all cuts should
not exceed 1/4 in. 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.
The Circular Saw has an adjustable depth of cut. To adjust the depth of cut slackens the lever
located on the side of the machine, Fig.15.
Measure the depth required from the base plate to the highest point of the blade or use the
depth gauge on the fixed guard, Fig.16.
Tighten the depth adjustment knob securely.
e. ANGLE OF CUT 0-45º
To adjust the angle of cut between 0-45° slacken the adjustable angle of cut locking knob,
Fig.17.
The base plate assembly will now pivot between 0- 45°. Set the desired cutting angle by using
degree scale at the front of the machine and tighten locking knobs.
WARNING! Always wear safety goggles or safety glasses with side shields during power tool
operation or when blowing dust. If operation is dusty, also wear a dust mask.
At the front of the base plate there are two notches marked 0° and 45<. These notches are a
guide to indicate the position of the blade in relation to the cut being made in the material.
f. STARTING AND STOPPING
To start the machine, press in the lock-off switch Fig.18 then depress and hold in the trigger,
Fig.19. There is no need to hold the lock-off switch in as it remains in place as long as the
trigger is depressed. To stop the saw, release the trigger, which allows the lock-off switch to
return to the locked position. Do not attempt to jam the lock-off switch.
NOTE: You can depress the lock-off button from either the left or right side.
Always let the blade reach full speed, and then guide the saw into the workpiece.
