3. Adjusting the guide piece
On the circular saw, it is possible to make fine
adjustment of the fixing position of the guide piece,
where the saw blade and the premarked line are
to be aligned.
When the saw is shipped from the factory, the
linear portion of a front scale on the guide piece
is aligned with the central position of the saw blade.
(Fig. 6, 7)
Loosen the fixed screw on the guide piece, should
the fixing position be wrong, and make necessary
adjustment of the position. (Fig. 7)
NOTE:
For cutting operation at the inclination of 45 degrees,
make adjustment so that the notch on the guide
piece and the premarked line become aligned.
