ADJUSTMENT
WARNING:
To avoid possible injury, disconnect the tool’s plug from the power
source before performing any assembly, adjustment, or repair.
IMPORTANT: Do not use thin-kerf blades.
Thin-kerf blades can deflect and contact
the guard, which can cause injury to the operator.
Mitre adjustment
1. Lock the saw head in the down position, and loosen the mitre-lock knob.
2. Hold the cutting handle firmly to rotate the mitre table to any desired angle. The
most common angle settings have positive stops: 0°, 15°, 22.5°, 31.6°and 45°.
3. Tighten the mitre-lock knob and release the saw head.
Mitre-angle indicator adjustment
(if necessary)
1. Place the mitre table at the zero
position, making sure the mitre lock is
secured in position.
2. Loosen the mitre-angle indicator screw
and adjust the indicator to the “0” mark
on the mitre scale. (See Fig. 6.)
3. Tighten the mitre-angle indicator screw.
Bevel adjustment
1. When a bevel cut is required, loosen the
bevel lock (Fig.1 point 22) by turning it
counter-clockwise.
2. Tilt the saw head to the desired angle, as
shown on the bevel scale. The blade can be
positioned at any angle, from a 90° straight
cut (0° on the scale) to a 45° left bevel. (See
Fig. 7).
3. Tighten the bevel lock to secure the saw
head.
