BLADES
WARNING! To minimize the risk of eye injury, always
use eye protection. Carbide is a hard but brittle material.
Foreign objects in the workpiece such as wire or nails
can cause tips to crack or break. Only operate saw when
proper saw blade guard is in place. Mount blade securely
in proper rotation before using, and always use clean,
sharp blade.
If you need assistance regarding blades, please contact
your local STANLEY dealer.
Depth of Cut Adjustment (FIG. E–G)
1. Raise the depth adjustment lever (16) to loosen.
2. To obtain the correct depth of cut, align the notch (17)
on the depth adjustment strap with the appropriate mark
on the upper blade guard (12).
3. Tighten the depth adjustment lever.
4. For the most efficient cutting action using a carbide
tipped saw blade, set the depth adjustment so that
about one half of a tooth projects below the surface of
the wood to be cut.
5. A method of checking for the correct cutting depth is
shown in (FIG. G). Lay a piece of the material you plan
to cut along the side of the blade, and observe how
much tooth projects beyond the material.
Bevel Angle Adjustment (FIG. H)
The bevel angle adjustment mechanism (7) can be adjusted
between 0° and 45°.
1. Turn the bevel adjustment knob (6) to loosen.
2. Tilt the foot plate to the desired angle mark on the pivot
bracket (21).
3. Turn the bevel adjustment knob to retighten.
Kerf Indicator (FIG. I)
The front of the saw shoe has a kerf indicator (20) for
vertical and bevel cutting. This indicator enables you to
guide the saw along cutting lines penciled on the material
being cut. The indicator lines up with the left (inner) side
of the saw blade, which makes the slot or “kerf” cut by the
moving blade fall to the right of the indicator. The notches
on the base plate indicate 0º and 45º.
Mounting and Adjusting the Parallel Fence (FIG. J)
The parallel fence (22) is used for cutting parallel to the
edge of the workpiece.
MOUNTING (FIG. J-K)
1. Insert parallel fence adjustment knob (23) into the hole
(25) as shown in (FIG. J), keeping the knob loose to
allow the parallel fence to pass.
2. Insert the parallel fence (22) into the base plate (8) as
shown in (FIG. J).
3. Tighten the parallel fence adjustment knob (23).
ADJUSTING
1. Slacken the fence adjustment knob (23) and set the
parallel fence (22) to the desired width. The adjustment
can be read on the parallel fence scale.
2. Tighten the fence adjustment knob (23).
