the depth adjustment lever located between
the guard and handle of saw. Hold the foot
down with one hand and raise or lower saw by
the handle. Align the bottom contour of depth
adjustment lever with the desired depth of cut
mark on calibrated depth bracket and tighten
lever. Check desired depth (Fig. 1).
Not more than one tooth length of the blade
should extend below the material to be cut, for
minimum splintering (Fig. 3).
90° CUTTING ANGLE CHECK
Disconnect plug from power source. Set foot to
maximum depth of cut setting. Loosen bevel
adjustment lever, set the bevel indicator to 0°
on quadrant, retighten lever and check for 90°
angle between the blade and bottom plane of
foot with a square.
Make adjustments by turning the small
alignment screw from bottom side of foot, if
necessary (Fig. 4).
BEVEL ADjUSTMENT
Disconnect plug from power source. The foot
can be adjusted up to 45° by loosening the
bevel adjustment lever at the front of the saw.
Align to desired angle on calibrated quadrant
and then tighten bevel adjustment lever (Fig. 5).
For bevel adjustments above 45°, loosen bevel
adjustment lever, depress 45° stop spring
(Fig. 6), align foot to desired angle mark over
45 ° on quadrant and tighten lever.
