ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
DEPTH OF CUT ADJUSTMENTS
Always keep the correct blade-depth setting. The correct blade-depth setting for
all cuts should not exceed 1/4 in. below the material to be cut. Excess blade depth
will increase the chance of kickback and cause the cut to be rough. One blade
tooth below the material to be cut works is best for efficient cutting action.
TO ADJUST BLADE DEPTH
(fig 7)
1. Unplug the circular saw from the power
supply.
2. Loosen the depth-of-cut adjustment
lever by lifting it up.
3. Determine the desired depth of cut.
4. Hold the base of the saw flat against
the edge of the workpiece and
then raise or lower the saw until the
indicator on the bracket aligns with the desired depth on the depth scale.
5. Tighten depth-of-cut adjustment lever securely.
BEVEL ADJUSTMENTS
The angle of cut can be adjusted to any desired setting between 0°and 56°.
Because blade thicknesses vary and different angles require different settings,
always make a trial cut in scrap material along a guideline to determine how
much you should offset the guideline on the workpiece to be cut.
