ASSEMBLY
SQUARING THE BLADE TO THE MITER TABLE
See Figures 20 - 22.
Unplug the saw.
Pull the saw arm all the way down and engage the lock
pin to hold the saw arm in transport position.
Loosen the miter lock handle approximately one-half
turn.
Rotate the miter table until the scale indicator on the
control arm is positioned at 0 ° .
Securely tighten the miter lock handle.
Loosen bevel lock knob and set saw arm at 0 ° bevel
(blade set 90 ° to miter table). Tighten bevel lock knob.
Place a combination square against the miter table and
the flat part of saw blade.
NOTE: Make sure that the square contacts the flat part
of the saw blade, not the blade teeth.
Rotate the blade by hand and check the blade-to-table
alignment at several points.
The edge of the square and the saw blade should be
parallel as shown in figure 20.
If the top or bottom of the saw blade angles away from
the square as shown in figures 21 and 22, adjustments
are needed.

Adjustment in the Adjustment section.
Retighten bevel lock knob. Recheck blade-to-table align-
ment.
NOTE: The above procedure can be used to check blade
squareness of the saw blade to the miter table at both
0 ° and 45 ° angles.
Your saw has several scale indicators. After squaring adjust-
ments have been made, it may be necessary to loosen the
indicator screws and reset them to zero. See Figures 18
