Arm Lock Adjusting Wheel

With the arm at an "unindexed" position
(other than 90° or 45°) and the miter lock
applied, the locking action should feel tight
and secure.
Considerable effort should be required to
move the arm back towards 0°. It is always
possible to force the arm because of the
leverage advantage the long arm provides.
However, the arm should resist moving when
a reasonable amount of force is applied.
To check follow these steps:
1. Pull miter/arm lock forward to unlock and
rotate arm to approximately 30° left or right.
2. Lock miter/arm lock by pushing handle
toward rear of saw.
3. Apply pressure as shown above.
4. If the arm moves easily:
a.)Unlock miter lock.
b. Locate the adjusting wheel as shown.
c. Turn wheel clockwise to tighten, coun-
terclockwise to loosen.
5. Repeat steps 1, 2, 3 above and readjust
as necessary.
