This tool is provided with the kerf boards in the turn
base to minimize tearing on the exit side of a cut. The
kerf boards are factory adjusted so that the saw blade
does not contact the kerf boards. Before use, adjust the
kerf boards as follows:
First, unplug the tool. Loosen all the screws (2 each on left
and right) securing the kerf boards. Re-tighten them only
to the extent that the kerf boards can still be easily moved
by hand. Lower the handle fully and push in the stopper pin
to lock the handle in the lowered position. Adjust the kerf
boards so that the kerf boards just contact the sides of the
blade teeth. Tighten all the screws (do not tighten firmly).
After adjusting the kerf boards, release the stopper pin and
raise the handle. Then tighten all the screws securely.

This tool is factory adjusted to provide the maximum
cutting capacity for a 305 mm (12") saw blade.
When installing a new blade, always check the lower
limit position of the blade and if necessary, adjust it as
follows:
First, unplug the tool. Lower the handle completely.
Use the hex wrench to turn the adjusting bolt until the
periphery of the blade extends slightly below the top
surface of the turn base at the point where the front
face of the guide fence meets the top surface of the turn
base.
