WArNINg:
unplugged from the power source. Accidental saw
start-up could result in serious personal injury.
NOTE:
The miter saw should come adjusted properly for depth
of cut while using the factory-installed blade for normal operation.
The downward travel or depth of cut, of the saw blade can be
controlled to prevent contact with the metal surfaces of the miter
saw, to insure the blade completely cuts through the workpiece,
and permit depth of cut settings for special operations.
To Adjust The Miter Saw Blade's Cutting Depth
:
NOTE
This is factory set and usually does not require
adjusting. (This saw may not come with the necessary tools for
the following procedure.)
1. Locate the cutting depth adjustment (1+2) assembly on the
left side of the saw arm near the dust port.
2. If the saw arm is locked in the down position, release it by
pulling the saw arm lock knob out.
3. Loosen the nut (2) counter-clockwise several turns. Using the
5mm Allen wrench, loosen or tighten to adjust the stop bolt (1). Clockwise rotation will raise the depth
of cut; Counter-clockkwise will lower the depth of cut.
