Maintaining maximum cutting
capacity
This tool is factory adjusted to provide the maximum
cutting capacity for a 216 mm circular saw blade.
When installing a new circular saw blade, always check
the lower limit position of the circular saw blade, and if
necessary, adjust it as follows:
1. Unplug the tool. Then, push the carriage toward
the guide fence fully and lower the handle completely.
Use the hex wrench (screwdriver side) to turn the

3. Rotate the circular saw blade by hand while
holding the handle all the way down to be sure that
the circular saw blade does not contact any part of the
lower base. Re-adjust the maximum cutting capacity, if
necessary.
WARNING:
After installing a new circular saw
blade and with the tool is unplugged, always be
sure that the circular saw blade does not contact
any part of the lower base when the handle is
lowered completely. If the circular saw blade con-
tacts with the base, it may cause kickback and result
in serious personal injury.

Stopper arm
The lower limit position of the saw blade can be easily
adjusted with the stopper arm. To adjust the lower limit, turn
the stopper arm in the direction of the arrow as shown in the
昀椀gure. Turn the adjusting screw so that the saw blade stops
at the desired position when lowering the handle fully.

NOTICE:
to reposition the kerf boards appropriately as
explained in the section for positioning kerf
boards.
NOTICE:
Do not tighten the lever too hard. Doing
