MAKINGDEPTH-OF-CUT
ADJUSTMENTS
(Fig.6)
ALWAYS
use the correct blade
depth setting. The correct blade
depth setting for all
cuts
should
not be more than 1/4-Inch
below the material being cut
(see Fig.
5).
Allowing more depth
wilt increase the chance of
kickback and cause the cut to
be rough. Your saw
is
equipped
with
a
depth-of-cut scale that
provtdesincreased
Depth-of-Cut
accuracy.
The Depth-of*Cutscale
Is
located
onthe
top
ofthe upper
blade guard (see
Fig.
