Maintaining maximum cutting capacity

This tool is factory adjusted to provide the maximum cutting

capacity for a 190 mm (7 - 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:

First, unplug the tool. 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 hold-

ing 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.

CAUTION:

• After installing a new blade, always be sure that the

blade does not contact any part of the lower base when

the handle is lowered completely. Always do this with the

tool unplugged.

Stopper arm

The lower limit position of the blade can be easily adjusted

with the stopper arm. To adjust it, move the stopper arm in

the direction of the arrow as shown in the figure. Adjust the

adjusting screw so that the blade stops at the desired posi-

tion when lowering the handle fully.
