First, unplug the tool. Lower the stopper lever to position the
saw blade as shown in the figure. 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 tool unplugged, 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.
After adjustment, always return the stopper lever to the
original position by turning it counterclockwise.
WARNING:
After installing a new blade and with the tool
•
unplugged, 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.
