TELESCOPING GUARD
The telescoping guard (C) Fig. 9 is a safety device important
for your protection. Every time you use the saw, make sure
that the telescoping guard rotates freely and returns quickly
and completely to its closed position. Before each use,
remove any accumulated chips, or shavings from the area
around the hub (B) Fig. 9 of the telescoping guard. (Refer to
"REMOVING DEBRIS"). DO NOT LUBRICATE THIS AREA.
The hub has a dry film lubricated surface that does not need
oiling. NEVER block or wedge the telescoping guard in the
open position.
NEVER use your saw if the telescoping guard is not in
working order. If telescoping guard movement is sluggish or
if binding exists, return the saw to your nearest
AUTHORIZED PORTER-CABLE SERVICE STATION or
PORTER-CABLE SERVICE CENTER for repair.
TO ADJUST DEPTH OF CUT
Adjust the depth of cut so that the saw blade protrudes through the
thickness of workpiece. To adjust the depth of cut:
DISCONNECT TOOL FROM POWER SOURCE.
1.
Lift the depth-adjusting locking lever (A) Fig. 10 at the rear of the saw.
2.
Raise or lower the saw housing until the blade extends the desired
depth below the base.
3.
Press the depth-adjusting locking lever down firmly, locking the saw in
the selected position.
HOW TO USE THE TOOL
Effective control of this powerful saw requires two-handed operation for
maximum protection.
