For the most efficient cutting action, set the depth adjustment so that
one-half tooth of the blade will project below the material to be cut.
This distance is from the tip of the tooth to the bottom of the gullet in
front of it. This keeps blade friction at a minimum, removes sawdust
from the cut, results in cooler, faster sawing and reduces the chance
of kickback. A method for checking for correct cutting depth is shown
in Figure 7. Lay a piece of the material you plan to cut along the side
of the blade, as shown, and observe how much tooth projects beyond
the material.
Bevel Angle Adjustment (Fig. 7)
The full range of the bevel adjustment is from 0° to 50°. The quadrant
is graduated in increments of 1°. On the front of the saw is a bevel
angle adjustment mechanism consisting of a calibrated quadrant and
a bevel adjustment knob (J).
TO SET THE SAW FOR A BEVEL CUT
1. Loosen (counterclockwise) the bevel adjustment knob (J) and tilt
shoe to the desired angle by aligning the pointer with the desired
angle mark.
2. Retighten knob firmly (clockwise).
Shoe Adjustment for 90°Cuts (Fig. 8)
IF ADDITIONAL ADJUSTMENT IS NEEDED:
1. Adjust the saw to 0° bevel.
2. Retract the lower blade guard. Place the
saw on blade side.
3. Loosen bevel adjustment knob. Place a
square against the blade and shoe to adjust
the 90° setting.
4. Turn the calibration screw (Q) so that the
shoe will stop at the proper angle.
5. Confirm the accuracy of the setting by checking the squareness
of an actual cut on a scrap piece of material.
Kerf Indicator (Fig. 9)
The front of the saw shoe has a kerf indicator (I)
for vertical and bevel cutting. This indicator
enables you to guide the saw along cutting
lines penciled on the material being cut. The
kerf indicator lines up with the left (outer) side
of the saw blade, which makes the slot or
"kerf" cut by the moving blade fall to the right
of the indicator. Guide along the penciled
cutting line so that the kerf falls into the waste
or surplus material.
Workpiece Support (Fig. 10–12)
WARNING: It is important to support the work properly and to hold
the saw firmly to prevent loss of control which could cause personal
injury. Figure 10 illustrates proper hand support of the saw. Maintain a
firm grip with both hands on the saw and position your body and arm
to allow you to resist kickback if it occurs. ALWAYS TURN OFF TOOL
AND REMOVE BATTERY BEFORE MAKING ANY ADJUSTMENTS!

FIG. 8
Figure 10 shows proper sawing position. Note that hands are kept
Q
away from cutting area. To avoid kickback, DO support board or
panel NEAR the cut (Fig. 11). DON'T support board or panel away from
the cut (Fig. 12).
