Depth Adjustment
(Fig. 4, 5)
Adjust the cutting depth so
that no more than one tooth
is visible below the work piece.
blade exposure below the workpiece could re-
sult in personal injury and/or property damage.
The depth adjustment sys-
tem should be not used to
change the depth while the saw is in opera-
tion, or for plunge cutting. If blade adjustment
shifts while cutting, it may cause binding and
kickback.

1. Disconnect Battery Pack 19 from tool.
2. Loosen the Depth Adjustment Lever 7 locat-
ed on the left side of the tool.
3. Hold the Foot 15 down with one hand and
raise or lower saw by the Handle 22.
— For a smaller cutting depth, pull the saw
away from the Foot 15;
— for a deeper cutting depth, push the saw
toward the Foot 15. The Cutting Depth
Scale 21 has an inch scale. There is also
a secondary scale visible on the lower
guard.
4. Tighten the depth adjustment lever at the
desired depth setting.
Note: Not more than one tooth length of the
blade should extend below the material to be
cut, for minimum splintering (Fig. 5).
