OPERATION
TO CHANGE BLADE DEPTH
See Figure 36.
The blade depth should be set so that the outer points of the
saw blade are higher than the workpiece by approximately
1/8 in. to 1/4 in. but the lowest points (gullets) are below
the top surface.
Unlock the blade height lock knob.
Raise the saw blade by turning the height adjusting knob
clockwise or lower it by turning the knob counterclockwise.
Once the desired saw blade height is achieved, lock the
blade height lock knob by turning it clockwise.
TO CHANGE BLADE ANGLE
See Figure 37.
NOTE: A 90° cut has a 0° bevel and a 45° cut has a 45° bevel.
Unplug the saw.
Unlock bevel locking lever by pulling the lever all the way
to the right.
Adjust the bevel angle, turning the handwheel
counterclockwise increases the angle of the blade, bringing
it closer to 45°. Turning it clockwise decreases the angle,
bringing the blade closer to 90°.
NOTE: When the bevel adjusting handwheel is pushed
back towards the saw housing and released, the bevel
angle can be quickly changed by pushing the handwheel
left or right.
Lock bevel locking lever by pushing lever to the left.
TO ADJUST THE BEVEL INDICATOR
See Figure 38.
If the bevel indicator is not at zero when the saw blade is at
90°, adjust the indicator by loosening the screws and setting
at 0° on the bevel scale. Retighten the screws.
