Failure to remove the battery pack may result in accidental starting and serious personal injury. SETTING THE BLADE DEPTH See Figure 11. Always keep the correct blade depth setting. The correct blade depth setting for all cuts should not exceed 1/4 in. below the material being cut. More blade depth will increase the chance of kickback and cause the cut to be rough. For more depth of cut accuracy, a scale is located on the upper blade guard. [] Remove the battery pack from the saw. [] Loosen the depth adjustment knob. [] Determine the desired depth of cut. [] Locate the depth of cut scale on the back of the upper blade guard. [] Hold the base flat against the workpiece and raise or lower the saw until the indicator mark on the bracket aligns with the desired scale measurement on the blade guard. [] Tighten the depth adjustment knob securely. TO TIGHTEN TO LOWERSAW DEPTH ADJUSTMENT KNOB TO LOOSEN BASE ASSEMBLY Fig. 11 15
