FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION

CAUTION:
Always be sure that the tool is switched off and
•
unplugged before adjusting or checking function on
the tool.
Adjusting depth of cut

007656
CAUTION:
After adjusting the depth of cut, always tighten the
•
clamping screw securely.
Loosen the clamping screw on the depth guide and move the
blade lower limit stopper to the desired depth on the scale plate.
At the desired depth of cut, tighten the clamping screw firmly.
For cleaner, safer cuts, set cut depth so that no more
than one blade tooth projects below workpiece. Using
proper cut depth helps to reduce potential for dangerous
KICKBACKS which can cause personal injury.
NOTE:
Setting the blade lower limit stopper to the desired
•
depth on the scale plate allows rough depth of cut.
For accurate depth of cut, measure the actual
protrusion of saw blade below the tool base.
