Supporting large panels/Securing workpiece (fig. C)
Support large panels to minimize the risk of blade
u
pinching and kickback. Large panels tend to sag under
their own weight as shown in figure C.
Supports must be placed under the panel on both
u
sides, near the line of cut and near the edge of the
panel figure C.
Never hold piece being cut in your hands or across
u
your leg figure D.
Secure the workpiece to a stable platform as shown in
u
figure E. It is important to support the work properly to
minimize body exposure, blade binding, or loss of control.
Cutting Depth Adjustment - (fig. F - G)
The depth of cut should be set according to the
u
thickness of the workpiece.

(Original instructions)
Loosen the depth adjustment knob (6) to unlock the
u
saw shoe (5) as shown in figure F.
Move the saw shoe into the desired position. The
u
corresponding depth of cut can be read from the scale

u
of the blade projects below the workpiece (16) as
shown in figure G.
Tighten the knob to lock the saw shoe in place.

Move the saw shoe (5) into the desired position. The
u
corresponding bevel angle can be read from the scale (9).
Tighten the bevel adjustment knob (15) to lock the
u
saw shoe in place.
Confirm the accuracy of the setting by checking the
u
bevel angle of an actual cut on a scrap piece of material.
Shoe Adjustment For 90° Cuts
The shoe (5) has been set by the factory to assure that
the blade is perpendicular to the shoe at 0° bevel setting.
IF REALIGNMENT IS NEEDED:
Adjust the saw to 0° bevel.
u
Retract blade guard (11).
u
Loosen bevel adjustment knob (15). Place a square
u
against the blade (10) and shoe (5) to adjust the 90° set-
ting.
Loosen jam nut (16) and move the adjustment screw (19)
u
(inset figure H) so that the shoe will stop at the proper
angle. Retighten jam nut against the shoe while holding
adjustment screw in position.
Confirm the accuracy of the setting by checking the
u
squareness of an actual cut on a scrap piece of material.
Attaching and Removing the Blade (fig. I - J)
Retract lower guard and assemble blade (10) and clamp
u
washer (20) as shown in figure I.
Depress the spindle lock (16) while turning the blade
u
bolt (21) with the locking tool (13) until the blade lock
engages and the blade stops rotating.
