DEPTH OF CUT ADJUSTMENTAlways keep correct blade depth setting. The correctblade depth setting for al! cuts should not exceed 1/4inch below the material to be cut. More blade depth willincrease the chance of kickback and cause the cut to berough. One blade tooth below the matedal to be cut worksbest for most efficient cutting action.TO ADJUST BLADE DEPTHSee Figure 13.[] Remove battery pack from saw.[] Loosen depth adjustment knob.[] Hold base flat against the workpiece and raise or lowersaw until the required depth is reached.[] Tighten depth adjustment knob securely.TO RAISESAWTOLOWERSAWTOLOOSENBASEASSEMBLYTOTIGHTENDEPTHADJUSTMENTKNOBFig. 13USmNG THE LASER GUmDESee Figure 14.WARMNG: Do not stare into the laser beam orturn the laser on when the too] is not in use.
