ENGLISH
MAINTAINING MAXIMUM CUTTING CAPACITY (fig. 2 & 3)
• Unplug the tool before any adjustment is attempted.
• This tool is factory adjusted to provide the maximum cutting capacity for a 10”
(25.4 cm) saw blade.
• When installing a new blade, always check the lower limit position of the blade
and if necessary, adjust it as follows:
• First, unplug the tool. Push the carriage toward the guide fence fully and lower
the handle completely. Use the hex wrench to turn the adjusting bolt until the
periphery of blade extends slightly below the top surface of the rotary table at the
point where the front face of the guide fence meets the top surface of rotary table.
• With the tool unplugged, rotate the blade by hand while holding the handle all the
way down to be sure that the blade does not contact any part of the lower base.
Re-adjust slightly, if necessary.
CAUTION:
After installing a new blade, always be sure that the blade does not
contact any part of the lower base when the handle is lowered completely. Always
do this with the tool unplugged.
ADJUSTING THE STOPPER ARM (fig. 4)
• The lower limit position of the blade can be easily adjusted with the stopper arm.
Move the stopper arm in the direction of the arrow as shown in the figure.
• Adjust it to position A for full cutting. Adjust the adjusting bolt so that the blade
stops at the desired position when lowering the handle fully.
• Adjust it to position B, for dado cutting. Adjust the adjusting bolt so that the blade
stops at the desired position when lowering the handle.
ADJUSTING THE MITRE ANGLE (fig. 5)
• Loosen the knob by turning counterclockwise.
• When you have moved the knob to the position where the pointer points to the
desired angle on the mitre scale, tighten the knob clockwise.
• The height adjustable foot is to help keep the tool in balance. After each mitre
angle adjustment, you should turn knob on the foot clockwise or counterclockwise
until its bottom touches the ground.
CAUTION:
When turning the rotary table, be sure to raise the handle fully. After
changing the mitre angle, always secure the rotary table by tightening the knob firmly.
