ASSEMBLY & ADJUSTMENTS
SETTING THE BEVEL SCALE INDICATOR
1. Before setting the bevel scale indicator, the table must be
perpendicular to the saw blade. See section titled, "Squar-
ing the Table with the Blade" on page 15.
2. Loosen the screw (Fig. 10 - 5) holding the bevel scale
indicator.
3. Adjust the direction of the indicator so that it accurately
points to 0° on the bevel scale. Tighten the screw.
ADJUSTING THE CUTTING DEPTH
The saw cutting depth can be adjusted if you would like to
perform a kerfing or rabbet cut that does not cut all the way
through the workpiece.
1. Unplug the tool from its power source and raise the saw
head assembly.
2. Locate the depth stop settings on the right side of the
saw (Fig. 11).
3. Pull down on the saw head to check the current setting.
To change the setting, continue to step 4.
4. Loosen the depth stop knob (Fig. 11 - 1).
To increase
depth
, turn the depth stop knob counterclockwise.
To de-
crease depth
, turn the depth stop knob clockwise.
5. Check that the blade will not hit the table, fence, kerf
board, or other part of the saw during the cut. Check the
cutting depth setting by completing a test cut on a piece of
scrap wood. Repeat steps 4 - 5 until the desired depth is
achieved.
ADJUSTING THE FENCE
1. Loosen the fence adjustment knob (Fig. 12 - 1).
2. Adjust the fence as desired. The top portion of the left
fence (Fig. 12 - 2) can slide to the left and right, while the
bottom portion of the fence (Fig. 12 - 3) stays stationary.
3. Tighten the fence adjustment knob to lock the fence into
place.
WARNING:
DO NOT
adjust the depth stop
screw. Only adjust the depth stop knob (Fig. 11
- 1). The depth stop screw is used to prevent the
blade from cutting the table during normal cut-
ting. DO NOT adjust the depth stop screw.

WARNING:
To prevent serious injury, after
making any adjustments to the cutting angle,
make sure both sides of the fence are clear of
the blade's cutting path. With the power OFF,
move the blade through its full range of motion
to check this.
