Adjusting Bevel Lock Tension
CHECKING BEVEL LOCK TENSION
1. Pull up the bevel lock lever to release tension. If
it feels too hard to pull up, an adjustment may be
required.
2. Check the tilt resistance. Grab main handle and
slowly tilt the saw to the left. While tilting, some
resistance should be felt. At approximately 30°, the
resistance should become lower. If little or no resis-
tance is felt, an adjustment may be required.
3. Check bevel lock tension. Push down on the bevel
lock lever – normally more pressure is needed at the
start; then the lever should go fully down to the lock
position with a "thump".
A) If it is too hard to push the lever fully down, then it
may require tension adjustment.
B) Check locking power: Tilt the saw to about 30°
and push down on bevel lock lever. Firmly press
on the right side of the saw head - If the saw head
tilts more than 1/2° from the locked position,
then the bevel lock tension needs adjustment.
ADJUSTING BEVEL LOCK TENSION
The bevel lock lever tension has been set at the factory.
After extensive use of the tool, it may requirean adjust-
ment. Before adjusting tension, the tilt resistance
should be set.
1. Pull up the bevel lock lever to release tension.
2. Adjusting Tilt Resistance (see step 2 above).
A) If resistance is too low, slightly tighten (1/16th
turn) the large lock nut "H" using a 24mm socket
or wrench.
B) If resistance is too high, slightly loosen (1/16th
turn) the large lock nut "H" using a 24mm socket
or wrench.
Adjustments
3. Adjusting Tension (see steps 1 and 3 above) Pull up
and push down the bevel lock lever.
A) If the lever is too hard to pull or push, the tension
can be decreased by using a 17mm socket or
wrench to loosen lock nut "E" (1/8th turn). Check
again.
B) If the lever is too easy to pull or push or if the saw
head does not fully lock at a bevel setting, then
the tension can be increased by using a 17mm
socket or wrench to tighten lock nut "E" (1/8th
turn). Check again.
