90° Cutting Angle Check
A.
Disconnect battery pack 4 from tool.
B.
Set foot 10 to maximum depth of cut
setting.
C.
Loosen bevel adjustment lever 19, set to
0° on bevel scale 18, retighten lever 19
(Fig. 5).
D.
Check for 90° angle between the blade
13 and bottom plane of foot 10 with a
square (Fig. 6). If necessary, make
adjustments by turning the small
alignment screw from bottom side of
foot 10 with a 2.5 mm allen wrench [not
included] (Fig. 6).
Bevel Adjustment
A.
Disconnect battery pack from tool.
B.
Loosen the bevel adjustment lever 19.
C.
Align to desired angle on the bevel scale
18. The foot can be adjusted up to 50°.
D.
Tighten lever 19 (Fig. 5).
Because of the increased amount of blade
engagement in the work and decreased
stability of the foot, blade binding may
occur. Keep the saw steady and the foot
firmly on the workpiece.
Cutting Line Guide Notches
The marked notches and at the front of the
footplate indicate the approximate line of
the cut (Fig. 7).
•
For a non-beveled cut, use 0° notch.
•
For 45° bevel cuts, use 45° notch.
•
To ensure minimum splintering on the
good side of the material to be cut, face
the good side down.
•
Make sample cuts in scrap lumber to
verify actual line of cut. This will be
helpful because of the variety of blade
types and thicknesses that are available.
•
Use LEFT side of notch when the part of
the workpiece that is to the right of the
blade is the scrap piece (Fig. 7a).
•
Use RIGHT side of notch when the part
of the workpiece that is to the left of the
blade is the scrap piece (Fig. 7b).
