MAKING DEPTH-OF-CUT ADJUSTMENTS (Fig. 8)
ALWAYS use the correct blade depth setting The correct blade depth setting for all cuts
should net be more than 1/4-inch below the material being cut (see Fig 5) Allowing more
depth will increase the chance of kickback and cause the cut to be rough Your saw is
equipped with a deptb-oFout scale that provides increased depth-of-cut accuracy
The depth-of-cut scale is located on the inside back of the upper blade guard
