Remove and Installing the Table Insert (Fig. 8)
WARNING!
• Always unplug the saw to avoid accidental starting.
Remove all small pieces of material from the table cavity
before performing any cuts. The table insert may be
removed for this purpose, but always reattach the table
insert prior to performing a cutting operation.
• Do not start the sliding compound mitre saw without
checking for interference between the blade and table
insert. Damage could result to the blade, table insert or
turntable if blade strike occurs during the cutting operation.
1. To remove, loosen and remove the six screws (1) on the
table insert (2) with a screwdriver and remove the insert.
2. To install, reposition the table insert, install the six screws
and tighten.
3. Check for blade clearance by moving the slide carriage
through the full motion of the blade in the table slot.
Setting the tool
NOTE: This tool is accurately adjusted before shipping from
the factory. Check the following accuracy and readjust them if
necessary in order to obtain the best results in operation.
BEVEL STOP ADJUSTMENTS (Fig. 9, 10, 11, 12, 13)
NOTE: To ensure accurate cuts, alignment should be
checked and adjustments made prior to use.
0
º
Bevel Adjustment (Fig 9, 10, 13)
1. Loosen bevel lock handle (4 - Fig. 13) and tilt the cutting
arm to the left against the 0° bevel stop. Tighten the bevel
lock handle.
2. Place a combination square on the mitre table with the
rule against the table and heel of the square against the
saw blade.
3. If the blade is not 0º to the mitre table, loosen the four
adjustment bolts (1 - Fig. 9) at the rear of the unit with a 5
mm hex wrench. Unlock the bevel lock handle and adjust
the cutting arm zero degrees to the table. Tighten the
bevel lock handle (4 - Fig. 13) and the four hex bolts (1 -
Fig. 9) after alignment is achieved.
Bevel Scale Indicator (Fig. 10)
When the 0° bevel adjustment is complete, adjust the
indicator so the tip of the pointer (2) aligns with the 0° line
(3) on the scale by loosening the pointer screw (1) using
a screwdriver then retighten the screw after adjustment is
complete.
45° Left Bevel Positive Stop Adjustment (Fig. 11, 12, 13)
1. Set the mitre angle to zero degrees. Fully extend the
sliding fence completely to the left then pull the bevel
detent pin (1 - Fig. 11) toward the front of the machine.
NOTE: When retracting the bevel detent pin, it may be
required to move the mitre saw upper arm assembly to
the left/right.
2. Loosen the bevel lock handle (4 - Fig. 13) and tilt the
cutting arm completely to the right.
3. Using a combination square, check to see if the blade is
45° to the table.
4. To adjust, tilt the cutting arm to zero degrees, loosen the
locknut (5 - Fig. 11) and turn the bolt (6 - Fig. 11 ) in or out
accordingly.
5. Tilt the cutting arm to the left and recheck alignment.
6. Repeat steps until the blade is at 45° to the table.
7. Once alignment is achieved, tighten the locknut (5 - Fig.
11).
45° Right Bevel Positive Stop Adjustment (Fig. 11, 12, 13)
1. Set the mitre angle to zero degrees. Fully extend the
sliding fence completely to the right then pull the bevel
detent pin (1 - Fig. 11) toward the front of the machine.
NOTE: When retracting the bevel detent pin, it may be
required to move the mitre saw upper arm assembly to
the left/right.
2. Loosen the bevel lock handle (4 - Fig. 13) and tilt the
cutting arm completely to the right.
3. Using a combination square, check to see if the blade is
45° to the table.
4. To adjust, tilt the cutting arm to zero degrees, loosen the
locknut (5 - Fig. 11) and turn the bolt (6 - Fig. 11) in or
out accordingly.
5. Tilt the cutting arm to the right and recheck alignment.
6. Repeat steps 3-5 until the blade is at 45° to the table.
Once alignment is achieved, tighten the locknut (5 - Fig.
11).
33.9° Bevel Adjustment (Fig. 11, 12, 13)
1. Set the mitre angle to zero degree. Fully extend both
sliding fence.
2. Loosen the bevel lock handle (4 - Fig. 13) and tilt cutting
arm completely to the 33.9° left position stop by pushing
in on the bevel detent pin toward the rear of the machine.
3. Using a combination square, check to see if the blade is
not at a 33.9° to the table.
4. To adjust the screw in or out with a wrench (7 - Fig. 11)
until the blade is 33.9° to the table.
5. Repeat steps for the right bevel 33.9° bevel adjustment.
Mitre Angle Adjustment (Fig. 13)
The sliding compound mitre saw scale can be easily read
showing mitre angles from 0° to 45° to the left, and 0° to
60° to the right. The most common angle cut setting slots
have positive stops, permitting fast adjustments to the desired
position. Follow the process below for quickest and most
accurate adjustments.
1. Lift up the mitre quick lock to unlock the table.
2. Move the turntable while lifting up on the positive stop
locking lever(1) to align the indicator (2) to the desired
degree measurement.
3. Lock the table into position by pressing down on the mitre
quick lock.
Mitre Scale Indicator (Fig. 13)
