Failure to comply with the following warnings may result in serious personal injury.
•
ALWAYS make sure your workpiece is not in contact with
the blade before operating the switch to start the saw. Blade
contact could result in kickback or thrown workpiece.
•
To reduce the risk of accidental starting, ALWAYS make
sure the switch is in the off position before plugging saw into
power source.
•
DO NOT use blades rated less than the speed of this tool.
Failure to heed this warning could result in serious personal
injury.
RAISING AND LOWERING THE
BLADE
For most applications, it is recommended that you raise the blade
1/8 inch (3.2mm) to 1/4 inch (6.4mm) above the top surface of the
workpiece.
Raise or lower the blade with the hand wheel
on the front of the saw. See Figure 37.
1.
Before raising or lowering the blade, be sure to loosen the
lock knob
by turning it counterclockwise.

2.
To raise the saw blade, turn the hand wheel clockwise.
To lower the saw blade, turn the hand wheel counter-
clockwise.
3.
Tighten lock knob to KEEP blade at the desired height.
ONLY a small amount of force is required to lock the blade
raising mechanism securely. Any added force merely puts
unnecessary strain on the locking device.
4.
When done operating the saw, and when performing
maintenance, adjustments or repairs, lower blade below
surface of table (If applicable).
TILTING THE BLADE
The blade can be tilted up to 45° to the left using the Bevel
Handwheel
located on the right side of the saw. See Figure 38.
A
The angle of tilt is measured by the bevel gauge on the front of the
saw. To tilt the saw blade:
1.
Loosen the lock knob
hand wheel clockwise. A pointer on the front of the saw
indicates the angle of tilt in 1/2 degree increments.
2.
To lock the saw blade at your desired angle, tighten the
lock knob by rotating it clockwise. ONLY a small amount
of force is required to lock the blade raising mechanism
securely. Any added force merely puts unnecessary strain
on the locking device.
