Lower

Your mobile base includes a release lever that allows you to adjust how fast the saw lowers. The lever should be

adjusted so the saw gently descends back to the floor when the release lever is touching the release stop. If the saw

descends too fast, descends too slowly, or does not descend at all, adjust the release lever as follows.

1. Loosen the three screws in the release lever with a 3 mm hex key (see Fig. 3). Do not remove the screws.

Once the three screws are loose, the release lever will rotate around the center screw.

2. To decrease the speed at which the saw lowers, rotate the release lever counter-clockwise a small amount

(see Fig. 4). To increase the speed at which the saw lowers, rotate the release lever clockwise a small amount

(see Fig. 5).

3. Once the release lever has been rotated, tighten all three screws and test how fast the saw lowers to the floor.

If necessary, repeat steps 1-3 until the release operates as desired. If you have adjusted the release lever to

the end of its adjustment range and your saw still descends too quickly or too slowly, proceed to steps 4-7.

Otherwise, no additional adjustment is needed and you can skip steps 4-7.

Perform the following steps only if necessary after following steps 1-3.

4. Remove the three screws in the release lever.

5. Slide the release lever off the hexagonal shaft on which it is mounted.
