serious personal injury, turn off the saw and unplug the
saw from the power source before making any adjust-

To prevent workpiece from lifting, the drop foot should be
adjusted so it just rests on the top of the workpiece. The drop

Always retighten the drop foot lock knob after each adjust-
ment has been made.
■ Loosen the drop foot lock knob.
■ Lower or raise the drop foot to the desired position.
■ Retighten the drop foot lock knob.
The tall, front part of the drop foot acts as a blade guard to
prevent accidental contact with the blade.

sawdust blower/light to the desired position.
