CUTTING DEPTH ADJUSTMENT

DISCONNECT PLUG FROM POWER SUPPLY BEFORE MAKING THIS OR ANY
OTHER ADJUSTMENT.

For the most efficient cutting action, set the Depth Adjustment so that one tooth

of the blade will project below the material to be cut. This distance is from the
tip of the tooth to the bottom of the gullet in front of it. This keeps blade friction
at a minimum, removes sawdust from the cut, and results in cooler, faster sawing.

NOTE; When using Carbide-Tipped Blades, make an exception to the above rule

and allow only one-half of a tooth to project below the material being cut.

To adjust the cutting depth:

1. BE SURE THE SAW IS DISCONNECTED FROM THE POWER SUPPLY!

Place the saw in the position shown in Figure 3 and loosen depth adjustment

knob ‘‘A".

Place a scrap piece of the material to be cut along the side of the blade as

shown. Raise or lower the shoe until the blade projects from the shoe the
desired distance. Retighten knob.

SWITCH

Pull the trigger switch to turn the motor “ON". Releasing the trigger instantly

turns the motor "OFF”. For safer operation, this tool has no provision to lock
the switch in the “ON” position.
