Step Two: Blade Square to Fence
(Miter Alignment)
WARNING: To reduce the risk of
injury from unexpected starting
or electrical shock, do not plug
the saw in. The power cord must
remain unplugged whenever you
are working on the saw.
Adjust Blade Square to Fence:
1. Lower the blade and engage the lock
pin. Use a combination square. Place
the square against the fence and next
to the blade as illustrated. Locate the
square properly so it does not contact
the set in the teeth of sawblade, giving
an inaccurate reading. The sawblade
should contact the full length of the
square.
1. If blade contacts full length of square,
no alignment is necessary, skip a-f
below. If blade is not square to the
fence, follow the alignment procedure.
a. Loosen miter lock knob a half turn.
The saw power head should still be
secured in the lowered position by
the lock pin.
CAUTION: To keep from losing con-
trol of the unit, steady the base with
one hand while loosening the two
bolts with the other hand.
b. With the unit securely resting on a
large stable surface, tilt the unit by
lifting up on one side or the other of
the base. Using combination wrench
supplied, loosen the two miter arm
cap head screws on the underside of
the turn table.
c. Return the saw to its normal resting
position. Make sure the miter lock
knob is loose but do not release the
index spring.
d. Use the miter saw knob to move the
table so that the blade contacts the
full length of the square. Watch out
for tooth set. Turn the miter lock knob
clockwise to lock saw square to
fence.
Cap Head Screws
e. Tilt saw as in Step b and tighten cap
head screws.
f. Recheck blade squareness to fence
and readjust if necessary.
Adjust Miter Scale Indicator
1. Through the hole in front of the table
insert, loosen the Phillips screw that
holds the Vernier indicator in place.
1. Reposition the indicator to align it with
0° mark, and retighten screw.
