MAKINGDEPTH-OF-CUTADJUSTMENTS(Fig. 7)
ALWAYS use the correct blade depth setting° The correct blade depth setting for all cuts
should not be more than 1/4-inch below the material being cut (see Fig 4). Allowing more
depth will increase the chance of kickback and cause the cut to be rough. Your saw is
equipped with a depth-of-cut scale that provides increased depth-of-cut accuracy,
"Thedepth-of-cut scale is located on the inside back of the upper blade guard
