BLADE
DEPTH
See Figure 14.
A(ways keep correct Made depth setting. The correct
blade depth setting for a(! cuts shou(d not exceed 1/4 in.
(6.35 mm) below the materia( being cut. More blade depth
will increase the chance of kickback and cause the cut
to be rough. For more depth of cut accuracy, a sca(e is
(ocated on the upper Made guard.
Follow these directions to adjust the blade depth.
[] Remove battery pack from saw.
WARMNG: Failure to remove battery pack from
the too( cou(d resu(t in accidenta( starting causing
sedous injury.
[] Loosen depth adjustment knob.
[] Determine the desired depth of cut.
[] Locate depth of cut scale on back of upper Made
guard.
[] Ho(d base flat against the workpiece and raise or (ower
saw unti! the indicator mark on bracket a((gns w(th
