FUNCTIONAL
DESCRIPTION
CAUTION:
• Always be sure that the tool is switched off and
unplugged before adjusting or checking function on the
tool.
Adjusting depth of cut
CAUTION:
• After adjusting the depth of cut, always tighten the lever
securely.
Loosen the lever on the depth guide and move the base up
or down. At the desired depth of cut, secure the base by
tightening the lever.
For cleaner, safer cuts, set cut depth so that no more than
one blade tooth projects below workpiece. Using proper cut
depth helps to reduce potential for dangerous KICKBACKS
which can cause personal injury.
Bevel cutting
Loosen the lever on the bevel scale plate on the front of the
base and the clamping screw on the back.
Set for the desired angle (0
° - 45°) by tilting accordingly, then
tighten the lever and the clamping screw securely.
Blade steady device
In general way, use the lock lever by setting it in locked posi-
tion.
To lock the lock lever, push it down and turn it 90
° counter-
clockwise. To release the lock lever, turn it 90
° clockwise.
When you replace a saw blade, release the lock lever.
