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
Fig.1
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.
