DEPTH=OF=CUT
ADJUSTMENT
Always
use the correct
blade-depth
setting. The correct
blade-depth
setting for
all cuts should
not be more than 1/4 in. below the material
being cut. Allowing
more depth will increase the chance of kickback
and cause the cut to be rough.
Your saw is equipped
with a depth-of-cut
scale that provides enhanced
depth-
of-cut accuracy.

Depth Scale
Locate the depth scale on the
back of the upper blade guard.
Hold the base flat against the workpiece and raise or lower the saw until the indicator
aligns with the desired depth on the depth scale.
NOTICE: The depth scale may be tight; you can adjust the depth-of-cut
adjustment
knob to loosen it. Take care not to make the depth-of-cut
adjustment
knob too loose.

Tighten the depth-of-cut adjustment knob securely by turning it clockwise.
BEVEL ADJUSTMENTS
The angle of cut can be adjusted
to any desired setting
between
0°and 50 °.
Because blade thicknesses
vary and different
angles require different
settings,
always make a trial cut in scrap material along a guideline
to determine
how
much you should offset the guideline
on the workpiece
to be cut.
