Cleaning, Maintenance,
and Lubrication
1.
BEFORE EACH USE,
inspect the general
condition of the tool. Check for:
• loose hardware
• misalignment or binding of moving parts
• cracked or broken parts
• damaged electrical wiring
• any other condition that may
affect its safe operation.
2.
AFTER USE,
wipe external surfaces
of the tool with clean cloth.
3.
WARNING! If the supply cord of this
power tool is damaged, it must be replaced
only by a qualified service technician.
Calibrating the Miter Scale
To make accurate cuts, the Saw Blade
must be perpendicular (at a 90º angle) to
the Fence. To adjust the setting:
1. First unplug the tool.
2. Lower the Saw Head Assembly and lock it
in place using the Head Lock-Down Pin.
3. Loosen the Miter Lock Knob by turning it
approximately 1/4 turn counterclockwise.
4. Pull up on the Miter Detent Lever to unlock the Table
and move the Table to the 0º miter position.
Release the Miter Detent Lever to lock the Table
in position. Do not tighten the Miter Lock Knob.
5. Lay a carpenter’s square on the Table with
one edge along the Blade and the other along
the Fence. Any inaccuracy should be visible.
NOTE: The square must contact the surface of the
Blade, not the teeth, for an accurate reading.
6. If the Fence is not perpendicular (at a 90º angle)
to the Saw Blade, loosen the four screws holding
the Miter Scale. Using the square to measure,
move the Table and Scale together left or right
until the Blade and Fence are perpendicular
to each other, then tighten the four screws.
7. Once the Blade and Fence are perpendicular,
check the Miter Angle Indicator and Miter Scale.
The Indicator should point to zero. If necessary,
loosen the Miter Angle Indicator screw and move
the Indicator to zero, then tighten the screw.
Calibrating the Bevel Angle
For making accurate cuts, the Saw Blade must
be adjusted to be exactly vertical to the Table. If
adjustment is necessary have the Miter Saw
serviced by a qualified service technician.
Adjusting or Replacing
the Kerf Board
If the Kerf Board becomes damaged it must be replaced.
1. Remove the six screws holding
the Kerf Board in place.
2. Install a new Kerf Board. Replace the
six screws and tighten them slightly.
3. To adjust the Kerf Board, lower the Saw
Head Assembly and lock it in place
using the Head Lock-Down Pin.
4. Adjust the Kerf Board so the right side of the
Blade slightly clears the edge of the Kerf Board.
5. Loosen the Bevel Lock and set
the Bevel Angle at 45º left.
6. Ensure that the left side of the
Blade clears the Kerf Board.
7. Tighten the six screws holding
the Kerf Board in place.
