NOTE:
Many of the illustrations in this manual show only
portions of the compound miter saw. This is intentional so that
we can clearly show points being made in the illustrations.
Never operate the saw without all guards securely in
place and in good operating condition.
SQUARING THE MITER TABLE TO THE
FENCE
See Figures 20 - 23.
Unplug the saw.
Push down on the saw arm and pull out the lock pin to
release the saw arm.
Raise saw arm to its full raised position.
Loosen the miter lock handle approximately one-half
turn.
Depress the miter lock plate and rotate the miter table
until the pointer on the control arm is positioned at 0
°
.
Release the miter lock plate and securely tighten the miter
lock handle.
Lay a framing square flat on the miter table. Place one
leg of the square against the fence. Place the other leg
of the square beside the throat plate in the miter table.
The edge of the square and the throat plate in the miter
table should be parallel as shown in figure 20.
If the edge of the framing square and the throat plate in
the miter table are not parallel as shown in figures 21 and
22, adjustments are needed.
Using the blade wrench provided, loosen the socket head
screws securing the fence. Adjust the fence left or right
until the framing square and throat plate are parallel.
Retighten the screws securely and recheck the fence-to-
table alignment.
