ASSEMBLY
USING THE DEPTH GUIDE
See Figure 12.
When used, the depth guide limits the downward travel of
the blade when cutting dadoes and other non-through cuts.
To use the depth guide:
 Unplug the saw.
 Rotate the depth stop outward.
 With the end of the depth control knob touching the depth
stop, adjust the depth control knob by turning the knob
until the desired depth of cut is attained.
 A wooden spacer must be placed between the workpiece
and the fence to create a distance of 2-1/2 inches
between the workpiece and the fence for a consistent
depth of cut in the workpiece. Use the work clamp to
clamp the spacer and another suitable clamp to clamp
the workpiece. Make the slide cut at the desired depth.
See Figures 41 and 42.
 Rotate the depth stop inward for normal through cuts.
NOTE: The depth stop must be pushed in before locking/
unlocking the saw arm.
LOCKING / UNLOCKING THE SAW ARM
See Figure 12.
When locking and unlocking the saw arm, it is not necessary
to loosen the depth control knob.
To unlock and raise the saw arm:
 Firmly grasp the "D" handle and apply downward pressure
while at the same time pulling the head lock pin out and
away from the saw housing.
 Release the lock pin and slowly raise the saw arm.
To lock the saw arm:
 Firmly grasp the "D" handle and apply downward pressure
while at the same time pushing the head lock pin in and
toward the saw housing.
 Release the lock pin allowing it to lock the saw into place.
BLADE WRENCH
See Figure 13.
A blade wrench is included with this saw. One end of the
wrench is a Phillips screwdriver and the other end is a hex
key. Use the hex key end when installing or removing blade
and the Phillips end when removing or loosening screws. A
storage area for the blade wrench is located on the front of
the carrying handle.
