Cutting depth should always be set at just past the
bottom of the workpiece. The best way to accurately set
the depth is to position the saw along one edge of the
workpiece so that the blade extends below the workpiece
(similar to the process of allowing the blade to extend
when being changed). Once the blade is extended,
determine the necessary depth by allowing the blade to
extend roughly
1
⁄
8
" beyond the bottom of the workpiece,
as shown in
Figure 14
.
To set the cutting depth, do these steps:
1.
Loosen the depth stop lock knob and adjust the
depth gauge along the scale to the maximum depth
desired for the cut (see
Figure 15
).
2.
Retighten the lock knob. The saw blade will now
extend only to that set point.
Note:
The cutting depth shown on the scale is the
depth WITHOUT the rail track. The track adds an
additional
3
⁄
16
" thickness to the cutting point.
Setting Cutting Depth
Setting Cutting Angle
The cutting angle of the blade can be set with the bevel
gauge. Cutting angles can be set from 90°–45°.
To set the cutting angle, do these steps:
1.
Loosen the front and rear bevel gauge knobs (see
Figure 16
).
2.
While holding the base plate, carefully pull the body
of the saw out to the desired angle. (Refer to the
angular scale along the side of the bevel gauge.)
3.
Tighten the front and rear bevel gauge knobs.
