ASSEMBLY & ADJUSTMENTS
WARNING! TO REDUCE RISK OF INJURY:
• When carrying the saw, hold it close to your body to avoid
injury to your back. Bend your knees when lifting the saw.
• Carry the saw by the base, table, housing, or motor. Do not
carry the saw by the power cord or upper arm.
• Secure the saw in a position where people cannot stand,
sit, or walk behind it. Debris thrown from the saw could
injure people standing, sitting, or walking behind it. Secure
the saw on a firm, level surface where the saw cannot
rock. Make sure there is adequate room for handling and
properly supporting the workpiece.
BLADE GUARD FOOT ADJUSTMENT
When cutting at angles, the blade guard foot should be adjusted
so it is parallel to the table and rests just above the workpiece.
1. To adjust, use a hex wrench to loosen the screw on the back
of the blade guard foot (Fig. 6 - 1), tilt the foot so it is parallel to
the table, and tighten the screw.
2. Loosen the blade guard knob (Fig. 6 - 2) to raise or lower the
foot until it just rests on top of the workpiece. Tighten the knob.
ADJUSTING THE DUST BLOWER
For best results, the dust blower tube (Fig. 7 - 1) should be ad-
justed to direct air at both the blade and the workpiece.
DUST COLLECTION PORT
A hose or vacuum accessory (not provided) should be connect-
ed to the dust port adapter (Fig. 8 - 1). Push the short end of the
dust port adapter onto the dust port at the rear of the saw base.
If excessive sawdust buildup occurs inside the base, use a wet/
dry vacuum cleaner or manually remove sawdust by unlock-
ing both side panel knobs and opening the side panels. Once
the sawdust is removed, close the side panels and re-lock both
knobs to ensure safe and efficient cutting. The outer diameter
of the dust port adapter is 1-1/2 inches; the inner diameter is
1-5/16 inches.
