LINE GUIDE (FIG. 7)
For a 0° cut, use the large notch in the foot
for guidance . For 45° bevel cuts, use the
small notch (Fig. 7). The cutting-guide notch
will indicate an approximate line of cut. Make
sample cuts in scrap lumber to verify the
actual line of cut. This will be helpful because
of the number of different blade types and
thicknesses available. To ensure minimum
splintering on the good side of the material
to be cut, face the good side down. For bevel
adjustments greater than 45°, push the stop
spring in the direction of the arrow.
MAXIMUM DEPTH-OF-CUT STABILITY
ADJUSTMENT
NOTICE: This feature is set during
assembly. Adjustment may be required
due to wear and tear on the tool.
Remove the battery pack from the circular saw
and set the saw to 0° bevel. Place the foot plate
on a level surface, with the rear of foot over
hanging the work the bench by about 2 inches.
Loosen the depth-adjustment lever. Set the saw
to maximum depth of cut. If the adjustment set
screw is in contact with the motor housing prior
to achieving the maximum depth of cut, use a
1/8" Allen wrench to lower the set screw until
maximum depth of cut is reached. If the set
screw is not in contact with the motor housing
when the maximum depth of cut is reached, use
a 1/8" Allen wrench to raise the set screw until it
just engages the motor housing (Fig. 8a).
WRENCH USAGE (FIG. 8B AND FIG. 9)
The wrench provided has several functions,
in addition to loosening/tightening the blade
bolt (Fig. 8b):
1. Loosening/tightening the blade bolt (1/2"
wrench).
2. Loosening/tightening the combo oil plug/
lock-button assembly (1/2" wrench).
3. Loosening/tightening bevel/depth levers
when levers are over tightened or
additional tightening is needed (9/16"
wrench).
4. Blade diamond arbor knock-out (wedge
feature).
