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.
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. E1–E4)
• Release the mitre lever (4) and depress the mitre latch (5) to
release the mitre arm (42).
• 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
(43).
• Place a square (44) against the left side of the fence (3) and
blade (39) (fig. E3).
WARNING:
Do not touch the tips of the blade teeth
with the square.
• If adjustment is required, proceed as follows:
• Loosen the screws (45) 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 (45). Pay no attention to the reading of
the mitre pointer at this point.
Adjusting the mitre pointer (fig. E1, E2 & F)
• Release the mitre lever (4) and depress the mitre latch (5) to
release the mitre arm (42).
• Move the mitre arm to set the mitre pointer (46) to the zero
position,
as shown in fig. F.
• With the mitre lever loose, allow the mitre latch to snap into
place as you rotate the mitre arm past zero.
• Observe the pointer (46) and mitre scale (7). If the pointer
does not indicate exactly zero, loosen the screw (47), move
the pointer to read 0° and tighten the screw.
Mitre lock/detent rod adjustment (fig. A1, G)
If the base of the saw can be moved while the mitre lever (4) is
locked,
the mitre lock/detent rod (48) must be adjusted.
• Unlock the mitre lever (4).
• Loosen the lock nut (61) on the miter lock rod.
• Fully tighten the mitre lock/detent rod (48) using a
screwdriver.
Then loosen the rod one turn.
• Check that the table does not move when the lever (4) is
locked at
a random (not preset) angle.
• Tighten lock nut (61).
Checking and adjusting the blade to the table (fig. A2, H1–
H4)
• Loosen the bevel clamp handle (21) and lift the bevel latch
(20) to release the saw arm.
• Move the saw arm until the latch locates it at the 0° bevel
position.
Do not tighten the handle.
• Pull down the head until the blade just enters the saw kerf
(43).
• Block the head saw down with the pin (22).
• Place a set square (44) on the table and up against the blade
(39) (fig. H2).
WARNING:
Do not touch the tips of the blade teeth
with the square.
• If adjustment is required, proceed as follows:
• Loosen the nuts (55) and move the saw arm assembly left or
right until the blade is at 90° to the table as measured with
the square.
Retighten the nuts (55).
• If the bevel pointer (50) does not indicate zero on the bevel
scale (15), loosen the screw (51) that secures the pointer and
move the pointer as necessary.
Adjusting the fence (fig. I1 & I2)
The upper part of the fence can be adjusted to provide
clearance, allowing the saw to bevel to a full 48° both left and
right.
To adjust the left fence (3):
• Loosen the plastic knob (52) 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.
To adjust the right fence (8):
• Loosen the plastic knob (53) and slide the fence to the right.
• Proceed as for adjusting the left fence.
WARNING:
The guide grooves (54) can become
clogged with sawdust. Use a stick or some low
pressure air to clear the guide grooves.
Adjusting the bevel clamping system (fig. J)
If the saw arm can be moved when the bevel clamp handle (21)
is locked, the clamping sytem must be adjusted.
• Remove the screw (56) holding the handle.
• Lift off the handle and turn it 1/8 turn counterclockwise. Refit
the screw.
