ASSEMBLY
ADJUSTING ThE MITER LOCK LEVER
See Figures 15 - 16.
Prior to squaring the saw blade to the fence, check and align
the miter lock lever. The blade must be set at an “unindexed”
miter position other than 0°, 15°, 22.5°, 31.6°, and 45° to
test. In the “locked” position, the action of pushing the miter
lock lever down should feel tight and secure. Considerable
effort should be required to move the miter table. If the table
moves easily when in the “locked” position, an adjustment
of the miter lock lever is required.
To adjust:
Unplug the saw.
Lift the miter lock lever to unlock.
Locate the set screw under the miter lock lever.
Using a hex key, adjust the set screw until the proper
amount of tension in the lock lever is attained.
Once all adjustments have been made, push the miter
lock lever down to relock the miter table.
SQUARING ThE SAW BLADE TO ThE FENCE
See Figures 17 - 22
Unplug the saw.
Pull the saw arm all the way down and lock in transport
position.
Lift the miter lock lever.
Rotate the miter table until the pointer on the miter scale
is positioned at 0°.
Lock the miter lock lever by pushing it down.
Remove the sliding miter fence by loosening the fence
screw and lifting the sliding miter fence off the saw.
Lay a framing square flat on the miter table. Place one
leg of the square against the fence. Slide the other leg
of the square against the flat part of saw blade.
NOTE: Make sure that the square contacts the flat part
of the saw blade, not the blade teeth.
The edge of the square and the saw blade should be
parallel as shown in figure 17.
If the front or back edge of the saw blade angles away
from the square as shown in figures 19 and 20, adjust-
ments are needed.
