Depth Of Cut Adjustment - Craftsman 315.114233 Operator's Manual

DEPTH OF CUT ADJUSTMENT
Always keep correct blade depth setting. The correct
blade depth setting for al! cuts should not exceed 1/4
inch below the material to be cut. More blade depth will
increase the chance of kickback and cause the cut to be
rough. One blade tooth below the matedal to be cut works
best for most efficient cutting action.
TO ADJUST BLADE DEPTH
See Figure 13.
[] Remove battery pack from saw.
[] Loosen depth adjustment knob.
[] Hold base flat against the workpiece and raise or lower
saw until the required depth is reached.
[] Tighten depth adjustment knob securely.
