Kerf boards
This tool is provided with the kerf boards in the turn base to
minimize tearing on the exit side of a cut. The kerf boards are
factory adjusted so that the saw blade does not contact the
kerf boards. Before use, adjust the kerf boards as follows:

4. Saw blade 5. Blade teeth 6. Kerf board
First, unplug the tool. Loosen all the screws (2 each on left and right)
securing the kerf boards until the kerf boards can still be easily moved
by hand. Lower the handle fully, then pull and turn the stopper pin to lock
the handle in the lowered position. Release the stopper pin on the sliding
pole and pull the carriage toward you fully. Adjust the kerf boards so that
the kerf boards just contact the sides of the blade teeth. Tighten the front
screws (do not tighten firmly). Push the carriage toward the guide fence
fully and adjust the kerf boards so that the kerf boards just contact the
sides of blade teeth. Tighten the rear screws (do not tighten firmly).
After adjusting the kerf boards, release the stopper pin and
raise the handle. Then tighten all the screws securely.
NOTICE:
kerf boards are adjusted properly. Correct adjustment
of the kerf boards will help provide proper support of the
workpiece minimizing workpiece tear out.
Maintaining maximum cutting capacity
This tool is factory adjusted to provide the maximum
cutting capacity for a 255 mm (10") saw blade.
When installing a new blade, always check the lower limit
position of the blade and if necessary, adjust it as follows:
First, unplug the tool. Turn the stopper lever to engaged position.
► 1. Stopper lever
Push the carriage toward the guide fence fully and
lower the handle completely.
Adjust the blade position by turning the adjusting bolt
with the hex wrench. The periphery of the blade should
extend slightly below the top surface of the turn base
and also comes to the point where the front face of the
guide fence meets the top surface of the turn base.
