ADJUSTMENTS
WARNING:
In order 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.
Adjusting the miter
1. Lock the saw head in the down position, and loosen the miter-lock knob.
2. Hold the cutting handle firmly in order to rotate the miter table to the desired
angle. The most common angle settings (0°, 15°, 22.5°, 31.6° and 45°) have
positive stops.
3. Tighten the miter-lock knob, and release the saw head.
Adjusting the miter-angle indicator (if necessary)
1. Place the miter table at the zero position, making sure the miter lock is
secured in position.
2. Loosen the miter-angle indicator
screw, and adjust the indicator to
the “0” mark on the miter scale
(see Fig. 6).
3. Tighten the miter-angle indicator
screw.
Adjusting the bevel
1. When a bevel cut is required,
loosen the bevel lock (Fig. 1, #22)
by turning it counter-clockwise.
2. Tilt the saw head to the desired
angle, as indicated 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 in order to
secure the saw head in position.
