When mounting new blade, the teeth must point in the direction of blade rotation. Replace outer clamp washer. Replace and tighten the blade bolt as much as possible with the fingers, then tighten firmly with the blade wrench. CUTTING DEPTH ADJUSTMENT (FIG. 4-6) DISCONNECT PLUG FROM POWER SUPPLY.

Align the appropriate mark on the depth adjustment strap with triangle on the upper blade guard.(Fig. 4)(A) Your depth is set. For the most efficient cutting action using a carbide tipped saw blade, set the Depth Adjustment so that about one half of a tooth projects below the surface of the wood to be cut (Figure 5). A method of checking for the correct cutting depth is shown in Figure 6. Lay a piece of the material you plan to cut along the side of the blade, as shown in the figure, and observe how much tooth projects beyond the material.

On the front of the saw is a bevel angle adjustment mechanism consisting of a calibrated quadrant (A) and a knob. To set the saw for a bevel cut, turn the Bevel Adjustment knob (B) counterclockwise to 5
