TO ADJUST THE BLADE DEPTH
The blade depth should be set so that the outer points of the
blade are higher than the workpiece by approximately 1/8 in.
to 1/4 in. but the lowest points (gullets) are below the top
surface.
See Figure 32.
WARNING:
Unplug the saw and make sure the blade guard assembly
is installed and working properly to avoid serious personal
injury.
1. Push the bevel locking lever to the left for elevation
mode.
2. Raise the blade by turning the blade adjusting handle
clockwise or lower it by turning the handle
counterclockwise.
TO ADJUST THE BLADE ANGLE
See Figure 33.
WARNING:
Unplug the saw and make sure the blade guard assembly
is installed and working properly to avoid serious personal
injury.
1. Push the bevel locking lever to the right for angle mode.
2. Angle the blade by turning the blade adjusting handle
until the bevel indicator shows the correct angle.
3. Return the bevel locking lever securely to the left to lock
the angle, while holding the blade adjusting handle in
place.
TO SET THE SCALE TO THE BLADE
The scale is usable from 0-24 in. to the right side of the blade
and 0-21 in. on the left side of the blade. The operator can
select any desired dimension within those ranges. Use the
following steps to set the scale to the blade and scale
indicator. Begin with the blade at a zero angle (straight up).
See Figure 34.
1. Loosen the rip fence by raising the locking handle.
2. Using a framing square, set the rip fence 2 in. from the
blade tip edge.
3. Loosen both front and rear rails by lifting the front and
rear rail clamps.
See Figure 33.
4. Adjust the front rail until the 2 in. mark is placed at the
scale indicator. Align the rear rail to the front rail.
5. Tighten the rails and check the dimension and the rip
fence in both directions.
WARNING:
Blades coast after turn off. Possible serious injury can
occur if hands come in contact with blade.
