English For the most efficient cutting action, set the depth adjustment so that one-half tooth of the blade will project below the material to be cut. This distance is from the tip of the tooth to the bottom of the gullet in front of it. This keeps blade friction at a minimum, removes sawdust from the cut, results in cooler, faster sawing and reduces the chance of kickback. A method for checking for correct cutting depth is shown in Figure F. Lay a piece of the material you plan to cut along the side of the blade, as shown, and observe how much tooth projects beyond the material. Fig. F 5. Confirm the accuracy of the setting by checking the squareness of an actual cut on a scrap piece of material.
