ADJUSTING FENCE SQUARENESS (FIG. S)
WARNING
If the saw has not been used recently,
recheck blade squareness to the fence and readjust
if needed.
1. Loosen the three fence locking bolts (1).
2. Lower the cutting arm
and lock in position.

5. After fence has been
aligned, using a scrap
piece of wood, make a cut
at 90° then check squareness on
the piece. Readjust if necessary.
SETTING CUTTING DEPTH (FIG. T)
The depth of cut can be preset for even and repetitive shallow cuts.
1. Adjust the cutting head down (See CUTTING HEAD
section) until the teeth of the blade are at the desired
depth.
2. While holding the upper arm in that position, turn the stop
knob (1) until it touches
the stop plate (2).
3. Recheck the blade depth by moving
the cutting head front to back
through the full
motion of a
typical cut
along the
control arm.

ADJUSTING CUTTING DEPTH (FIG. T)
The maximum depth travel of the cutting head was set at the
factory. Check to see that the blade does not extend more
than 6.4 mm below the table insert, and does not touch the
control arm throat or any part of the base or table. If the maxi-
mum depth needs readjusting:
1. Loosen the stop knob (1) while moving the cutting head
down until the blade extends just 6.4 mm below the table
insert.
2. Adjust the stop knob (1) to touch the stop plate (2).
3. Recheck the blade depth by moving the cutting head
front to back through the full motion of a cut along
