FUNCTIONAL 
DESCRIPTION

CAUTION:

Always be sure that the tool is switched off and unplugged before
adjusting or checking function on the tool.

Adjusting depth of cut

CAUTION:

After adjusting the depth of cut, always tighten the lever securely.

Loosen the lever on the depth guide and move the base up or down. At the
desired depth of cut, secure the base by tightening the lever.

For cleaner, safer cuts, set cut depth so that no more than one blade tooth
projects below workpiece. Using proper cut depth helps to reduce potential for
dangerous KICKBACKS which can cause personal injury.

Bevel cutting

Loosen the clamping screw on the bevel scale plate on the front of the base.
Set for the desired angle (0° - 45°) by tilting accordingly, then tighten the
clamping screw securely.

Sighting

For straight cuts, align the A position on the front of the base with your cutting
line. For 45° bevel cuts, align the B position with it.
