4. Using an allen wrench, turn the set screw on the underside of the
shoe until the blade and the shoe are both in flush contact with the
square. Retighten the Bevel Adjust Lever.
ADJUSTING DEPTH ADJUSTMENT AND BEVEL ADJUSTMENT
LEVERS
It may be desirable to adjust the depth adjustment lever or the bevel
adjustment lever. (They may loosen in time and hit the shoe before
tightening). To tighten either, follow the steps below.
DISCONNECT PLUG FROM POWER SUPPLY
1. Using a small screwdriver, pry the lock ring (A) off.
2. Remove the lever and rotate it in the desired direction about 1/8
of a revolution.
3. Reinstall the lock ring with the concave side against the lever to
hold it in place.
Blades
A dull blade will cause slow, inefficient
cutting, overload on the saw motor, excessive
splintering and increase the possibility of
kickback. Change blades when it is no longer
easy to push the saw through the cut, when
the motor is straining, or when excessive heat
is built up in the blade. It is a good practice
to keep extra blades on hand so that sharp blades are available for
immediate use. Dull blades can be sharpened in most areas; see
SAWS-SHARPENING in the yellow pages.
Hardened gum on the blade can be removed with kerosene,
turpentine, or oven cleaner. Anti-stick coated blades can be used
in applications where excessive build-up is encountered, such as
pressure treated and green lumber.
VISUALLY EXAMINE CARBIDE BLADES BEFORE USE.
REPLACE IF DAMAGED.
