NOTICE: Your sliding miter saw was completely adjusted at the factory. However, during
shipment, slight misalignment may have occurred. Check the following settings and make
adjustments, if necessary, prior to using this sliding miter saw.
Bevel square-to-table adjustment
1. Loosen the slide-rail lock knob, slide the
head assembly completely to the back and
tighten the slide-rail-lock knob securely.
2.
Loosen the bevel-lock knob and set the
head assembly at 0° bevel. Ensure that the
right- bevel-release knob was engaged.
Then tighten the bevel lock knob.
3.
Pull the head assembly all the way down
and engage the lock pin to hold the head
assembly in the transport position.
4. Engage the miter detent at the 0° position
(See Miter-Angle Adjustment). Then
tighten the miter-lock knob to secure the
miter table.
5.
Place a combination square against the miter table and the flat part of saw blade.
NOTICE: Make sure that the square contacts the flat part of the saw blade and not the blade
teeth.
6.
Rotate the blade by hand and check the blade-to-table alignment at several points.
7.
The edge of the square and the saw blade should be parallel. (Fig.22)
8.
If the top or bottom of the saw blade angles away from the square (Fig 22a, 22b)
adjustments are needed.
