Correctadjustment of the kerf boards will help provideproper support of the workpiece minimizing work-piece tear out.Maintaining maximum cuttingcapacity123► 1. Adjusting bolt 2. Guide fence 3. Turn base231► 1. Top surface of turn table 2. Periphery of blade3. Guide fenceThis tool is factory adjusted to provide the maximumcutting capacity for a 190 mm (7-1/2") saw blade.Remove the battery cartridge before any adjustment isattempted.
