Adjusting depth of cut

CAUTION:
• After adjusting the depth of cut, always tighten
the lever securely.
Loosen the lever on the side of the rear handle and
move the base up or down. At the desired depth of cut,
secure the base by tightening the lever.
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 danger-
ous kickback which can cause personal injury.
