Cutting Depth Adjustment (Fig. F)
1. Hold the saw firmly and loosen (counterclockwise) the
depth adjustment knob
desired depth of cut.
2. Make sure the depth adjustment knob has been
retightened (clockwise) before operating saw.
For the most efficient cutting action, set the depth
adjustment so that one-half tooth of the blade will project
below the material to be cut. This distance is from the tip of
the tooth to the bottom of the gullet in front of it. This keeps
blade friction at a minimum, removes sawdust from the cut,
results in cooler, faster sawing and reduces the chance of
kickback. A method for checking for correct cutting depth
is shown in Figure F. Lay a piece of the material you plan to
cut along the side of the blade, as shown, and observe how
much tooth projects beyond the material.
