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 clamping screw on the bevel scale plate on
the front of the base. Set for the desired angle (0° - 45°)
by tilting accordingly, then tighten the clamping screw
securely.
