ADJUSTMENTS
ADJUSTING 0° BEVEL STOP
Remove battery pack.
Loosen bevel lock knob.
Loosen hex nut securing adjusting screw.
Turn adjusting screw and adjust base until square with
saw blade.
Tighten hex nut and bevel lock knob securely.
WARNING:
Attempting a bevel cut without having the bevel lock knob
securely tightened can result in serious injury.
ADJUSTING THE DEPTH LOCK LEVER
See Figure 21, page 16.
Over time, due to wear, the depth lock lever may move from
its original setting. If the lever prematurely contacts any part
of the saw during tightening and loosening, adjust the lever
by following these steps:
Remove the battery pack.
Pull depth lock lever upward away from the base to
release.
Pull saw base down to the minimum depth of cut position,
then push the depth lock lever down toward the base to
secure.
Insert a flathead screwdriver into the space between the
lock nut and the E-ring. Remove the E-ring.
Note the position of the lever on the nut. Slide the depth
lock lever off the hex portion of the lock nut.
Rotate the depth lock lever one “flat” clockwise around
the nut. Then slide it back into place on the hex portion.
Push the E-ring back into the groove on the lock nut until
it snaps into place. Take care that the E-ring does not pop
off the lock nut.
Loosen the depth lock lever and return the base to the
full depth of cut position and lock the depth setting by
pushing downward on the depth lock lever. The base
should be locked securely in position when locked and
be free to move when released.
