ADJUSTING THE DEPTH OF CUT (Fig. 7A, 7B, 8, 9)
To adjust the depth of cut, loosen the depth adjustment
knob(12). (See Fig. 7A)
Slide the base plate(13) to the desired depth using the
depth adjustment lug(21) and retighten the knob securely.
(See Fig. 7B)
The depth of cut(14) can be determined by the depth
scale(15) or by measuring the distance by which the
blade protrudes from the base plate. (See Fig. 8&9)
ADJUSTING THE CUTTING ANGLE
The cutting angle may be set to any position between
o
o
0
and 45
. (See Fig. 10A)
Loosen the bevel adjustment knob(16) at the front of
the tool and move the base plate to the desired angle
using the bevel scale(17). (See Fig. 10B)
Once the angle has been set, be sure to retighten the
bevel adjustment knob firmly.

OPERATION
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS (Fig. 12)
DANGER
Keep hands away from the cutting area when operating
the tool. Keep the cord away from the cutting area
and position it so that it will not get caught on the
workpiece during the cutting operation
When cutting, use steady and even pressure (DO NOT
FORCE) in order to obtain a uniform cut. Cut at a speed
suited to the workpiece. (Cut slowly if the workpiece is
hard.) Inspect the saw blade frequently and replace or
sharpen it if dull, to avoid overloading the motor.
CUTTING POSITION (Fig. 13A&13B)
When cutting a workpiece at 0
base plate line guide(20) and move the saw along the
pencilled line you have drawn. When cutting at 45
use point "B". This line guide shows an approximate
line of cut. Make a sample cut in scrap timber to determine
the actual line of cut.
CAUTION
When ripping, the rip fence should only touch the
workpiece slightly. Do not force.
