Step Five: Depth Stop
The depth stop limits the downward travel of the blade It
allows the blade to go below the work table enough to
maintain full cutting capacities, thereby cutting com-
pletely through the workpiece at the fence Properly
adjusted the depth stop positions the blade 1/4" below
the table.
WARNING: to avoid injury from unexpected start-
ing or electrical shock, do not plug the saw in. The
power cord must remain unplugged whenever you
are work ng on the saw.
This tool Asfactory set to provide maximum cutting capac-
ity for the 8-1/4" saw blade provided. When the diameter
of the blade has been reduced due to sharpening, it may
be necessary to adjust depth stop to provide maximum
cutting capacity. When a new blade is installed_ it is nec-
essary to check the clearance of the blade to the turn
table structure.
1. To adjust the depth stop loosen the two (2) jam nuts on
the end of the depth stop bolt.
2. Loosen the stop knob at the top of the arm
3. The sawblade is lowered by turning the depth stop bolt
counterclockwise and raised by turning the bolt clock-
wise
4. Lower the blade into the slot of the turn table. Check
i
blade clearance and maximum cutting distance (dis-
tance from fence where blade enters) to front of work
table slot. Readjust if necessary.
WARNING: Do not start the miter saw without
checking for interference between the blade and
the turn table structure. Damage could result to the
blade if it strikes the turn table structure during
operation of the saw.
WARNING: Failure to tighten the jam nut could let
the depth stop slip and let the blade strike the saw
table. Broken saw parts could hit you or others.
5 Tighten the large stop knob at the top of arm.
6 Tighten the two (2) nuts on the end of the depth stop
bolt against the depth stop.
Step Six: Rear Foot Adjustment
The rear foot can be adjusted to better stabilize the base.
When the saw is placed on a work place surface, the foot
can be adjusted using the following adjustment.
1. Place the saw on a secure, stationary work surface.
2. Using the Phillips end of combination wrench, loosen
the adjustment screw
3. Pull foot out until it makes contact with the work su[-
face
NOTE: Foot is mounted at a downward slanting angle
so it will self adjust as it is pulled out
4. Tighten adjustment screw.
