INSTALLING ZERO CLEARANCE INSERTS
–
cont’d
To install a zero clearance insert:
1. Release the depth adjustment lever to
allow the sole plate to completely
clear the saw blade.
2. Place the insert tabs (1) into the four
slots (2) in the under side of the sole
plate (3) (Fig. 30).
3. While pressing the insert into the
mounting slots, slide it toward the front
of the sole plate.
NOTE:
The insert will snap into place
when it is slid toward the front of the sole
plate.
4. Set the depth stop to the desired
depth of cut (Fig. 7) and the bevel
angle to the desired angle (Fig. 8).
5. Using a scrap workpiece that is
THICKER than the depth setting, turn
the saw ON and make a plunge cut to
the preset depth (Fig. 16 & 17).
NOTE:
The plunge cut will allow the blade
to make a precise cut in the insert, leaving
very little clearance between the blade and
the slot in the insert.
6. Turn the saw OFF and remove the
insert. It is important to mark the cut
angle and depth on the upper side of
the insert with a felt marker for future
reference.
NOTE:
To remove the insert, push a
medium sized flat blade screwdriver into
the slot at the tab (4) (Fig. 31). Twist the
screwdriver to slide the insert back until
the four tabs can be removed from the
mounting slots in the sole plate.
