Positioning kerf boards
This tool is provided with kerf boards in the turn base. 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 unplug the tool. Loosen the all screws
(2 each on left and right) which secure the
kerf boards. Retighten them to the extent
that the kerf boards can be easily moved
by hand. Lower the handle fully and press
the stopper pin to lock the handle in the
lowered position. Adjust the kerf boards
so that the kerf boards just contact the
sides of blade teeth slightly. Tighten the all
screws (do not tighten firmly). After adjust-
ing the kerf boards, release the stopper pin
and raise the handle. Then tighten the all
screws securely.
