pointer is exactly on 90º. Retighten
the screw.
adjusting the bevel angle
For making accurate cuts, the Saw
1.
Blade must be adjusted to be exactly
vertical to the Table.
To check the angle, have the blade
2.
assembly in its normal upright
position. Make a cut on a piece of flat
sided, fairly thick scrap material.
Check the cut with an accurate
3.
square. The cut should be at exactly
90º. You can also check by rotating
one cut-off piece 180º and hold the
cut ends together. If the cut is not
exactly vertical, the two pieces will
form a slight angle.
If necessary, the bevel angle can
4.
be corrected by adjusting the Bevel
Adjustment Screw on the right side
under the Bevel Locking Lever.
Once the bevel angle is adjusted,
5.
adjust the Bevel Angle Indicator to
read 0º when the Saw Blade is in the
vertical position. Loosen the screw
holding the Indicator in place, adjust
it to be exactly over the 0º mark, then
retighten the screw.
adjusting or replacing the kerf
board
If the Kerf Board becomes damaged
1.
it must be replaced.
Remove the four screws holding the
2.
Kerf Board in place.
Install a new Kerf Board. Replace the
3.
four screws and tighten them slightly.
To adjust the Kerf Board, lower the
4.
Saw Blade and lock it down with the
Locking Pin. Adjust the Kerf Board
so the right side of the Blade slightly
clears the edge of the Kerf Board.
Loosen the Bevel Lock and set the
Bevel Angle at 45º left. Ensure that
the left side of the Blade clears the
Kerf Board. Tighten the four screws
holding the Kerf Board in place.
Cleaning and lubricating the
miter Saw
Observe the Dust Bag while using
1.
the saw. Empty the sawdust into an
appropriate container when the bag
is full.
Occasionally wipe or blow off
2.
sawdust that accumulates on the
saw. Saw dust on the Fence can
cause you to make inaccurate cuts.
Keep the Slides free of sawdust.
3.
Wipe or blow them off as required.
Use a dry lubricant or wax on the
slides. Do not use an oil or grease
lubricant, as this will attract dust.
Occasionally lubricate the pivot point
4.
of the Table as well as other moving
parts with a dry lubricant.
