workpiece could result in personal injury
and/or property damage.
The depth adjustment
system should be not
used to change the depth while the saw is
in operation, or for plunge cutting.
If
blade adjustment shifts while cutting, it
may cause binding and kickback.
To adjust the cutting depth follow these
instructions (Fig. 4):
A.

For a smaller cutting depth, pull the
saw away from the foot
13

for a deeper cutting depth, push the
saw toward the foot
13
. The cutting
depth scale
15
has both inch and
metric scales.
D.
Tighten the depth adjustment lever at
the desired depth setting.
Note:
Not more than one tooth length of
the blade should extend below the material
to be cut, for minimum splintering (Fig. 5).
90° Cutting Angle Check
A.
