With the tool unplugged, rotate the blade by hand while
holding the handle all the way down to be sure that
the blade does not contact any part of the lower base.
Re-adjust slightly, if necessary.
After adjustment, always return the stopper lever to the
original position.
WARNING:
with the tool unplugged, always be sure that the
blade does not contact any part of the lower base
when the handle is lowered completely. If a blade
makes contact with the base it may cause kickback
and result in serious personal injury.
Stopper arm
The lower limit position of the blade can be easily
adjusted with the stopper arm. To adjust it, turn the
stopper arm in the direction of the arrow as shown in the
figure. Turn the adjusting screw so that the blade stops
at the desired position when lowering the handle fully.
