Adjustments
Before attempting any adjust-
ments – To avoid injury from unexpected
starting or electrical shock make sure the
trigger is released and remove the power cord
from the power source. Failure to comply may
cause serious injury!
Note:
Your miter saw was adjusted at the factory.
However, during shipment slight misalignment may
have occurred. Check the following settings and
adjust if necessary prior to using this miter saw.
Bevel Stop Adjustments
90°(0°) Bevel Adjustment
1. Set the miter angle to 0°.
Note:
A
bevel
angle of 0° corresponds to a
blade-
to-miter-table
angle of 90°.
2. Turn
the
bevel lock handle
(A, Fig. 8) clockwise
to loosen and tilt the cutting arm while pushing
the
bevel detent pin
(E, Fig. 10)
in
against the
0° bevel stop. Turn the
bevel lock handle
(A,
Fig. 8) counterclockwise to tighten.
3. Place a combination square on the miter table
with the rule against the table and heel of the
square against the saw blade.
If the blade is not 0° to the miter table:
4. Using a 4mm hex wrench, loosen four
adjustment screws
(B, Fig. 9) at the back of the
miter saw. Pull the
bevel detent pin
(E, Fig. 10)
out fully.
5. Unlock the
bevel lock handle
(A, Fig. 8) and
position the cutting arm to be zero degrees to
the table using the combination square as your
reference.
6. When the blade is at zero degrees to the table,
turn the
bevel lock handle
(A, Fig. 8) clockwise
to tighten.
7. Push in the
bevel detent pin
(E, Fig. 10). If the
pin doesn’t slide in, the anchor plate needs to
be shifted. To do this, move the
adjustment
screws
(B, Fig. 9) in their slots until the
bevel
detent pin
slides in.
8. Now slide the
adjustment screws
(B, Fig. 9)
until the anchor plate rests against the bevel
detent pin. Tighten the four
adjustment screws.
(B, Fig. 9).
Note: Use the screws to hold the
anchor plate against the detent pin while
tightening the screws, to prevent slack
occurring during the tightening process.
