ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
DEPTH OF CUT ADJUSTMENTS
Always keep the correct blade-depth setting. The correct blade-depth setting for all cuts should not exceed 1/4
in. below the material to be cut. Excess blade depth will increase the chance of kickback and cause the cut to
be rough. One blade tooth below the material to be cut works is best for efficient cutting action.
TO ADJUST BLADE DEPTH (fig 7)
1. Unplug the circular saw from the power supply.
2. Loosen the depth-of-cut adjustment lever by lifting it
up.
3. Determine the desired depth of cut.
4. Hold the base of the saw flat against the edge of the
workpiece and then raise or lower the saw until the
indicator on the bracket aligns with the desired depth
on the depth scale.
5. Tighten depth-of-cut adjustment lever securely.
BEVEL ADJUSTMENTS
The angle of cut can be adjusted to any desired setting between 0°and 52°.
Because blade thicknesses vary and different angles require different settings, always make a trial cut in scrap
material along a guideline to determine how much you should offset the guideline on the workpiece to be cut.
TO ADJUST BEVEL SETTING (fig 8)
