MAKING DEPTH-OF-CUT ADJUSTMENTS
Always use the correct blade-depth setting. The correct blade-depth setting for
all cuts should not be more than 1/4-inch deeper than the material being cut.
Increased cutting depth will increase the chance of kickback and cause the
cut to be rough. Your saw is equipped with a depth-of-cut scale that provides
increased depth-of-cut accuracy. The depth-of-cut scale is located on the right
side of the bracket (Fig 8).
TO SET THE BLADE DEPTH
,_ WARNING: Always
unplug the saw before making
any adjustments. Failure to
unplug the saw could result in
accidental starting, which can
cause serious personal injury.
1. Unplug the saw.
2. Raise the depth-of-cut
adjustment lever to loosen
the base (Fig. 8).
3. Determine the desired
depth of cut (see page
19).
