First, unplug the tool. Loosen all the screws (2 each on

left and right) securing the kerf boards. Re-tighten them

only to the extent that the kerf boards can still be easily

moved by hand. Lower the handle fully and push in the

stopper pin to lock the handle in the lowered position.

Loosen the locking screw counterclockwise which

secures the upper slide poles and also push forward the

lock lever which secures the lower slide poles. Pull the

carriage toward you fully. Adjust the kerf boards so that

the kerf boards just contact the sides of the blade teeth.

Tighten the front screws (do not tighten firmly). Push the

carriage toward the guide fence fully and adjust the kerf

boards so that the kerf boards just contact the sides of

blade teeth. Tighten the rear screws (do not tighten

firmly).

After adjusting the kerf boards, release the stopper pin

and raise the handle. Then tighten all the screws

securely.

NOTICE:

• After setting the bevel angle ensure that the

kerf boards are adjusted properly. Correct

adjustment of the kerf boards will help provide

proper support of the workpiece minimizing

workpiece tear out.

Maintaining maximum cutting capacity

This tool is factory adjusted to provide the maximum

cutting capacity for a 255 mm (10") saw blade.

Unplug the tool before any adjustment is attempted.

When installing a new blade, always check the lower limit

position of the blade and if necessary, adjust it as follows:

009518

009737

009736

First, unplug the tool. Lower the stopper lever to position

the saw blade as shown in the figure. Push the carriage

toward the guide fence fully and lower the handle

completely. Use the socket wrench to turn the adjusting

bolt until the periphery of the blade extends slightly below

the top surface of the turn base at the point where the

front face of the guide fence meets the top surface of the

turn base.

With the tool unplugged, 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.

After adjustment, always return the stopper lever to the

original position by turning it counterclockwise.

WARNING:

• After installing a new blade and with the tool

unplugged, 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.
