WARNING
plate for the operation. Different
blades may require different throat plates. Never
operate the saw without a throat plate in place.
A properly adjusted throat plate is important for a
smooth cut. The front of the throat plate must be
slightly lower or flush with the table top. The back of
the throat plate must be slightly higher than the table
top (0 to 0.027"). Check throat plate each time the
throat plate is changed, and periodically before use.
If the throat plate is not properly adjusted:
1. Remove the battery pack.
2. Remove the riving knife with guard.
3. Lower the blade by turning the height adjusting
wheel counterclockwise.
4. Use the throat plate set screws (2.5 mm) to adjust
the front and back heights.
5. Re-measure and repeat until the throat plate is
properly adjusted.

2. Blade Angle (Bevel) Adjustment
at 0° and 45°
The angle settings of the saw have been set at the
factory and, unless damaged in shipping, should not
require setting during assembly. After extensive use,
they should be rechecked and adjusted if necessary.
1. Remove the battery pack.
2. Set the blade angle to 0° and lock into place.
3. Raise the blade by turning the height adjusting
wheel clockwise.
4. Remove the riving knife.
To check for 0°:
5. Place a combination square
beside the blade on the
right. The edge of the
square and the saw blade
should be parallel. NOTE:
Make sure that the square
contacts the flat part of the
saw blade, not the blade
teeth.
6. If the blade and square are
not parallel:
• Unlock the bevel locking
lever.
• Loosen the 0° adjustment screw.
