• Make sure the inner flange and both faces of the blade are clean and
free of dust.
• Install the saw blade (45) onto the shoulder (46) provided on the inside
arbor collar (47), making sure that the teeth at the bottom edge of the
blade are pointing toward the back of the saw (away from the operator).

Adjustment
WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury, turn unit off and
disconnect machine from power source before installing
and removing accessories, before adjusting or changing
set-ups or when making repairs.
Be sure the trigger switch
is in the OFF position. An accidental start-up can cause injury.
Adjusting the saw blade (fig. F5)
If the saw blade is wobbling during start up and run down, then adjust as
follows.
• Loosen the screw for the arbor collar (44) and rotate the blade (45) a
quarter turn.
• Retighten the screw and check to see if the blade has any wobble.
• Repeat these steps until the blade wobble has been eliminated.
Adjustments for mitre saw mode
Your mitre saw was accurately adjusted at the factory. 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.
Checking and adjusting the blade to the fence (fig. G1 - G4)
• Release the mitre lever (10) and depress the mitre latch (9) to release the
mitre arm (11).
• Swing the mitre arm until the latch locates it at the 0° mitre position. Do
not tighten the lever.
• Pull down the head until the blade just enters the saw kerf (48).
• Place a square (49) against the left side (13) of the fence and blade (45)
(fig. G3).
WARNING: Do not touch the tips of the blade teeth with the
square.
• If adjustment is required, proceed as follows:
• Loosen the screws (50) and move the scale/mitre arm assembly left or
right until the blade is at 90° to the fence as measured with the square.
• Retighten the screws (50). Pay no attention to the reading of the mitre
pointer at this point.
Adjusting the mitre pointer (fig. G1, G2 & H)
• Release the mitre lever (10) and depress the mitre latch (9) to release the
mitre arm (11).
• Move the mitre arm to set the mitre pointer (51) to the zero position, as
shown in fig. H.
• With the mitre lever loose, allow the mitre latch to snap into place as you
rotate the mitre arm past zero.
• Observe the pointer (51) and mitre scale (12). If the pointer does not
indicate exactly zero, loosen the screw (52), move the pointer to read 0°
and tighten the screw.
Mitre lock/detent rod adjustment (fig. I)
If the base of the saw can be moved while the mitre lever (10) is locked, the
mitre lock/detent rod (53) must be adjusted.
• Unlock the mitre lever (10).
• Fully tighten the mitre lock/detent rod (53) using a screwdriver (54). Then
loosen the rod a quarter of a turn.
• Check that the table does not move when the lever (10) is locked at a
random (not preset) angle.
Checking and adjusting the blade to the table (fig. J1 - J4)
• Loosen the bevel clamp handle (15).
• Press the saw head to the right to ensure it is fully vertical and tighten the
bevel clamp handle.
• Pull down the head until the blade just enters the saw kerf (48).
• Place a set square (49) on the table and up against the blade (45)
(fig. J2).
WARNING: Do not touch the tips of the blade teeth with the
square.
• If adjustment is required, proceed as follows:
• Loosen the bevel clamp handle (15) and turn the vertical position
adjustment stop screw (55) in or out until the blade is at 90° to the table
as measured with the square.
• If the bevel pointer (56) does not indicate zero on the bevel scale (14),
loosen the screw (57) that secures the pointer and move the pointer as
necessary.
Adjusting the fence (fig. K1 & K2)
The upper part of the left side of the fence can be adjusted to the left to
provide clearance, allowing the saw to bevel to a full 45° left. To adjust the
fence (13):
• Loosen the plastic knob (58) and slide the fence to the left.
• Make a dry run with the saw switched off and check for clearance.
Adjust the fence to be as close to the blade as practical to provide
maximum workpiece support, without interfering with the up and down
movement of the arm.
• Tighten the knob securely.
WARNING: The guide groove (59) can become clogged with
sawdust. Use a stick or some low pressure air to clear the guide
groove.
