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
adjustment lever, located beside the upper
guard.
To set the depth of cut:
a. Remove the battery pack from the circular
saw.
b. Loosen the depth-adjustment lever by pushing
it up (Fig. 4a).
c. Hold the foot of the saw flat against the edge
of the workpiece and use the main handle
to raise or lower the saw. Align the bottom
contour of the depth-adjustment lever with the
desired depth-of-cut mark on the calibrated
depth bracket and tighten the lever (Fig. 4a).
NOTICE:
Check the desired depth. Not more
than one tooth length of the blade should
extend below the material to be cut to minimize
splintering (Fig. 4b).
The four most common cutting depths are
marked on the calibrated depth bracket. These
settings help the operator to quickly set the saw
to cut through the material with thickness of
1/4", 1/2", 3/4" plywood,1x, 2x, and 3x lumber
respectively, while allowing one tooth length of
the blade to extend below the material.
