4.3 Ajuste de la profundidad de corte

To adjust the cutting depth, loosen the depth adjustment lever, move the shoe up or down to the desired depth, and then firmly tighten the lever. For optimal performance and safety, set the blade depth so that the blade extends approximately 1/8 inch (3 mm) below the workpiece.

4.4 Ajuste del ángulo de bisel

To make bevel cuts, loosen the bevel adjustment lever, tilt the saw shoe to the desired angle (up to 45 degrees), and then securely tighten the lever. Always test the angle on a scrap piece of material before making the final cut.

5. Operación

5.1 Pautas generales de corte

• Asegúrese de que la pieza de trabajo esté bien sujeta.amped o apoyado para evitar el movimiento durante el corte.
• Utilice siempre el equipo de protección personal (EPP) adecuado, que incluya gafas de seguridad, protección auditiva y una mascarilla antipolvo.

5.2 Realizar cortes rectos

For straight cuts, align the saw's cutting line indicator with your marked line on the workpiece. Use a straight edge or guide for longer cuts to ensure accuracy. Apply even pressure and guide the saw smoothly through the material.

5.3 Realización de cortes biselados

After setting the desired bevel angle (refer to Section 4.4), position the saw so the blade enters the material at the correct angle. Be aware that the cutting line indicator may shift slightly when making bevel cuts, so adjust your alignment accordingly.

5.4 Electric Brake Function

The SKIL SPT70V-11 is equipped with an electric brake that rapidly stops the blade rotation upon release of the trigger. This feature enhances safety by reducing coasting time and allows for quicker transitions between cuts.
