ASSEMBLY
USING THE DEPTH CONTROL KNOB
See Figure 12.
When used, the depth control knob limits the downward
travel of the blade when cutting dadoes and other non-
through cuts.
To use the depth control knob:
 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 be-
tween the workpiece and the fence for a consistent depth
of cut in the workpiece. Make the slide cut at the desired
depth. See Figures 41 - 42 and 44 - 45.
 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

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 pres-
sure while at the same time pulling the head lock pin out
and away from the saw housing.
 Release the head lock pin and slowly raise the saw arm.
To lock the saw arm:
 Firmly grasp the "D" handle and apply downward pres-
sure while at the same time pushing the head lock pin in
