TO SET THE BLADE AT 0° AND 45°
See Figures 50 - 51.
The angle settings of your saw have been set at the factory
and, unless damaged in shipping, should not require set-
ting during assembly. After extensive use, it may need to
be checked.

Unplug the saw.

Raise the blade and remove the blade guard.
Determine if the blade is perfectly vertical (0°):

Place a combination square beside the blade on the
right. The edge of the square and the saw blade should
be parallel.
NOTE:
Make sure that the square contacts the flat part
of the saw blade, not the blade teeth.

If the blade is not perfectly vertical (0°):
• Unlock the bevel locking lever.
• Rotate the 0° adjustment screw to adjust as needed.
• Lock the bevel locking lever.

Check again for squareness and continue to adjust if
needed.
Determine if the blade is exactly 45°:

Place a combination square beside the blade on the
right. The edge of the square and the saw blade should
be parallel.
NOTE: Make sure that the square contacts the flat part
of the saw blade, not the blade teeth.
 If the blade is not exactly 45°:
• Unlock the bevel locking lever.
• Rotate the 45° adjustment screw to adjust as needed.
• Lock the bevel locking lever.

Check again for squareness and continue to adjust if
needed.

If needed, adjust the bevel indicator to 45°.
 Make a test cut.
TO ADJUST THE MITER GAUGE
See Figure 52.
You can set the miter gauge at 0° and plus or minus 45°
with the miter gauge stop pin and adjustable stop screws.
NOTE:
The miter gauge provides close accuracy in
angled cuts. For very close tolerances, test cuts are
recommended.

Loosen knob and pull out on stop pin to rotate miter
gauge base past stop screws.
 Loosen the lock nut of the 0° stop screw at the stop pin
with a 8 mm wrench.

Place a combination square against the miter gauge rod
and the miter gauge base.

If the rod is not square, loosen the knob, adjust the rod,
and tighten the knob.
