DEPTH ADJUSTMENT
Your saw is equipped with a depth detent
system that will stop the foot at 2x, 3/4", 1/2",
and 1/4" standard lumber depths.
Disconnect plug from power source. Loosen
the depth adjustment lever located in the
housing of saw. Hold the foot down with one
hand and raise or lower saw by the handle.

90° CUTTING ANGLE CHECK
Disconnect plug from power source. Set foot to
maximum depth of cut setting. Loosen bevel
adjustment lever, set to 0° on quadrant,
retighten lever and check for 90° angle
between the blade and bottom plane of foot
with a square (Fig. 5). Make adjustments by
turning the small alignment screw from bottom
side of foot, if necessary.
BEVEL ADJUSTMENT
Your saw is equipped with a bevel detent
system that will stop the foot at 22.5°, and 45°
angles.
Disconnect plug from power source. The foot
can be adjusted up to 56° by loosening the
bevel adjustment lever at the front of the saw.
Align to desired angle on calibrated quadrant.
Then tighten bevel adjustment lever (Fig. 6).
Your saw also features a adjustable bevel
adjustment lever for consistent locking. To
adjust, simply pull outward on lever and
reposition to desired position (Fig. 1).
Because of the increased amount of blade
engagement in the work and decreased
stability of the foot, blade binding may occur.
