If a foam pad or piece of carpet is used, do not
overtighten the mounting bolts. Leave some
cushion between the padding and the saw
base to help absorb the noise and vibration.
The size of the padding material should be ap-
proximately 30 in x 15 in x 1/2 in (780 mm x 390
mm x 13 mm).
ADJUSTMENTS
WARNING: To prevent accidental starting
that could cause possible serious personal in-
jury, turn off the saw and unplug the saw from
the power source before making any adjust-
ments.
DROP FOOT
To prevent workpiece from lifting, the drop
foot should be adjusted so it just rests on the
top of the workpiece. The drop foot should
not be adjusted so that the workpiece drags.
Always retighten the drop foot lock knob after
each adjustment has been made.
• Loosen the drop
foot lock knob.
• Lower or raise the
drop foot to the de-
sired position.
• Retighten the drop
foot lock knob. The
tall, front part of the
drop foot acts as a
blade guard to prevent accidental contact with
the blade.

WARNING: Failure to turn the saw off, re-
move the switch key, and unplug the saw from
the power source could result in accidental
starting causing possible serious injury.
The sawdust blower is designed and preset to
direct air to the most effective point on the
cutting line. Be sure drop foot is properly ad-
justed to secure workpiece and direct air to the
cutting surface.
• Plastic tubing should be connected to the bel-
lows tube before starting the saw.

table until it is approximately perpendicular or
at right angle to the blade.
• Place a small square on the saw table next to
the blade.
• Loosen the screw holding the scale indicator.
Move indicator to the 0° mark and securely
tighten screw. Remember, the bevel scale is
a convenient guide but should not be relied
upon for precision. Make practice cuts on scrap
material to determine if your angle settings
are correct.
• Adjust the drop foot to desired position and
securely retighten the drop foot lock knob.
SETTING THE TABLE FOR HORIZONTAL OR
BEVEL CUTTING
A bevel scale is located under the saw table
as a convenient guide for setting the approxi-
mate saw table angle for bevel cutting. When
greater precision is required, make practice
cuts on scrap material and adjust the saw table
as necessary for your requirements.
NOTE: When cutting at angles, the drop foot
should be tilted so it is parallel to the saw table
and rests flat against the workpiece. To tilt the
drop foot, loosen Phillips screw, tilt drop foot
to the proper angle, then retighten screw.
