SAW OPERATIONS, CON’T

7.

The arrow in

Fig.8

is pointing to a

screw that operates as a positive 90°

stop. It is secured with a jam nut.

Loosen the nut and turn the screw so

that it contacts the base.

Do Not over

tighten.

Over tightening this screw

will cause the saw base to warp and

will upset the angle of the blade.

8.

Loosen the screw on the index point-

er just to the left of the angle degree

scale. Rotate the pointer until it is

lined up with the zero degree mark.

Retighten the screw.

Setting Blade Angle:

1.

Loosen the angle locking knob.

2.

Rotate the saw base until the index

pointer is at the desired angle and

tighten knob.

3.

For best results always check the

blade angle with a protractor or angle

guide before making a cut. Make a

test cut into scrap lumber and check

the angle of the cut. Readjust as nec-

essary.

Setting the Edge Guide:

1.

Remove battery.

2.

Loosen the retaining screw on the

right hand side of the leading edge of

the saw base.

3.

Insert the edge guide in the slot just

below the retaining screw.

4.

Slide the edge guide until it is insert-

ed through a slot provided on the left

hand side of the saw base.

5.

Determine the width of cut needed

for your project and slide the edge

guide using the scale provided.

6.

Tighten the retaining screw. Always

double check the distance between

the tip of the blade to the inside edge

of the edge guide. Blade thicknesses

can vary, causing the scale on the

edge guide to read inaccurately.

Guide Notch and Scale:

The trim saw is provided with a Guide
Notch and Scale. These are located on the
leading edge of the saw base.

The notch is used for following a line
through a cut and the scale allows an off-
set reference from a cut.

It should be noted

that these are provided

for one blade thickness. Blades without
carbide teeth or with carbide teeth that are
thinner or thicker may render the guide
notch and scale inaccurate.
