MACHINE PREPARATION and OPERATION
ADJUSTMENT OF THE CUTTING DEPTH
With power to the saw turned "OFF":
1 Release the lock to adjust to the required cutting depth.
(Fig. 11)
2 Make sure that the blade protrudes at the maximum
cutting depth that the saw is capable of in the material
being cut.
3 Tighten to lock into position. Check to ensure that the
lock will not loosen while being used.
NOTE: Metal cutting blades work best while having the maximum
amount of blade engaged in the cutting action. This distributes the
cutting load among the teeth on the blade. This is the opposite of
how a wood cutting blade is used, where minimal blade protrusion
allows the operator to make a cut while minimizing the potential for
the blade to become bound in the cut and produce material tearout.
EXCEPTION: Metal grating is best cut by having the blade protrude
very minimally beyond the depth of the grating. The interrupted cuts
that occur when cutting grating are very hard on the blade and
carbide tips.
BEVEL CUTTING ADJUSTMENTS
1 Loosen bevel handle (Fig. 12)
2 Adjust to the required cutting angle by lining up the bar
on the bevel handle with the degree needed on the scale.
3 Tighten bevel handle.
PARALLEL BLADE GUIDE
blade to enter into and / or through the cut. Be extremely careful when
making these cuts,as the guard will not protect you from injury.
PARALLEL BLADE GUIDE
To set the guide:
1 Loosen the retaining screw. (Fig 13)
2 Slide the guide up snugly against the side of the work piece.
3 Using a measuring tape, check that the distances from the
front and the back of the blade to the edge of the blade
guide are equal. This will ensure that the guide is parallel
to the blade. The guide should be parallel to the blade,
and not to the base of the tool, to avoid damage to both
blade and motor.
4 Retighten the screw.

Adjusting a saw with the power
connected could lead to an injury
if the saw started suddenly.
Never connect the saw to a power

are completed.
Do not use machine for
