Adjusting depth of cut
Fig.3
CAUTION:
•
After adjusting the depth of cut, always tighten the
lever securely.
Loosen the lever on the side of the rear handle and
move the base up or down. At the desired depth of cut,
secure the base by tightening the lever.
For cleaner, safer cuts, set cut depth so that no more
than one blade tooth projects below workpiece. Using
proper cut depth helps to reduce potential for dangerous
KICKBACKS which can cause personal injury.

stopper when you do precise 45° angle cutting. Turn the
stopper counterclockwise fully for bevel cut (0° - 45°)
and turn it clockwise for 0° - 50° bevel cuts.
For Model DSS611
Loosen the lever on the bevel scale plate on the front
base. Set for the desired angle (0° - 50°) by tilting
accordingly, then tighten the lever securely.
