ASSEMBLY/ADJUSTMENT SET-UP
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF INJURY, ALWAYS REMOVE BATTERY
FROM SAW BEFORE ANY OF THE FOLLOWING ADJUSTMENT OPERATIONS.
CUTTING DEPTH ADJUSTMENT - FIGURES I & J
The depth of cut should be set according to the thickness of the workpiece.
Loosen the depth adjustment knob (14) to
unlock the saw shoe (8) as shown in figure I.
Move the saw shoe into the desired
position. The corresponding depth of cut
can be read from the scale (17).
Tighten the knob or lever to lock the saw
shoe in place.
Set depth adjustment of saw such that one
tooth (18) of the blade projects below the
workpiece (19) as shown in figure J.
BEVEL ANGLE ADJUSTMENT - FIGURE K
This tool can be set to bevel angles between
and 50°.
Loosen the bevel adjustment knob (13) to
unlock the saw shoe.
Move the saw shoe (8) into the desired
position. The corresponding bevel angle can
be read from the scale (20).
Tighten the bevel adjustment knob (13) to
lock the saw shoe in place.
SHOE ADJUSTMENT FOR 90° CUTS
IF ADDITIONAL ADJUSTMENT IS NEEDED:
Adjust the saw to 0° bevel.
Retract blade guard (11).
Loosen bevel adjustment knob (13). Place a
square against the blade (10) and shoe (8) to adjust the 90° setting.
Loosen jam nut (13b) and move the adjustment screw (13a) (inset figure K) so that the
shoe will stop at the proper angle. Retighten jam nut.
Confirm the accuracy of the setting by checking the squareness of an actual cut on a
scrap piece of material.
