Maintaining maximum cutting capacity
This tool is factory adjusted to provide the max. cutting capacity for a 190 mm (7-1/2")
saw blade. When using a saw blade other than 190 m m (7-1/2") saw blade, adjust the
lower limit position of the blade 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.

CAUTION:
After installing a new blade, always be sure that the blade does not contact any part of

easily adjusted with the stopper arm. To
adjust it, move the stopper arm in the
direction of the arrow as shown in the
