disconnect
plug
from
power

any
assembly, adjustments or repairs.
▼ CALIBRATING MITER DETENT SYSTEM
1.
Engage the miter detent at the 0° position.
Loosen the miter lock knob 1/2 turn.
2.
Look for four round holes in the miter scale
plate. In each hole is a screw. Use the small
end of the 6/4mm hex key or a 4mm hex key
to loosen all four screws 1 to 2 turns. This will
loosen the miter detent plate (see Figure 18).

3.
Lock saw down using the head assembly lock
pin (item 43 – page 12).
4.
Hold one side of a 90° combination square
against the fence and rotate the table (and
detent plate) until the side of the saw blade
is in full contact with the other side of the
square.

5. Tighten all four screws – loosen and reset the
miter scale pointer to the “0” position.
▼ MITER SCALE POINTER ADjUSTMENT

▼ KERF INSERT ADjUSTMENT
The kerf inserts should be adjusted close to the
blade, but without touching the blade, to avoid
tear-out on the bottom of the workpiece.
1.
Hold the saw head assembly down and push
in the head assembly lock pin (item 43 – page
12) to keep the saw in the DOWN position.
2.
Loosen the six kerf screws using small end of
6/4 mm hex key or 4 mm hex key.
3.
Adjust the kerf inserts as close to the blade
(teeth) as possible without touching the
blade.
4.
Tighten the kerf screws.
NOTE: At extreme bevel angles, the saw blade may
slightly cut into kerf insert.
