Adjusting cutting depth (0-55 mm) 

4

- for an optimal quality cut the saw blade should not

extend more than 3 mm below the workpiece

- loosen lever J

scale using indicator L

- tighten lever J

Adjusting cutting angle (0-45°) 

5

correspond with value on cutting depth scale

90° Cutting angle check 

5

- adjust and tighten foot K to maximum cutting depth 

4

- adjust and tighten cutting angle to 0°
- check for 90° angle between the blade and bottom of

foot with a square

supported part of the workpiece

- can be adjusted to allow you to choose whether waste

material is on inner or outer side of blade 

6

b

! cutting width is determined by width of blade

teeth and not by width of blade body

! always make trial cuts first to verify actual line of

cut

Dust suction
- connect vacuum cleaner to extension Q 

2

! never let the vacuum cleaner hose interfere with

the lower guard or the cutting operation

- one may also use a dust bag (SKIL accessory
