When using the saw, always stay alert and exercise
control. Do not remove the saw from workpiece while
the blade is moving.
DEPTH OF CUT ADJUSTMENT
Always keep correct blade depth setting. The correct blade
depth setting for all cuts should not exceed 1/4 inch below
the material to be cut. More blade depth will increase the
chance of kickback and cause the cut to be rough, One
blade tooth below the material to be cut works best for
most efficient cutting action.
TO ADJUST BLADE DEPTH
See Figurel_
• Remove battery pack from saw,
• Loosen depth adjustment knob.
• Hold base flat against the workpiece and raise or lower
saw until the required depth is reached.
• Tighten depth adjustment knob securely.
