After adjusting the kerf boards, release the stopper pin and raise the handle. Then tighten all the screws securely.

Maintaining maximum cutting capacity This tool is factory adjusted to provide the maximum cutting capacity for a 165 mm (6-1/2") saw blade. When installing a new blade, always check the lower limit position of the blade, and if necessary, adjust it as follows: 1. Remove the battery cartridge. Lower the handle completely. 2. Use the hex wrench to turn the lower limit adjusting bolt until the saw blade comes slightly below the cross section of the guide fence and the top surface of the turn base. 1 1 ► 1 . Guide fence 3. Rotate the blade by hand while holding the handle all the way down to be sure that the blade does not contact any part of the lower base. Re-adjust slightly, if necessary. WARNING: After installing a new blade and with the battery cartridge removed, always be sure that the blade does not contact any part of the lower base when the handle is lowered completely. If a blade makes contact with the base it may cause kickback and result in serious personal injury. Sub-fence This tool is equipped with the sub-fence and small sub-fences.
