  Loosen the socket head screws that secure the fence to 

the miter table. 

See Figure 18.

  Rotate the fence left or right until the saw blade is parallel 

with the square. 

  Retighten the socket head screws securely and recheck 

the blade-to-fence alignment.

Your  saw  has  several  scale  indicators.  After  squaring 
adjustments  have  been  made,  it  may  be  necessary  to 
loosen the indicator screws and reset them to zero.
