This tool is factory adjusted to provide the maximum
cutting capacity for a 190 mm (7-1/2") saw blade.
Remove the battery cartridge before any adjustment is
attempted. When installing a new blade, always check
the lower limit position of the blade and if necessary,
adjust it as follows:
First, remove the battery cartridge. Push the carriage
toward the guide fence fully and lower the handle
completely. Use the socket wrench to turn the adjusting
bolt until the periphery of the blade extends slightly below
the top surface of the turn base at the point where the
front face of the guide fence meets the top surface of the
turn base.
With the battery cartridge removed, rotate the blade by
hand while holding the handle all the way down to be
sure that the blade does not contact any part of the lower
base. Re-adjust slightly, if necessary.
WARNING:
After installing a new blade and with the battery
•
cartridge removed, always be sure that the
blade does not contact any part of the lower
base when the handle is lowered completely. If
a blade makes contact with the base it may cause
kickback and result in serious personal injury.
