FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
CAUTION:
Always be sure that the tool is switched off and
•
unplugged before adjusting or checking function on
the tool.
Adjusting depth of cut

007326
CAUTION:
After adjusting the depth of cut, always tighten the
•
lever securely.
Loosen the lever on the depth guide and move the base
up or down. At the desired depth of cut, secure the base
by tightening the lever.
For cleaner, safer cuts, set cut depth so that no more
than one blade tooth projects below workpiece. Using
proper cut depth helps to reduce potential for dangerous
KICKBACKS which can cause personal injury.

Positive stopper
Turn the positive stopper so that the arrow on it points
one of three positions (22.5°,45°,50°). Then, tilt the tool
base until it stops and secure the base with the lever. At
this time, the same angle as the one that the arrow
points is obtained.
Setting bevel angle
Loosen the lever and tentatively set the tool base at the
0°bevel angle, then tighten the lever securely.
Turn the positive stopper so that the arrow on it points
one of three positions (22.5°,45°,50°) that is equal to or
greater than the desired bevel angle.
Loosen the lever again and then tilt and secure the tool
base at the desired angle securely.

NOTE:
When changing the positive stopper's position,
•
loosening the lever and tilting the bevel angle to
less than the desired stopper position number
allows to change it.
When the arrow on the positive stopper points 22.5,
•
the bevel angle can be adjusted 0 - 22.5°;when the
arrow points 45, it can be adjusted 0 - 45°; when
the arrow points 50, it can be adjusted 0 - 50°.
