3. Adjusting vertical position of blade

The miter saw is factory-adjusted with a

standard blade cutting depth for a 355 mm

(14") saw blade. Thus. IF YOU ARE NOT

USING A STANDARD SAW BLADE,

loosen the hex nut.on the end of the gear

housing and use a minus (-) screwdriver to

turn the cutting depth adjustment bolt to

the right, Adjust so that when the operat-

ing handle is in the fully lowered posit_on

there willl be a distance of about 152 mm

3") from the front face of the guide fence

(guide rule) to the point where the front

edge of the blade .enters the kerf. (See

photo at below.) This wit1 produce the

correct depth adjustment. Then tighten

the hex nut,

4. Safety cover

(Prevents contact with blade)

-he see-through safety cover (lower blade

guard) raises as the work is contacted and

cutting begins, and it returns to its original

position when cutting is completed, Never

lock the guard at a fixed position. Always

use the guard in the freely telescoping con-

d_tion for your personal safety, Any irregu-

lar operation of the safety guard should be

corrected promptty. Never use the miter

saw with a faulty guard.

* If the see-through guard becomes dirty or sawdust adheres in such a way that the blade*

and/or work may not be easily visible, clean it off carefuEly with a damp cloth.
