cutting operation. When the work load is high, the tool
will run in the "high torque mode" for powerful cutting
operation.

Adjusting depth of cut

CAUTION:
After adjusting the depth of cut,
always tighten the lever securely.
Loosen the lever and move the base up or down. At the
desired depth of cut, secure the base by tightening the
lever.
For cleaner, safer cuts, set cut depth so that no more
than one blade tooth projects below workpiece. Using
proper cut depth helps to reduce potential for danger-
ous KICKBACKS which can cause personal injury.
