ASSEMBLY & ADJUSTMENTS
WARNING:
Do not plug in or turn on the tool until it is fully assembled according to the instructions. Read
through and become familiarized with the following procedures of handling and adjusting your miter saw. Failure
to follow the safety instructions may result in serious personal injury.
WARNING:
Only adjust the front bolt (Fig. 12
- 1). The rear bolt is used to prevent the blade from
cutting the table during normal cutting. DO NOT ad-
just the rear depth bolt.
5. Flip the bevel stop block (Fig. 11 - 4) up. Loosen the
zero stop lock nut (Fig. 11 - 2) and adjust the zero stop
screw (Fig. 11 - 1) until the table is 90° with the blade.
Tighten the zero stop lock nut to secure the blade.
6. Make a test cut. Repeat step 5 until your test cut is
accurate.
NOTE:
To adjust one of the 45° bevel stop screws (Fig.
11 - 3 & 7), loosen the bevel adjustment nut (Fig. 11 -
8), flip down the bevel stop block, and turn the bevel
adjustment screw (Fig. 11 - 7) using a hex wrench. Turn
clockwise to increase the bevel and counterclockwise to
decrease the bevel. Tighten the nut after adjustment.
SETTING THE BEVEL SCALE INDICATOR
1. Before setting the bevel scale indicator, the table must
be perpendicular to the saw blade. See section titled,
"Squaring the Table with the Blade" on page 15.
2. Loosen the screw (Fig. 11 - 5) holding the bevel scale
indicator.
3. Adjust the direction of the indicator so that it accu-
rately points to 0° on the bevel scale. Tighten the screw.
ADJUSTING THE CUTTING DEPTH
The saw cutting depth can be adjusted if you would like
to perform a kerfing or rabbet cut that does not cut all
the way through the workpiece.

1. Unplug the tool from its power source and raise the
saw head assembly.
2. Locate the depth stop settings on the left side of the
saw (Fig. 12). Rotate the depth stop plate (Fig. 12 - 3) to
the left to use the depth stop bolt setting.
3. Pull down on the saw head to check the current set-
ting. To change the setting, continue to step 4.
4. Loosen the depth stop nut (Fig. 12 - 2) on the depth
stop bolt (Fig. 12 - 1).
To decrease depth,
turn the depth
stop bolt clockwise.
To increase depth,
turn the depth
stop bolt counterclockwise. Tighten the nut after adjust-
ment.
NOTE:
If needed, push the depth stop plate (Fig. 12 - 3)
to the position shown in Fig. 12 to temporarily disable it.
Make sure the depth stop is properly aligned to allow the
bolt to pass through it.
5. Check the cutting depth setting by completing a test
cut on a piece of scrap wood. Repeat steps 4 - 5 until the
desired depth is achieved.
