2. Locate the spring-loaded locking button on
the right side below the motor. Pull it out and
turn it clockwise until the pin locks in place.
3. Loosen the Bevel Lock Handle to unlock the head
angle, then tighten when at the desired angle.
4. Screw in the Miter Position Handle.
Dust Collection
1. Attach the included Dust Collection Bag to the
Dust Outlet, or connect a dust collection system
hose (not included) to the Dust Outlet.
2. If using the Dust Collection Bag, clean whenever the
bag becomes half full by removing the bag, zipping
it open and emptying the sawdust out completely.
Calibration after Shipping
During shipment, the Fence and Bevel Angle may
come slightly out of alignment. Adjust as follows:
adjusting the Fence
1. The Fence holds the work piece in a fixed position
while the Table and or the blade assembly are
adjusted in a miter and/or bevel angle.
2. To make accurate cuts, the Fence must be
perpendicular (at a 90º angle) to the Saw Blade.
3. Before beginning work, make a test cut on
scrap material with the Table set at 90º.
4. Check the cut with an accurate square. You
can also reverse the two pieces, hold the
cut ends together, and hold a good straight
edge along the side of the pieces.
5. If either test reveals that the cut is not
a true 90º angle, you must adjust the
Fence before beginning work.
6. To adjust the Fence, first unplug the tool.
7. Lower the blade assembly and lock it in place using
the spring loaded locking button with the locking pin.
8. Lay a carpenter’s square on the table with one
edge along the blade and the other along the
Fence. Any inaccuracy should be visible.
note:
The square must contact the surface of the
blade, not the teeth, for an accurate reading.
9. The Fence is held in place with bolts at each
end. Loosen the bolts slightly, and gently tap the
Fence into position using a soft mallet. Retighten
the bolts and make another test cut. Repeat the
process until the Fence is adjusted accurately.
10. Once the Fence is accurately adjusted,
tighten the bolts firmly in place. Recheck
one last time, then proceed to work.
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 Pointer.
2. Loosen the screw holding the Pointer in place.
Rotate it until the pointer is exactly on 90º.
3. Retighten the screw and verify
that pointer is still aligned.
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 flipping one cut‑off
piece over and holding the cut ends
together. If the cut is not exactly vertical,
the two pieces will form a slight angle.
5. If necessary, the 0° bevel angle can be
corrected by adjusting the lock nut that stops
the rotation of the unit on the right side. Tighten
the Lock Nut securely after adjusting.
6. Once the bevel angle is adjusted, adjust the
Bevel Angle Pointer to read 0º when the Saw
Blade is in the vertical position. Loosen the screw
holding the Pointer in place, adjust it to be exactly
over the 0º mark, then retighten the screw.
