ADJUSTMENTS
WARNING
Detach the battery pack from the tool before performing any
assembly, adjustments, or changing accessories. Such preventive
safety measures reduce the risk of starting the tool accidentally.
Depth-of-Cut Adjustment (Fig . 4a & 4b)
Your tool is equipped with a depth-of-cut lock knob, located beside the motor housing. To set
the depth of cut:
a. Remove the battery pack from the circular saw.
b. Loosen the depth-lock knob (Fig. 4a).
c. Hold the foot of the saw flat against the edge of the workpiece and use the handle to raise
or lower the saw. Align the depth indicator on the depth bracket with the desired depth-of-cut
mark on the upper guard and tighten the knob (Fig. 4a).
NOTICE:
Check the desired depth. Not more than one tooth length of the blade should
extend below the wood to be cut to minimize splintering of the top side (Fig. 4b).
WARNING
Adjust the cutting depth so that no more than one tooth is visible
below the work piece.
Excessive blade exposure below the workpiece
could result in personal injury and/or property damage.
d. Tighten the depth-lock knob.

Bevel Adjustment (Fig . 5)
a. Remove the battery pack from the circular
saw.
b. Loosen the bevel-lock knob at the front of
the saw. Tilt the saw foot and align the bevel
indicator to the desired angle on the bevel
bracket, and then tighten the bevel-lock
knob. The foot can be adjusted up to 45°.
WARNING
Because of the increased
amount of blade
engagement in the work and decreased
stability of the foot, blade binding may
occur. Keep the saw steady and the foot
firmly on the workpiece.
