6. If blade is not 90° to miter table (i.e. square does
not sit flush against both surfaces), turn right set
screw (E, Figure 8-7) in or out until blade is 90°
to table.
7. If needed, loosen screw (D, Figure 8-7) and
adjust bevel angle indicator to align with zero on
scale. Retighten screw.

8.5.2 45° bevel stop adjustment
1. Unplug saw from electrical outlet.
2. Make sure 90-degree bevel stop is accurate
(sect. 8.5.1).
3. Set miter angle to zero degrees. Fully extend
both sliding fences to prevent obstruction.
4. Pull up bevel lock handle (A, Figure 8-4).
5. Pull out bevel lock pin (B, Figure 8-4) and tilt
cutting head to 45-degrees left. The cutting
head should stop at the 45-degree mark on
scale.
10. If adjustment is needed, turn left set screw (C)
as needed to bring cutting head to 45-degree
mark on scale. Verify the setting using a 45-
degree angle tool on the table and against
blade.
Note: The left set screw (C, Figure 9-7) may be
used instead to set a different angle stop, less than
45°, that is used frequently by the operator.
The right 45° tilt stop will have already been
established when the 90° setting is calibrated in
sect.
8.5.1.
8.6 Depth adjustment
Cutting depth can be pre-set for even and repetitive
shallow cuts, such as slots or dadoes.
1. Raise cutting head.
2. Loosen screw (F, Figure 8-8) and slide plate (G)
outward. Retighten screw.
3. Pull cutting head down until blade teeth are at
desired depth of cut.
4. Hold cutting head in this position and turn stop
screw (H) until it touches plate (G).
5. Rotate knurled nut (J) against casting to secure
setting.
6. Recheck blade depth by moving cutting head
front to back through the full motion of a typical
cut along the control arm.

Failure to comply may result in serious injury.
Before operating miter saw, verify that blade will

Make sure all locking handles function properly.
A malfunctioning locking handle can present a
safety hazard.
