Adjusting The Miter Angle - Makita M2300 Manuel D'instruction

Kerf board
This tool is provided with the kerf board in the turn base
to minimize tearing on the exit side of a cut. If the kerf
groove has not yet been cut in the kerf board by the
factory, you should cut the groove before actually using
the tool to cut a workpiece. Switch on the tool and lower
the blade gently to cut a groove in the kerf board.

Maintaining maximum cutting
capacity
This tool is factory adjusted to provide the maximum
cutting capacity for a 255 mm (10") saw blade.
When installing a new blade, always check the lower limit
position of the blade and if necessary, adjust it as follows:
First, unplug the tool. Lower the handle completely. Use
the wrench to turn the adjusting bolt until the periphery
of the blade extends slightly below the top surface of
the turn base at the point where the front face of the
guide fence meets the top surface of the turn base.

With the tool unplugged, rotate the blade by hand while
holding the handle all the way down to be sure that
the blade does not contact any part of the lower base.
Re-adjust slightly, if necessary.
