•  Plug in your saw.
•  Turn the saw to one of the 45° markings. (

Double Miter System

- You only need to make one cut 

with each saw - Left Saw with cut to the left / Right Saw with cut  to the right)

•  Make your cut through the fence of the scale base and into the cutting block. 

STOP when the blade

has just reached the outside edge of the top of the cutting block.  This will give you the full cut-
ting capacity of our system. This is also where you should set your DEPTH STOP!

•  Turn your saw to the other 45° angle and make your second cut, as above.
•  There may be one or two narrow pieces of aluminum in the fence of the scale after you have made your cuts - 

by bending back and forth with pliers, these should be removed.  

Be Careful as these could be sharp

•  Unplug your saw
•  Read through this entire section before doing in case you have to shorten the cutting 

block as indicated by ***

•  Have available a premeasured piece of moulding (mitered at both ends) - Measuring the inside rab-

bet.  Also, have the black bolts w/washers and allen wrench ready to reattach the scales.

•  Place the right scale back in position and push it next to the cutting block
•  Lower the head of the unplugged saw until the blade is in the cutting block
•  Put the outside of the moulding firmly against the back fence and slide the left side of the piece of 

moulding (rabbet facing you) against the edge of the saw blade.

•  Now slide the scale back and forth until the correct scale measurement ( where inside edge of right 

miter hits the scale markings) is indicated.  Now replace and slowly tighten the black bolts.

*** There may be a small gap between the edge of the cutting block and the edge of the scale. Some 

saws may require a shortening of the cutting block.  This all depends on the particular saw the you 
are using.

•  Repeat for the left scale
(

Double Miter Scale - SW7SP Scale

- - Since you only have one side to calibrate, simply 

reattach the plain plates and the scale piece that measures from 41-64")
