ADJUSTMENTS
WARNING
To avoid injury from an accidental start,
make sure the switch is in the OFF position and the
plug is not connected to the power source outlet.
ADJUSTMENT INSTRUCTIONS
ADJUSTING FENCE SQUARENESS (FIG. M)
1. Loosen the three fence locking bolts (1).
2. Lower the cutting arm and lock in position.
3. Using a square, lay the heel of the square against the
blade, and the ruler agaist the fence (2) as shown. Check
to see if the fence is 90° to the blade.
4. If not, adjust fence 90° to the blade and tighten the fence
locking bolts.
CAUTION: If the saw has not been used recently, recheck
blade squareness to the fence and readjust if needed.
5. After fence has been aligned, using a scrap piece of wood,
make a cut at 90° then check squareness on the piece.
Readjust if necessary.
MITER SCALE (FIG. N)
The miter scale assists the user in setting the desired miter
angles from 45° left to 45° right. The miter saw table
has nine of the most common angle setttings with positive
stops at 0°, 15°, 22.5°, 31.6°, and 45°. These positive stops
position the blade at the desired angle quickly and accurately.
To Adjust the Angle:
1. Unlock the miter table by turning the miter handle (1)
counterclockwise.
2. Press down the positive stop locking lever (2) while holding
the miter handle, and rotate the table left or right to the
desired angle.
3. Release positive stop locking lever. Tighten miter handle.
4. If the desired angle is one of the nine positive stops,
release the positive stop locking lever, making sure the
lever snaps into position, and then secure by tightening the
miter handle.
5. If the miter angle desired is not one of the nine positive
stops, simply lock the miter table into position by turning
the miter handle in the clockwise direction.
To Adjust the Indicator:
1. Adjust the indicator (3) to the 0° mark on the miter scale
(4) to position the miter table.
2. Release positive stop locking lever (2). Tighten miter
handle (1).
WARNING
To avoid injury from unexpected starting or
electrical shock, turn the switch OFF and remove the
power cord from the power source.
NOTE: Before each cutting operation,
check the position of the blade to make sure it does not
contact any metal surface. If the blade contacts any
metal surface, the depth of travel must be adjusted.
CUTTING ARM TRAVEL
Cutting Arm Downward Travel Adjustment (Fig. O)
1. Lower the blade as far as possible.
2. Loosen the locknut (1).
3. Turn the adjustment bolt (2) out (counterclockwise) to
decrease the cutting depth or in (clockwise) to increase the
cutting depth.
4. Carefully rotate the blade manually to check for contact.
Avoid touching blade points or edges.
5. Repeat until adjusted properly, and tighten the locknut (1)
to secure the adjustment bolt (2) into position.
