Adjusting Depth (Figs. 3 & 4)
1.
Unplug tool before adjusting blade depth.
2.
To adjust the depth of the cut, hold the saw by the handle and
loosen the depth adjusting lever by pulling it up, away from the shoe
(Fig. 3).
Fig. 3
3.
Raise or lower the shoe to the desired position. For the proper depth
setting, the blade should extend no more than 1/4" below the material
being cut (Fig. 4).
4.
Push the depth adjusting lever down to secure the shoe position.
Emptying the Chip Container
Chips and other debris from the workpiece are collected inside the chip con-
tainer, which needs to be emptied to ensure proper functioning of the tool.
1.
Unplug tool.
2.
Remove the chip container (see "Removing and Installing Chip Con-
tainer") and empty. Use a brush to ensure all chips and debris have
been removed.
3.
Remove all chips and debris from upper guard, blade, and housing.
4.
Replace the chip container (see "Removing and Installing Chip Con-
tainer").

OPERATION
Causes and Operator Prevention of KICKBACK:
KICKBACK is a sudden reaction to a pinched, bound or misaligned saw
blade, causing an uncontrolled saw to lift up and out of the workpiece
toward the operator.
When the blade is pinched or bound tightly by the kerf, or cutting slot, closing
down, the blade stalls and the motor reaction drives the unit rapidly back
toward the operator.
If the blade becomes twisted or misaligned in the cut, the teeth at the back
edge of the blade can dig into the top surface of the wood causing the blade
to climb out of the kerf and jump back toward operator.
KICKBACK is the result of tool misuse and/or incorrect operating proce-
dures or conditions and can be avoided by taking proper precautions as
given below:
1.
Maintain a fi rm grip with both hands on the saw and position your
body and arm to allow you to resist KICKBACK forces. KICKBACK
forces can be controlled by the operator, if proper precautions are
taken.
2.
When blade is binding, or when interrupting a cut for any reason,
release the trigger and hold the saw motionless in the material
until the blade comes to a complete stop. Never attempt to remove
the saw from the work or pull the saw backward while the blade is
in motion or KICKBACK may occur. Investigate and take corrective
actions to eliminate the cause of blade binding.
3.
When restarting a saw in the workpiece, center the saw blade in
the kerf, or cut, and check that saw teeth are not engaged into the
material. If saw blade is binding, it may walk up or KICKBACK from
the workpiece as the saw is restarted.
4.
Support large panels to minimize the risk of blade pinching and
KICKBACK. Large panels tend to sag under their own weight. Supports
must be placed under the panel on both sides, near the line of cut and
near the edge of the panel.
5.
Do not use dull or damaged blades. Unsharpened or improperly set
blades produce narrow kerf causing excessive friction, blade binding
and KICKBACK.
6.
Depth adjusting lever must be tight and secure before making
cut. If blade adjustment shifts while cutting, it may cause binding and
KICKBACK.
7.
Use extra caution when making a "Pocket Cut" into existing walls
or other blind areas. The protruding blade may cut objects that can
cause KICKBACK.
8.
Set the depth of cut for no more than 1/4" greater than the thick-
ness of the stock. The less blade exposed, the less chance of binding
and KICKBACK. Before cutting, be sure depth and bevel adjustments
are tight.
9.
Stay alert. Any distraction can cause twisting or binding. Repetitive
cuts may lull the user into careless movements.
