This tool is provided with the kerf boards in the turn
base to minimize tearing on the exit side of a cut. The
kerf boards are factory adjusted so that the saw blade
does not contact the kerf boards. Before use, adjust the
kerf boards as follows:
First, remove the battery cartridge. Loosen all the
screws (2 each on left and right) securing the kerf
boards. Re-tighten them only to the extent that the kerf
boards can still be easily moved by hand. Lower the
handle fully and push in the stopper pin to lock the han-
dle in the lowered position. Loosen two clamp screws
which secure the slide poles. Pull the carriage toward
you fully. Adjust the kerf boards so that the kerf boards
just contact the sides of the blade teeth. Tighten the
front screws (do not tighten firmly). Push the carriage
toward the guide fence fully and adjust the kerf boards
so that the kerf boards just contact the sides of blade
teeth. Tighten the rear screws (do not tighten firmly).
After adjusting the kerf boards, release the stopper
pin and raise the handle. Then tighten all the screws
securely.
NOTICE:
• After setting the bevel angle ensure that the
kerf boards are adjusted properly. Correct
adjustment of the kerf boards will help provide
proper support of the workpiece minimizing work-
piece tear out.

This tool is factory adjusted to provide the maximum
cutting capacity for a 190 mm (7-1/2") saw blade.
Remove the battery cartridge before any adjustment is
attempted. When installing a new blade, always check
the lower limit position of the blade and if necessary,
adjust it as follows:
First, remove the battery cartridge. Push the carriage
toward the guide fence fully and lower the handle com-
pletely. Use the hex 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 battery cartridge removed, 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.
WARNING:

Stopper arm
► 1 . Adjusting screw 2. Stopper arm
The lower limit position of the blade can be easily
adjusted with the stopper arm. To adjust it, move the
stopper arm in the direction of the arrow as shown in the
figure. Adjust the adjusting screw so that the blade stops
at the desired position when lowering the handle fully.

After installing a new blade and with the
battery cartridge removed, always be sure
that the blade does not contact any part of
the lower base when the handle is lowered
completely. If a blade makes contact with the
base it may cause kickback and result in serious
personal injury.
