See Figure 17.
The slide resistance (friction) on your saw is adjustable. Use a 

4mm Hex wrench. 

1. 

Locate the friction adjustment screw on the saw arms 

(A). Turn right to tighten the sliding friction. 

2. 

Turn left to loosen the sliding friction.

See Figure 18.
If your saw’s miter lock does not lock securely, you may be 

required to tighten the miter lock adjustment. This adjustment 

is located on the underside of the miter saw arm. To make 

adjustments: 

1. 

First unlock the miter lock knob. Use a 10mm open 

ended wrench to loosen (counterclockwise) lock nut 

(B) while holding the adjustment rod (C) in place using 

another 10mm open end wrench. 

2. 

Turn the adjustment rod in order to tighten/loosen the 

miter lock. 

3. 

Lock/Unlock the miter lock knob to check the miter lock 

adjustment. 

4. 

Once you have set your miter lock adjustment 

re-tighten the lock nut (B) to prevent this adjustment 

from loosening over time.

ALWAYS check to make sure the miter lock 

is locked tightly into position before using your saw. Failure to 

follow these instructions could result in the miter lock slipping 

during use of the saw.
