8. Move the guard bracket (ll) down until the angled corner piece (mm)
is below the head of the guard bracket screw (kk).
9. Tighten the guard bracket screw.
WARnInG: Never press the spindle lock while the blade is
rotating. Be sure to hold the guard bracket down and firmly
tighten the guard bracket screw after installing the blade.
WARnInG: The guard bracket must be returned to its
original position and the screw tightened before activating
the saw. Failure to do so may allow the guard to contact
the spinning saw blade resulting in damage to the saw and
severe personal injury.
Adjustments
WARnInG: To reduce the risk of injury, turn off tool
and disconnect from power source before attempting to
move it, changing accessories or making any adjustments
accept as written in laser adjustment instructions..
Your mitre saw was accurately adjusted at the factory. If readjustment
due to shipping and handling or any other reason is required, follow the
steps below to adjust your saw. Once made, these adjustments should
remain accurate.
ChECKING AND ADJUSTING ThE mITRE SCALE (FIG. 10, 11)
1. Release the mitre lock lever (e) and swing the mitre arm until the
latch locates it at the 0° mitre position. Do not lock miter lock
lever (e).
2. Pull down the head until the blade just enters the saw kerf (s).
3. Place a square (tt) against the left side of the fence (v) and blade
(oo) (fig. 10).
WARnInG: Do not touch the tips of the blade teeth with
the square.
If adjustment is required, proceed as follows:
4. Loosen the three screws (ss) and move the scale/mitre arm
assembly left or right until the blade perpendicular to the fence as
measured with the square.
5. Retighten the three screws (ss). Pay no attention to the reading of
the mitre pointer at this point.
ADJUSTING ThE mITRE PoINTER (FIG. 10–12)
1. Release the mitre lock lever (e) and depress the mitre detent (u) to
release the mitre arm (a1).
2. Move the mitre arm to set the mitre pointer (uu) to the zero position,
as shown in figure 12.
3. With the mitre lever loose, allow the mitre latch to snap into place
as you rotate the mitre arm past zero.
4. Observe the pointer (uu) and mitre scale (f). If the pointer does not
indicate exactly zero, loosen the screw (a2), move the pointer to
read 0° and tighten the screw.
mITRE LoCK RoD ADJUSTmENT (FIG. 22)
If the base of the saw can be moved while the mitre lock lever (e) is
locked, the mitre lock rod must be adjusted.
1. Unlock the mitre lock lever (e).
2. Place the mitre lock lever (e) in the up position.
3. Using a hex wrench, loosen the set screw (v v) on the pivot pin.
NoTE: Some models will not have this set screw, proceed to
step 4.
4. Adjust the mitre lock rod in 3.2 mm clockwise turn increments to
increase the lock force.
5. Check that the table does not move when the lever (e) is locked at
a random (not preset) angle.
6. Tighten set screw (v v).
ChECKING AND ADJUSTING ThE BLADE To ThE TABLE (FIG. 13–18)
1. Loosen the bevel clamp handle (p).
2. Press the mitre arm to the right to ensure it is fully vertical with
the angle position stop (z) located against the vertical position
adjustment stop (bb) and tighten the bevel clamp handle.
3. Pull down the head until the blade just enters the saw kerf (s).

4. Place a set square (tt) on the table and up against the blade (oo)
(fig. 15).
WARnInG: Do not touch the tips of the blade teeth with
the square.
If adjustment is required, proceed as follows:
5. Loosen the lock nut (ww) a few turns, and while making sure the
stop screw (bb) is firmly in contact with the angle position stop (z),
turn the vertical position adjustment stop screw (bb) in or out until
the blade is at 90º to the table as measured with the square.
6. Firmly tighten the lock nut (ww) while holding the stop screw (bb)
stationary.
7. If the bevel pointer (xx) does not indicate zero on the bevel scale
(q), loosen the screw (yy) that secures the pointer and move the
pointer as necessary.
ADJUSTING ThE FENCE (FIG. 19)
The upper part of the fence can be adjusted to provide clearance,
allowing the saw to bevel to a full 48° both left and right.
To adjust the left fence (v):
1. Loosen the plastic knob (k) and slide the fence to the left.
2. Make a dry run with the saw switched off and check for clearance.
Adjust the fence to be as close to the blade as practical to provide
maximum workpiece support, without interfering with the up and
down movement of the arm.
3. Tighten the knob securely.
To adjust the right fence (c):
4. Loosen the plastic knob (k) and slide the fence to the right.
5. Proceed as for adjusting the left fence.
WARnInG: The guide grooves (zz) can become clogged
with sawdust. Use a stick or some low pressure air to clear
the guide grooves.
ChECKING AND ADJUSTING ThE BEVEL ANGLE (FIG. 19, 20)
1. Loosen the left side fence clamping knob (k) and slide the upper
part of the left side fence to the left as far as it will go.
2. Loosen the bevel clamp handle (p) and move the saw arm to
the left until the angle position stop (z) rests on the bevel position
adjustment stop (aa). This is the the 45° bevel position.
If adjustment is required, proceed as follows:
3. Loosen the locknut (ww) a few turns and turn the bevel position
adjustment stop screw (aa) in or out until the pointer (xx) indicates
45° with the angle position stop (z) resting on the bevel position
adjustment stop.
4. Firmly tighten the lock nut (ww) while holding the stop screw (aa)
stationary.
5. To achieve a 3° right bevel or a 48° left bevel, the two adjustment
stop screws must be adjusted to allow the saw arm to move the as
necessary.
GUARD ACTUATIoN AND VISIBILITY
The blade guard on your saw has been designed to automatically raise
when the arm is brought down and to lower over the blade when the
arm is raised.
The guard can be raised by hand when installing or removing saw
blades or for inspection of the saw. NEVER RAISE THE BLADE GUARD
MANUALLY UNLESS THE SAW IS TURNED OFF.
NoTE: Certain special cuts will require that you manually raise the
guard. See section on cutting base molding up to 88.9 mm high.
The front section of the guard is louvered for visibility while cutting.
Although the louvers dramatically reduce flying debris, they are
openings in the guard and safety glasses should be worn at all times
when viewing through the louvers.
AUTomATIC ELECTRIC BRAKE
Your saw is equipped with an automatic electric blade brake which
stops the saw blade within 5 seconds of trigger release. This is not
adjustable.
On occasion, there may be a delay after trigger release to brake
engagement. On rare occasions, the brake may not engage at all and
the blade will coast to a stop.
