ADJUSTMENTS
ADJUSTING FENCE EXTENSION
This miter saw comes with a back fence with a fence extension (A) Fig.6 which
slide outwards for additional back support for those long workpieces. Please
note that during steep bevel cut operations to the right, this fence extension
must be fully extended to not interfere with the motor housing or blade guard.
To adjust the position of the fence extension;
1. Loosen the fence extension socket head screw (B) using hex. key.
2. Slide the fence extension outwards to the desired position and retighten the
socket head screw.
ADJUSTING BEVEL ANGLE
This miter saw is capable of dual bevel angles which means the saw head can
be tilted towards the right or the left. To adjust the saw head to any bevel angle;
1. Loosen the bevel lock knob (A) Fig.7 and pull the positive stop adjustment
pin (B) outwards as shown.
2. At this point, the saw head can be inclined to any angle you desire to the
right of the left. If you require a predetermined bevel angle of 0
0
, push the
positive stop adjustment pin inwards and pivot the saw head until it stops at
0
0
.
3. Use the bevel angle pointer (A) Fig.8 and bevel scale (B) as a guide to set
the bevel angle.
4. Once the desired bevel angle is obtained, it is very important that you
retighten the bevel lock knob (A) Fig.7.
SETTING THE BLADE SQUARE WITH THE TABLE
1. Make sure that the electrical plug is removed from the main power supply.
2. Push the saw head down to its lowest position, then pull and turn the head
release knob to hold the saw head in the transport position.
3. Loosen the miter lock knob (A) Fig.5. Rotate the table until the pointer is
positioned at 0
0
. Retighten the miter lock knob.
4. Loosen the bevel lock knob (A) Fig.7 and set the saw arm at 0
0
bevel (the
blade at 90
0
to the miter table). Retighten the bevel lock knob.
5. Place a square (A) Fig.9 against the table and the flat part of the blade body.
NOTE:
Make sure that the square contacts the flat part of the saw blade body, not
the teeth.
6. Rotate the blade by hand and check the blade-to-table alignment at several
points.
7. The edge of the square and the saw blade should be parrallel.
8. If the saw blade angles away from the square, see adjustment procedure on
