WARNING:
with the tool unplugged, always be sure that the
blade does not contact any part of the lower base

makes contact with the base it may cause kickback
and result in serious personal injury.

The lower limit position of the blade can be easily
adjusted with the stopper arm. To adjust it, turn the
