TO ADJUST THE BLADE DEPTH
The blade depth should be set so that the outer points of the
blade are higher than the workpiece by approximately 1/8 in.
to 1/4 in. but the lowest points (gullets) are below the top
surface.
See Figure 25.
WARNING:
Unplug the saw and make sure the blade guard assembly
is installed and working properly to avoid serious personal
injury.
Raise the blade by turning the blade adjusting handle
counterclockwise or lower it by turning the handle

Unplug the saw and make sure the blade guard assembly
is installed and working properly to avoid serious personal

Unlock the bevel locking lever.
Angle the blade by turning the bevel handle until the bevel
indicator shows the correct angle.
Lock the bevel locking lever securely while holding the
bevel handle in place.
TO SET THE SCALE TO THE BLADE
The scale is usable from 0-27 in. (0-686 mm) to the right side
of the blade and 0-6 3/4 in. (0-171 mm) on the left side of the
blade. The operator can select any desired dimension within
those ranges. Use the following steps to set the scale to the
blade and scale indicator. Begin with the blade at a zero
angle (straight up).
Loosen the rip fence by raising the locking handle.
Using a framing square, set the rip fence 2 in. from the
blade tip edge.
Loosen the screw on the scale indicator. See Figure 27.
Adjust the front rail until the 2 in. mark is placed at the
scale indicator. Align the rear rail to the front rail.
Tighten the screw and check the dimension and the rip
fence.
WARNING:
Blades coast after turn off. Possible serious injury can
occur if hands come in contact with blade.
