CAUTION:

3. Checking the saw blade lower limit position

Check that the saw blade can be lowered 12mm to 13mm (15/32" to 1/2") below the
table insert as shown in Fig. 10-a.

(4) Turn the 8mm hexagon socket set screw to the right (clockwise) as viewed from
behind of the tool, and let it softly contact the tip of the 8mm depth adjustment
bolt.

4. Lower limit position of saw blade when cutting a large workpiece

NOTE:
When cutting a workpiece exceeding 88mm (3-15/32") in height in right-angle
cutting or 56mm (2-7/32") in left bevel angle cutting or 31mm (1-7/32") in right
bevel angle cutting, adjust the lower limit position so that the base of the
motor head (see Fig. 10-a) will not come in contact with the workpiece.
To adjust the lower limit position of the saw blade, follow the procedures (1) to (3)
shown in Fig. 10-a.
(1) Loosen the 8mm wing nut so that the 8mm depth adjustment bolt can be turned by
hand.

After adjusting the table insert for right angle cutting, the table insert
will be cut to some extent if it is used for bevel angle cutting.
When bevel cutting operation is required, adjust the table insert for bevel
angle cutting.

When you replace a saw blade with a new one,
adjust the lower limit position so that the saw blade
will not cut the turntable or complete cutting cannot
be done.
To adjust the lower limit position of the saw blade,
follow the procedures (1) to (4) indicated below.
(Fig. 10-b)
Furthermore, when changing the position of a 8mm
depth adjustment bolt that serves as a lower limit
position stopper of the saw blade, it becomes
necessary to shift the position of a 8mm hexagon
socket set screw that is in the screw hole for the
8mm depth adjustment bolt that serves as the
stopper.
(1) Loosen the 8mm wing nut.
(2) Insert your 6mm hexagon bar wrench from
behind of the tool and turn the 8mm hexagon
socket set screw to the left (counterclockwise)
as viewed from behind of the tool.
(3) Turn the 8mm depth adjustment bolt, change
the height where the bolt head and the gear
case contacts, and adjust the lower limit
position of the saw blade. One turn of the 8mm
depth adjustment bolt changes the lower limit
position of the saw blade by about 8mm (5/
16"), and this information can be used as a
rough guide.
