2. Loosen the depth stop lock nut by turning it
counterclockwise.
3. Turn the depth stop screw to raise or lower it. Adjust until
the cut off blade enters the base slot no more than 3/16"
(5 mm) when the swing arm is fully lowered and contacts
the top of the depth stop screw.
4. When the depth stop screw is correctly set, lock it in
place by tightening the lock nut clockwise.
CHECKING THE AUTOMATIC GUARD
The automatic guard must be checked to ensure it is working
properly.
WARNING
Always disconnect your chop saw from the power source
before checking the automatic guard.
1. Lift the guard upward approximately 3" and then release
it. (Figure 2) If the guard is functioning correctly, it will
freely drop down to its original position.

2. Lower the swing arm and cutting disc assembly until
the lower edge of the guard touches the chop saw
base. Continue to lower the swing arm and cutting disc
assembly. The automatic guard should freely rise as the
cutting disc is lowered.
NOTE: The guard should always rise and fall freely when the
swing arm is lowered and raised as outlined in #1 and #2
above. If not, clean any cuttings out from around the guard
mechanism. (Figure 3)

cut off disc is fully tightened.

checking the arbor cap screw.

2. Lift the disc guard fully upward until it will stay in the
upright position. (Figure 4)

3. Press and hold the arbor lock to the right while rotating
the cut off disc by hand.
4. When the arbor lock engages the arbor, tighten the arbor
cap screw by turning it clockwise using the 8 mm hex key
supplied.
NOTE: Only use the hex key supplied to tighten the arbor
cap screw. Do not over tighten the arbor cap screw as you
could crack the hub of the cutting disc.
5. When the arbor cap screw is fully tightened, remove the
hex key, release the arbor lock and lower the disc guard.
