ASSEMBLY AND ADJUSTMENTS
WArNING:
Always be sure that the tool is switched off and unplugged before
adjusting, adding accessories, or checking a function on the tool.
WArNING:
4-1/2” is the maximum blade capacity of your saw. Never use a
blade that is too thick to allow the outer flange washer to fit properly on the spindle. Too
thick a blade will prevent the blade bolt from securing the blade on the spindle. Larger
diameter blades will contact the blade guards. Either situation could result in a serious
accident.
BLADE INSTALLATION ( FIG 2,3,4 )
•
unplug your circular saw.
•
Press and hold the spindle lock button (19). Rotate the blade
spindle until it engages.
•
using the Allen wrench (9) provided, remove the blade bolt and
washer (13) by turning it clockwise.
•
Remove the outer flange (13b).
•
Lift the lower guard and slide the blade onto the spindle. The
arrow on the saw blade must match the arrow showing direction
of rotation on the guard.
•
Replace the outer flange.
•
Replace the blade bolt and washer.
•
Depress and hold the spindle lock button, tighten the blade bolt
securely by turning it counterclockwise with the Allen wrench.
REMOVING THE BLADE (FIG 2,3,4)
• unplug your circular saw.
• Depress and hold the spindle lock button (19). Rotate the blade
until it engages.
• Remove the blade bolt and washer by turning it clockwise with
the Allen wrench (9) provided.
• Remove the outer flange.
• Lift the lower blade guard.
• Remove the blade from the spindle and off the saw.
ADJUSTING THE DEPTH OF CUT (FIG 5)
• unplug your circular saw.
• Loosen the depth clamp lever (17).
• Move the base (3) up or down to the desired depth as indicated
on the depth guide bracket (16).
OR
• Raise the lower blade guard and place the saw base on the work
piece to be cut with the saw blade positioned against the edge.
Hold the saw base down on the work piece surface, then raise or
lower the motor housing to obtain the desired depth of cut using
the work piece edge as a reference.
• Secure the base by tightening the lever.
NOTE
:
Always maintain the correct blade depth setting. for all cuts the blade depth should not exceed 1⁄4”
below the material being cut. Excessive blade depth increases the chance of saw KICKBACK.
BEVEL ANGLE ADJUSTMENT (FIG 5)
• Loosen the bevel clamp lever (11) on the front of the saw base.
• Tilt the saw base (3) until the desired angle is indicated on the bevel scale bracket (10).
• Tighten the bevel clamp lever securely.
• Always make a test cut in scrap lumber and measure the cut angle to confirm the bevel angle is set properly. If
necessary, adjust the bevel angle appropriately before cutting the work piece.
