SQUARING THE BLADE TO THE MITER TABLE

See Figures 29 - 31.

Unplug the saw.

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

pin to hold the saw arm in transport position.

Loosen the miter lock handle approximately one-half

turn.

Depress the miter lock plate and rotate the miter table

until the pointer on the control arm is positioned at 0

Release the miter lock plate and securely tighten the miter

lock handle.

Loosen bevel lock knob and set saw arm at 0

bevel (blade

set 90

to miter table). Tighten bevel lock knob.

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.

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

alignment at several points.

The edge of the square and the saw blade should be

parallel as shown in figure 29.

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

the square as shown in figures 30 and 31, adjustments
are needed.

Loosen the lock nut securing positive stop adjustment

screw. Also loosen bevel lock knob.

Adjust positive stop adjustment screw to bring saw blade

into alignment with the square. See “Positive Stop Adjust-
ment” in the

Adjustment

section.

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.
