ASSEMBLY
USING THE DEPTH STOP
See Figure 9.
When used, the depth stop limits the downward travel of
the blade when cutting dadoes and other non-through cuts.
To use the depth stop:
Remove the battery.
If the saw is in storage or transport position, unlock the
saw arm.
Rotate the depth stop away from the motor housing.
With the end of the depth control knob touching the depth
stop, adjust the depth control knob by turning the knob
until the desired depth of cut is attained.
A wooden spacer of at least 2 1/2 inches must be placed
between the workpiece and the fence for a consistent
depth of cut in the workpiece. Use the work clamp to
clamp the spacer and another suitable clamp to clamp
the workpiece. Make the slide cut at the desired depth.
See Figures 35 and 36
.
Rotate the depth stop back towards the motor housing
for normal through cuts.
NOTE:
The depth stop must be moved toward the motor
housing before locking/unlocking the saw arm.
