SETUP
Calibrating the Miter Angle Indicator
After checking or adjusting the Fence to
confirm that it is at 90º to the Blade, check
the accuracy of the Miter Angle Indicator.
1. Loosen the screw holding the
Angle Indicator in place.
2. Rotate it until the pointer is exactly on 90º.
3. Retighten the screw.
Calibrating the Bevel Angle
For making accurate cuts, the Saw Blade must
be adjusted to be exactly vertical to the Table.
1. 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.
2. Check the cut with an accurate square.
The cut should be at exactly 90º.
3. Angle can also be checked by rotating one cut-off
piece 180º and holding 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
If the Kerf Board becomes damaged it must be replaced.
1. Remove the four screws holding
the Kerf Board in place.
2. Install a new Kerf Board. Replace the
four screws and tighten them slightly.
To adjust the Kerf Board:
1. Lower the blade assembly and lock it
down with the Head Lockdown Pin.
2. Adjust the Kerf Board so the right side of the
Blade slightly clears the edge of the Kerf Board.
3. Loosen the Bevel Locking Lever and
set the bevel angle at 45º left.
4. Ensure that the left side of the
Blade clears the Kerf Board.
5. Tighten the four screws holding
the Kerf Board in place.
