DEPTH ADJUSTMENT (FIG. 5A AND 5B)
Remove the battery pack from the circular saw.
a. Loosen the depth-adjustment lever by pushing
it up towards the motor housing.
b. Hold the foot down with one hand and use the
handle to raise or lower the saw.
c. Align the notch on the depth bracket with the
desired depth-of-cut mark on the upper guard
and tighten the depth-adjustment lever.
Check the set depth. Not more than one tooth
length of the blade should extend below the
material to be cut to minimize splintering.
NOTICE: The four most common cutting depths
are marked on the upper guard. These settings
help the operator to quickly set the saw to cut
through the material with thickness of 1/4", 1/2",
3/4", and 2×PLY, respectively, while allowing
one tooth length of the blade to extend below
the material.
CHECK THE 90° CUTTING ANGLE (FIG. 6)
Remove the battery pack from the circular saw.
a. Set the foot to the maximum depth of cut
setting. Loosen the bevel-adjustment lever,
set the bevel indicator to 0° on quadrant,
retighten the lever, and check for 90° angle
between the blade and bottom plane of foot
with a square.
b. Use a 2.5mm hex key (not included) to make
adjustments, if necessary, by turning the small
alignment screw from bottom side of the foot.
