Adjustments

PERFORM ALL ADJUSTMENTS WITH THE MITER
SAW UNPLUGGED
NOTE: Your miter saw is fully and accurately adjusted at
the factory at the time of manufacture. 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.
Take a little time now to follow these directions carefully to
maintain the accuracy of which your saw is capable.

MITER SCALE ADJUSTMENT

Place a square against the saw's fence and blade, as
shown in Figure 8. (Do not touch the tips of the blade teeth
with the square. To do so will cause an inaccurate meas-
urement.) Loosen the miter clamp knob (see Fig. 9) and
swing the miter arm until the miter latch locks it at the 0˚
miter position. Do not tighten the clamp knob. If the saw
blade is not exactly perpendicular to the fence, loosen the
three screws that hold the miter scale to the base (shown
in Fig. 9) and move the scale/miter arm assembly left or
right until the blade is perpendicular to the fence, as meas-
ured with the square. Retighten the three screws. Pay no
attention to the reading of the miter pointer at this point.

MITER POINTER ADJUSTMENT

Loosen the miter clamp knob and squeeze the miter latch
to move the miter arm to the zero position, as shown in
Figure 9. With the miter clamp knob loose allow the miter
latch to snap into place as you rotate the miter arm past
zero. Observe the pointer and miter scale through the
viewing opening shown in Figure 10. If the pointer does not
indicate exactly zero, loosen the pointer screw, adjust the
pointer to 0˚ and retighten.

BEVEL SQUARE TO TABLE

To align the blade square to the rotary table, lock the arm
in the down position. Place a square against the blade tak-
ing care to not have the square on top of a tooth, as shown
in Figure 11B. Loosen the Bevel Clamp Knob so that you
can move the Bevel Arm. Move the Bevel Arm as neces-
