before making
adjustments or changing accessories.
Such preventive safety measures reduce
the risk of starting the tool accidentally.
▶ Depth Adjustment
Disconnect battery pack from tool.
Loosen the depth adjustment lever
located on the right side of the tool.
Hold the foot down with one hand and
raise or lower saw by the handle.
Tighten lever at the depth setting
desired. Check desired depth (Fig. 4).
Not more than one tooth length of the
blade should extend below the material
to be cut, for minimum splintering (Fig.
5).
▶ 90° Cutting Angle Check
Disconnect battery pack from tool. Set
foot to maximum depth of cut setting.
Loosen bevel adjustment lever, set to 0°
on quadrant, retighten lever and check
for 90° angle between the blade and
bottom plane of foot with a square (Fig.
6). Make adjustments by turning the
small alignment screw from bottom side
of foot, if necessary (Fig. 7).
▶ Bevel Adjustment
Disconnect battery pack from tool. The
foot can be adjusted up to 50° by
loosening the bevel adjustment knob at
the front of the saw. Align to desired
angle on calibrated quadrant. Then
tighten bevel adjustment knob (Fig. 8).
Because of the increased amount of
blade engagement in the work and
decreased stability of the foot, blade
binding may occur. Keep the saw steady
and the foot firmly on the workpiece.
▶ Line Guide
For a straight 90° cut, use left side of
notch in the foot. For 45° and 50° bevel
cuts, use the right side (Fig. 9). The
cutting guide notch will give an
approximate line of cut. Make sample
cuts in scrap lumber to verify actual line
of cut. This will be helpful because of
the number of different blade types and
