ASSEMBLY
SQUARING THE BLADE TO THE MITER TABLE
See Figures 21 - 24.
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 knob approximately one-half turn.
Depress the miter lock plate and rotate the miter table
until the scale indicator is positioned at 0°.
Release the miter lock plate and securely tighten the miter
lock knob.
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 21.
If the top or bottom of the saw blade angles away from
the square as shown in figures 22 and 23, adjustments
are needed.
Loosen the lock nut securing bevel stop adjustment screw.
Also loosen bevel lock knob.
Adjust bevel stop adjustment screw to bring saw blade
into alignment with the square. See "Bevel Stop Adjust-
ment" (figure 34) in the Adjustment section.
Retighten bevel lock knob. Next, retighten lock nut securing
the bevel stop adjustment screw. Recheck blade-to-table
alignment.
NOTE: The above procedure can be used to check
squareness of the saw blade to the miter table at both
0° and 45° angles. To check alignment at 45°, rotate the
bevel override to the 45° bevel stop and set the saw arm
at a 45° bevel.
Your saw has several scale indicators. After squaring ad-
justments have been made, it may be necessary to loosen
the indicators screws and reset them to zero. See Figures
19 and 20.
