ALIGNING MITRE AND BEVEL
Mitres and bevels have been set at the factory. However, use may effect settings.
Please follow the following procedures when your tool needs adjustments.
Mitre Angle
1. Set the bevel angle at 0.
2. Loosen the locking handle (
N, fig.1
).
3. Depress the mitre detent spring lever.
4. Turn the saw table so that the arrow in the kerf plate points to 0 degrees, then
move the table slightly clockwise and counter-clockwise and let the mitre de-
tent spring lever fit into the groove (it doesn’t matter if needle doesn’t indicate 0
degrees ).
5. Loosen the four hex bolts behind the fence with the blade socket wrench.
6. Lower the saw head and lock it in place with the head lock button.
7. Use the clear plastic setup triangle to check that the saw blade and the fence
(
C, fig.1
) are square. Move the fence a few millimetres to achieve this if
necessary.
8. Tighten the hex bolts in the fence firmly.
9. Confirm that the arrow in the kerf plate points to 0 degrees. If not, loosen the
two screws in the bottom of the mitre detent spring lever and adjust accord-
ingly.
Bevel Angle
A. Vertical stop: 0 degree adjustment
1. Lower saw head to low position and lock it with the head lock button.
2. Loosen the bevel lock handle (
U, fig.2
) on the back of the saw.
3. Check that the blade is perpendicular to the table as measured by the clear
plastic setup triangle. If not,
4. Use an open-end wrench to loosen the hex lock nut and then turn the hex stop
bolt at the back right side of the table.
5. Turn the bolt counter-clockwise and the 0 point moves left, closing the angle.
Turning it clockwise moves the 0 point to the right, opening the angle.
6. When you have established the vertical stop correctly, tighten the lock nut
down to hold the setting.
7. Make sure that the needle points to 0 degrees on the scale. If not, loosen the
screws and adjust the needle.
B. Bevel stop: 45 degree adjustment
1. Lower saw head to low position and lock it with the head lock button.
2. Loosen the bevel lock handle on the back of the saw.
3. Check that the blade is at 45 degrees to the table as measured by the clear
plastic setup triangle. If not,
a. Use an open-end wrench to loosen the hex lock nut and then turn the hex stop
bolt at the back left side of the table.
b. Turn the bolt clockwise and the 45 degree point moves left, opening the angle.
Turning it counter-clockwise moves the 45 degree stop to the right, closing the
angle.
c. When you have established the 45 degree stop correctly, tighten the lock nut
down to hold the setting.
d. Make sure that the needle points to 45 degrees on the scale. If not, loosen the
screws and adjust the needle.
