ASSEMBLY
NOTE:
Many of the illustrations in this manual show only
portions of the compound miter saw. This is intentional so
that we can clearly show points being made in the illustra
-
tions.
Never operate the saw without all guards securely
in place and in good operating condition.
SQUARING THE SAW BLADE TO THE FENCE
See Figures 14 - 19.
Unplug the saw.
Pull the saw arm all the way down and engage the lock
pin to hold the saw arm in transport position.
Loosen the miter lock handle approximately one-half
turn.
Rotate the miter table until the scale indicator on the
control arm is positioned at 0
°
.
Securely tighten the miter lock handle.
Loosen bevel lock knob and set saw arm at 0° bevel
(blade set 90° to miter table). Tighten bevel lock knob.
Lay a framing square flat on the miter table. Place one
leg of the square against the fence. Slide the other leg
of the square against the flat part of saw blade.
NOTE:
Make sure that the square contacts the flat part
of the saw blade, not the blade teeth.
