ADJUSTING THE MITER TABLE INDICATOR
1 . after you have checked or adjusted the fence to be sure it is at 90º to the Blade, you must check
the accuracy of the Miter Table angle indicator .
2 . loosen the screw holding the angle indicator in place . Rotate it until the pointer is exactly on 90º .
Retighten the screw .
ADJUSTING THE BEVEL ANGLE
1 . For making accurate cuts, the Saw Blade must be adjusted to be exactly vertical to the Table .
2 . To check the angle, have the blade assembly in its normal upright position . Make a cut on a piece
of flat sided, fairly thick scrap material .
3 . Check the cut with an accurate square . The cut should be at exactly 90º . You can also check by
rotating one cut-off piece 180º and hold the cut ends together . if the cut is not exactly vertical, the
two pieces will form a slight angle .
4 . if necessary, the bevel angle can be corrected by adjusting the Bevel adjustment Screw on the
right side under the Bevel locking lever .
5 . once the bevel angle is adjusted, adjust the Bevel angle indicator to read 0º when the Saw Blade
is in the vertical position . loosen the screw holding the indicator in place, adjust it to be exactly
over the 0º mark, then retighten the screw .
ADJUSTING OR REPLACING THE KERF BOARD
1 . if the kerf Board becomes damaged it must be replaced .
2 . Remove the four screws holding the kerf Board in place .
3 . install a new kerf Board . Replace the four screws and tighten them slightly .
4 . To adjust the kerf Board, lower the Saw Blade and lock it down with the locking pin . adjust the
kerf Board so the right side of the Blade slightly clears the edge of the kerf Board . loosen the
Bevel lock and set the Bevel angle at 45º left . ensure that the left side of the Blade clears the
kerf Board . Tighten the four screws holding the kerf Board in place .
CLEANING AND LUBRICATING THE MITER SAW
1 . observe the dust Bag while using the saw . empty the sawdust into an appropriate container
when the bag is full .
2 . occasionally wipe or blow off sawdust that accumulates on the saw . Saw dust on the Fence can
cause you to make inaccurate cuts .
3 . keep the Slides free of sawdust . wipe or blow them off as required . use a dry lubricant or wax
on the slides . do not use an oil or grease lubricant, as this will attract dust .
4 . occasionally lubricate the pivot point of the Table as well as other moving parts with a dry
lubricant .
