INTENDED USE

This circular saw is designed for professional wood cutting applications.
WARNING:
DO NOT use water feed attachments with this saw.
WARNING:
DO NOT use abrasive wheels or blades.
WARNING:
DO NOT use under wet conditions or in presence of flammable liquids
or gases.
ASSEMBLY/ SET-UP
WARNING:
Always unplug saw from power supply before any of the
following operations.
WARNING:
Never modify the power tool or any part of it. Damage or personal
injury could result.
ADJUSTING THE DEPTH OF CUT
(FIGURE F &G)
The depth of cut should be set according to
the thickness of the workpiece.
• Loosen the lever (11) to unlock the saw
shoe (figure F).
• Move the saw shoe (5) into the desired
position. The corresponding depth of cut
can be read from the scale (12).
• Tighten the lever to lock the saw shoe in
place.
• Set depth adjustment of saw such that one
half of a tooth of the blade projects below
the workpiece as shown in figure G.
Setting the saw at the proper cutting depth
keeps blade friction to a minimum, removes
sawdust from between the blade teeth,
results in cooler, faster sawing and reduces
the chance of kickback.
ADJUSTING THE BEVEL ANGLE
(FIGURE H)
The FME305 can be set to bevel angles
between 0° and 55°.
• Loosen the bevel adjustment lever (10)
to unlock the saw shoe (5).
• Move the saw into the desired position.
The corresponding bevel angle can be
read from the scale (12).
• Tighten the locking lever to lock the saw
in place.
SHOE ADJUSTMENT
CAUTION:
ALWAYS TURN OFF AND DISCONNECT TOOL BEFORE CHANGING
ACCESSORIES OR MAKING ANY ADJUSTMENTS.
Your shoe has been factory set to assure that the blade is perpendicular to the shoe. If
after extended use, you need to re-align the blade follow the directions below:

ADJUSTING FOR 90 DEGREE CUTS
1. Return the saw to 0 degrees bevel.
2. Place the saw on its side, and retract the lower
guard.
3. Loosen the bevel adjustment lever (10). Place
a square against the blade and the shoe as shown
in figure I1.
4. Using a hex wrench, turn the set screw on the
underside of the shoe shown in figure I2 until the
blade and the shoe are both in flush contact with
the square. Retighten the bevel adjustment lever.
MAKING ADJUSTMENTS TO THE DEPTH
AND BEVEL LEVERS - (FIGURE J)
It may be desirable to adjust the depth adjustment lever or the bevel adjustment lever.
They may loosen in time and hit the shoe before tightening.
To tighten the levers, follow the steps
below:
• Remove retaining ring (shown in figure J)
and thin flat washer. Retain for
reassembly.
• Remove the lever and rotate the lever one
position counter clockwise and slide lever
into feature.
• Reinstall flat washer and lock ring with the
concave side against the lever.
KERF INDICATOR (FIGURE K)
The front of the saw shoe has a kerf indicator for vertical and bevel cutting. This indicator
enables you to guide the saw along cutting
lines penciled on the material being cut. The
indicator lines up with the left (inner) side of
the saw blade, which makes the slot or "kerf"
cut by the moving blade fall to the right of the
indicator.
Additionally, the FME305 has 0 and 45
degree visual indicators - the corresponding
left and right sides of the window in the rip
fence slot (see item 13 in Fig. K), and also labeled 0 and 45 degree indicators just in
front of the blade kerf (see item 14 in Fig. K).
Note that the upper guard has been removed from Fig. K for clarity.
