Maintaining maximum cutting capacity
'
Unplug the tool before any adjustment is attempted.
This tool is factory adjusted to provide the max. cutting capacity for a 305 mm (12") saw
blade. When the diameter of the blade has been reduced due to sharpening, adjust the
depth adjusting bolt by turning it with the socket wrench. The saw blade is lowered by
turning the depth adjusting bolt counterclockwise and raised by turning it clockwise. Adjust
so that when the handle is in the fully lowered position, there will be a distance of about
203 mm (8") from the front face of the guide fence to the point where the front edge of
the blade enters the kerf. With the tool unplugged, rotate the blade by hand while holding
the handle all the way down. Be sure that the blade does not contact any
part
of the lower
base when the handle is lowered completely.

clockwise.
CAUTION:
When turning the turn base, be sure to raise the handle fully.
