Adjustment
Prior to adjustment always unplug the tool.
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.

The blade must run at a constant cutting depth along the full length of the
table and must not touch the fixed table at the rear of the slot or at the
front of the rotating arm. To achieve this, the traverse arms must be
perfectly parallel to the table when the saw head is fully depressed.
• Press the combined lower guard and head lock up release lever (2).
