Maintaining maximum cutting capacity
003927
This tool is factory adjusted to provide the maximum cutting capacity for a
216 mm 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. Push the carriage toward the guide fence fully and lower
the handle completely. Use the socket 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.
005516
CAUTION:
• After installing a new blade, always be sure that the blade does not
1
contact any part of the lower base when the handle is lowered
completely. Always do this with the tool unplugged.
Stopper arm
006953
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
1
in the figure. Adjust the adjusting screw so that the blade stops at the desired
position when lowering the handle fully.
Mini sub fence
006954
CAUTION:
• Before performing right bevel cuts, place the mini sub fence inside the
guide fence. Failure to do so may cause tool or saw blade to strike the
mini sub fence.
This tool is equipped with the mini sub fence which should ordinarily be posi-
tioned as shown in the figure. This provides wide guide support when perform-
ing right angle cut.
