WARNING
safety measures reduce the risk of starting the tool accidentally.
Depth-of–Cut Adjustment (Fig . 4a & 4b)
Your tool is equipped with a depth-of-cut adjustment lever, located beside the upper guard.
To set the depth of cut:
a. Remove the battery packs from the circular saw.
b. Loosen the depth-adjustment lever by pushing it up (Fig. 4a).
c. Hold the foot of the saw flat against the edge of the workpiece and use the main handle to
raise or lower the saw. Align the bottom contour of depth-adjustment lever with the desired
depth-of-cut mark on the calibrated depth bracket and tighten the lever (Fig. 4a).
NOTICE: Check the desired depth. Not more than one tooth length of the blade should
extend below the material to be cut to minimize splintering (Fig. 4b).
NOTICE: The four most common cutting depths are marked on the calibrated depth bracket.
These settings help the operator to quickly set the saw to cut through the material with
thickness of 1/4", 1/2", 3/4" plywood,1x, 2x, and 3x lumber respectively, while allowing one
tooth length of the blade to extend below the material.

90° Cutting Angle Check (Fig . 5)
a. Remove the battery packs from the circular
saw. Set the foot to the maximum depth of
cut setting.
b. Loosen the bevel-adjustment lever and
set the bevel indicator to 0° on quadrant.
Retighten the lever, and check for 90° angle
between the blade and bottom plane of foot
with a square.
c. Use a 3/32" allen wrench (not included) to
make adjustments, if necessary, by turning
the small alignment screw from the bottom
side of the foot (Fig. 5).
Detach the battery packs from the tool before performing any
assembly, adjustments, or changing accessories. Such preventive
