ADJUSTING DEPTH ADJUSTMENT AND QUADRANT LEVER OR KNOB
It may be desirable to adjust the depth adjustment and quadrant adjustment
levers. (They will sometimes hit the shoe before fully tightening or loosening
completely.)
To adjust either lever, follow the steps below.
1. TURN OFF TOOL AND DISCONNECT FROM POWER SUPPLY.
2. Using a small screwdriver, pry the lock ring off, as shown in Figure 12.
3. Remove the lever and rotate it in the desired direction about 1/8
revolution. (More or less as necessary.)
4. Reinstall the lever and insert the lock ring with concave side against
lever to hold it in place. (see Figure 13)
TOOL OPERATION
Switch
Pull the trigger switch to turn the motor ON. Releasing the trigger turns the
motor OFF. Releasing the trigger also automatically actuates the electric brake
on units so equipped. This tool has no provision to lock the switch in the ON
position, and should never be locked ON by any other means.
Work Piece Support
Figure 14 shows proper sawing position. Note that hands are kept away from
cutting area, and power cord is positioned clear of the cutting area so that it
will not get caught or hung up on the work. Note that a special cord keeper
has been provided on the tool’s handle. Press the cord firmly into the cord
keeper to keep it out of the way but in sight so you know where it is at all
times.
