The compound miter saw is equipped with spring-loaded positive stops at the 90 degree straight cut-off
position and at the 15, 22.5, 31.62 and 45 degrees right and left miter positions. These spring-loaded
positive stops can be felt as you are rotating the table. NOTE: The 31.62 degree right and left miter positive
stops are used when cutting crown moulding as explained later in this manual. A large scale (B) Fig. 18, and
cursor (C) is provided for intermediate angles.
4.
The center line (C) Fig. 18, on the cursor indicates the actual angle of cut. Each line on the scale (B)
represents one degree. In effect, when the center line (C) is moved from one line to the next on the scale,
the angle of cut is changed by one degree.
5.
The pointer is provided with two additional lines (D) and (E) Fig. 18. This allows you to move the control
arm exactly 1/2 degree. For example, assume the center line (C) is pointing to the 10 degree mark on the
scale, as shown, and you want to change the angle of cut 1/2 degree to the right. Move the control arm until
the right line (E) lines up with the next line on the scale. The angle of cut will then be changed 1/2 degree to
the right. If you were changing the angle of cut 1/2 degree to the left, use the left line (D) in the same manner.

When rotating the table, the table locking lever must be
depressed. When the locking lever is not depressed, the
table should be in the locked position. If after a long period
of time the clamping action of the table locking mechan-
ism needs adjusted, proceed as follows:
1.
Loosen locknut (A) Fig. 19, using open end wrench
supplied. Turn screw (B) with allen wrench supplied. Turn
screw clockwise to increase or counterclockwise to de-
crease clamping action of locking lever.
IMPORTA N T:
After adjustment is completed tighten locknut (A),
just enough to take all play out of the handle assembly.
Tightening locknut (A) too much will defeat the
purpose of the adjustment.
