SQUARING THE BLADE TO THE MITER TABLE

See Figures 21 - 23.

n

  Unplug the saw.

n

  Pull the saw arm all the way down and engage the lock 

pin to hold the saw arm in transport position.

n

  Loosen  the  miter  lock  handle  approximately  one-half 

turn.

n

  Depress the miter lock plate and rotate the miter table 

until the pointer on the control arm is positioned at 0

°

.

n

  Release the miter lock plate and securely tighten the miter 

lock handle.

n

  Loosen bevel lock knob and set saw arm at 0

°

 bevel (blade 

set 90

°

 to miter table). Tighten bevel lock knob.

n

  Place a combination square against the miter table and 

the flat part of saw blade. 

    

NOTE: 

Make sure that the square contacts the flat part 

of the saw blade, not the blade teeth.

n

  Rotate the blade by hand and check the blade-to-table 

alignment at several points.

n

  The  edge  of  the  square  and  the  saw  blade  should  be 

parallel as shown in figure 21.

n

  If the top or bottom of the saw blade angles away from 

the square as shown in figures 22 and 23, adjustments 
are needed.

n

  Loosen the lock nut securing positive stop adjustment 

screw. Also loosen bevel lock knob. 

n

  Adjust  positive  stop  adjustment  screw  to  bring 

saw blade into alignment with the square. See “Positive 
Stop Adjustment” in the 

Adjustment 

section.

n

  Retighten  bevel  lock  knob.  Next,  retighten  lock  nut 

securing the positive stop adjustment screw. Recheck 
blade-to-table alignment.

    

NOTE: 

The above procedure can be used to check blade 

squareness of the saw blade to the miter table at both 0

°

 

and 45

°

 angles.

The saw has two scale indicators, one on the bevel scale 
and one on the miter scale. After squaring adjustments have 
been  made,  it  may  be  necessary  to  loosen  the  indicator 
screws and reset them to zero.
