ADJUSTING DEPTH ADJUSTMENT LEVER
It may be desirable to adjust the Depth Adjustment. (It will sometimes
hit the shoe before tightening or loosening completely.)
To adjust lever, follow the steps below.
1. Disconnect plug from power supply.
2. Using a small screwdriver, pry the lock ring off, as shown in Figure
13.
3. Remove the lever and rotate it in the desired direction about 1/8
revolution. (More or less as necessary.)
4. Reinstall the lever and insert the lock ring with concave side
against lever to hold it in place. (Figure 14)

Operation

SWITCH
Pull the trigger switch to turn the motor "ON". Releasing the trigger
turns the motor "OFF". This tool has no provision to lock the switch
in the "ON" position, and should never be locked "ON" in any way.

WORKPIECE SUPPORT

Figure 15 shows proper sawing position. Note that hands are kept
away from cutting area, and power cord is positioned clear of the
cutting area so that it will not get caught or hung up on the work.
To avoid kickback, DO support board or panel NEAR the cut, (Figure
16). DON'T support board or panel away from the cut (Figure 17).
When operating the saw, keep the cord away from the cutting area
and prevent it from becoming hung up on the work piece. Note that
a special Cord Keeper has been provided on the tool's handle. (See
Fig. 10 on page 6.) Press the cord firmly into the cord keeper to keep
it out of the way but in sight so you know where it is at all times.
WARNING: It is important to support the work properly and to hold
the saw firmly to prevent loss of control which could cause personal
injury; Figure 18 illustrates typical hand support of the saw.
