ASSEMBLY
ADJUSTING THE MITER LOCK
See Figures 17 - 18.
Prior to squaring the saw blade to the fence, ensure the
miter table moves and locks securely.
 Unplug the saw.
 Locate the miter lock nut, miter lock screw and miter lock
shoe on the rear underside of the saw.
To check the clamping force of the miter lock:
 Unplug the saw.
 Lift the miter lock lever and press the miter detent bypass
button to unlock the miter table.
 Rotate the miter table to an "unindexed" miter position
other than 0˚, 15˚, 22.5˚, 31.6˚, 45˚, 60˚, and 67.5˚.
 Push the miter lock lever down and attempt to move the
miter table. If the table moves easily when in the "locked"
position, adjust the miter lock screw.
 Using a 4 mm hex key, adjust the miter lock screw. Make
adjustments of one-quarter turn or less.
NOTE: Turning the miter lock screw clockwise will in-
crease the clamping force. Turning the miter lock screw
counterclockwise decreases the clamping force.
 After making the adjustment, test the clamping force.
To adjust miter table movement:
 Lift the miter lock lever, press the miter detent bypass
button, and move the miter table left to right. If the miter
table does not move freely, adjust the miter lock nut.
 Using the 4 mm hex key, hold the miter lock screw sta-
tionary and use the 13 mm combination wrench to adjust
the nut holding the miter lock shoe.
NOTE: Turning the miter lock nut clockwise will move the
shoe closer to the miter saw base and make it harder to
move the miter table. Turning the miter lock nut coun-
terclockwise will move the shoe farther away from the
base and make it easier to move the table.
 Adjust the miter lock nut until the shoe and miter saw
base are close but not in contact with each other.
 After making the adjustment, test the movement of the
miter table.
 Rotate the miter table to an "unindexed" miter position
other than 0˚, 15˚, 22.5˚, 31.6˚, 45˚, 60˚, and 67.5˚ and push
the miter lock lever down. Test the clamping force.
NOTE: It should take considerable force to move the
table in the locked position.
ADJUSTING THE MITER LOCK LEVER
See Figure 19.
 Unplug the saw.
 Lift the miter lock lever to unlock the miter table.
 If the miter lock lever is not parallel with the top of the
miter table, adjustments are needed.
