DEPTH ADJUSTMENT (FIG. 4A & 4B)
Remove the battery pack from the circular saw.
a. Loosen the depth-adjustment lever by pushing
it up toward the motor housing.
b. Hold the foot down with one hand and use the
main handle to raise or lower the saw.
c. Align the bottom contour of housing near the
depth-adjustment lever with the desired depth-
cut mark on the calibrated depth bracket.
(Fig. 4a).
Check the set depth. Not more than one tooth
length of the blade should extend below the
material to be cut to minimize splintering
(Fig. 4b).
Tighten the depth-adjustment lever by pressing
it down.
NOTICE: The four most common cutting depths
are marked on the calibrated depth bracket. The
setting permit the saw to cut through material
with thickness of 1/4", 1/2", 3/4", as well as
2×PLY, respectively, allowing one tooth length of
blade to extend below the material.
CHECK THE 90° CUTTING ANGLE (FIG. 5)
Remove the battery pack from the circular saw.
a. Set the foot to the maximum depth-of-cut
setting. Loosen the bevel-adjustment lever,
set the bevel indicator to 0° on the quadrant,
retighten the lever, and use a square to check
for a 90° angle between the blade and bottom
plane of the foot.
b. Use a 3/32 hex key (not included) to make
adjustments, if necessary, by turning the small
alignment screw from the bottom side of the
foot (Fig. 5).
